Sage 100 Excel button is disabled or cannot export to Excel

Cause

  • Role Maintenance prevents the Export to Excel from Lookup/Grids
  • Microsoft Excel is not recognized by the Sage 100 program as installed on the workstation.
  • More than one version of Microsoft Excel or Microsoft Office installed.

Resolution

Possible Resolution 1:

  • Select in Sage 100, Library MasterMainRole Maintenance
  • Check the checkbox under Module OptionsLibrary MasterAllow Export to Excel from Lookups/Grids

Possible Resolution 3:

  • Check Control Panel, Programs and Features (Add/Remove Programs, etc.) for more than one entry for Microsoft Office or Excel.
  • For example: Microsoft Microsoft 365 ProPlus – en-us AND Microsofot Microsoft 365 en-us.
  • Compare to other working workstations regarding the “correct” entry.

Other possible resolutions:

  • Verify the local ‘Users’ group has READ permissions to the following registry key:
    *HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\WOW6432Node\CLSID\{00020810-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}
  • Try uninstall and reinstall of the Sage 100 Workstation Setup program
  • Try uninstall and reinstall of the Microsoft Excel program
    • Note: This has been known to work, because it resets the Windows Registry entry for Microsoft Office/Excel, which may be incorrect or corrupted.
  • If familiar with what registry entries are created when Microsoft Excel is installed, verify them.
