Engagement - Update epace.xla Location

Modified on: Fri, May 3 2024 9:12 AM

ISSUE:

  • Engagement does not show the actual name in the title bar. It shows numbers/letters
  • #NAME? is showing in cells that link back to the trial balance
  • I am getting errors when trying to publish workpapers


SOLUTION:

  • The path to the Engagement add-in for Excel has changed and needs to be manually updated
  • Open Excel
  • Select File > Options > Add-ins
  • From Manage > select Excel Add-ins > Go
  • Select browse on the right > navigate to C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\root\Office16\Library > Select epace.xla
  • Select Yes to replace the current Epace add-in
  • Close Excel and re-open
  • Check any Engagement based Excel file


ALTERNATE SOLUTION:

  • Screen Connect to backstage > registry
  • Locate Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Excel\options - OPEN =  "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office16\LIBRARY\epace.xla"
