Working with the Microsoft Excel Add-In

Installing the Seagate Crystal Report Wizard in Excel

The Microsoft Excel Add-In may need to be installed through Excel's Add-In Manager before you can use it. If you installed Excel after Seagate Crystal Reports, refer to the following procedure. If, however, you installed Excel before Seagate Crystal Reports, the Add-In is installed automatically.

Note:    If the Excel Add-In is automatically installed and you choose to remove it, you must install it manually (using the following procedure) and then use the Microsoft Add-In Manager to uninstall it.

Once the Seagate Crystal Report Wizard is added to Excel, you can select it anytime you use Excel.

To install the Seagate Crystal Report Wizard in Excel

1. On the Tools menu in Excel, choose Add-Ins.
2. In the Add-Ins dialog box, click Browse.
3. Search for the file Crptxls.xla in the Browse dialog box.

   Crptxls.xla is installed in the \Program Files\Seagate Software\Report Designer Component directory by default. The file may have been moved to another directory by a system administrator.

4. After choosing Crptxls.xla, click OK.

   The Seagate Crystal Report Wizard is added to the Add-Ins dialog box and is selected by default.

   

5. Click OK.

After installing the Excel Add-In and selecting its check box, a Seagate Crystal Report Wizard menu option is added to the Tools menu and a button is added to the Standard toolbar. You can use either of these to open the Seagate Crystal Report Wizard.
