Excel Connector not showing in Excel

(imported topic written by maestro64)

FYI, I am new to the thread and was attempting to install the excel connector. I was able to install the code but cannot get excel 2010 to recognize the addin. Result is no BigFix menu available in the excel menu bar. Appreciate any guidance getting this to function. Also, would prefer to use ms access rather than excel and wondering if this is an option?

Thanks

Hi,

It might be disabled, see the Add-Ins option and enable it.

I have the same issue with Excel 2007, open excel options and enable BigFixExcelConnector add-ins will bring it back on menu.

Cheers,

You most likely do not have .NET Framework 4 Extended Profile installed. The client profile is not sufficient. I had this problem when I first installed and it drove me up the wall. After installing the extended profileā€¦it showed up and worked.

The Installer can be found here:
