Question

Opening a table pattern in excel with excel open

First, the parameter part_table_editor is set to "excel"

 

That said, Creo will not allow me to open and edit a table pattern in excel if I already have another excel window open.

 

When attempting to do that it throws this error:

The fix I have found (which is incredibly inefficient) is to close all open excel windows, open the table pattern, then reopen the excel files I am using to generate the data needed for the table pattern.

 

Does anyone know if there is a fix that will allow me to open table patterns in excel without closing all other excel windows?

    Here you are in the Creo Elements direct / Modeling community.

    You should better move your post to the Creo Parametric to have a better chance to get an answer.

    @Mahesh_Sharma Thank you for the reply. I discovered my browser option is set to chromium in the .sup file. As such, I wasn't able to test the alternate setting immediately. I will follow up.
