These problems occurred on some Excel installations with version 1.2 & 1.3. To correct the problem, make sure you have the latest version of Golf Tracker for Excel - version 1.3a or later. If this does not solve the problem, you will need to download and install the latest service pack for your version of Microsoft Office. (There was a bug in the initial release of Excel 2002 (XP) that caused the error on some installations but it may also apply to earlier releases also.) You will need to recreate your scorecards if you are still getting run-time 6 errors after installing the latest updates.
If you are using Excel 2002 (XP), the "New Workbook Task Pane" is displayed when you click the "Enter Score" button. Just select the General Template option and the New File dialog box will appear. Select the Golf Courses tab and all of your golf course scorecard file templates will be listed. This behavior only affects the initial release of Excel 2002 (XP) and can be corrected by installing Service Pack 1 for Microsoft Office. In Excel 97 and 2000, the New File dialog box is displayed by default.
In order to enjoy all the features that our Excel applications provide, it is necessary to have macros enabled in Excel. You may receive a security warning that the file "contains macros by DJI Computer Solutions." In order for Golf Tracker for Excel to do its job, you will need to enable the macros it contains.

This problem is caused by a bug in Office/Excel 97 and you can correct the problem by downloading the latest patches for Office 97. The bug is due to a program installing a newer version of the Office Automation files (including OLEAUT32.DLL) that is not completely compatible with Excel 97. You can determine which Excel patches you need to apply by reading the Microsoft Knowledgebase article Q232652 at: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q232652
If you are experiencing frequent crashes in Excel 2000 or Excel 2002/XP, use the Detect and Repair option on the Help menu to verify that your Excel installation has not been damaged and the Office automation features are still intact. You can also go to the Microsoft Office web site and use the Office Update feature to install the latest patches. When installing the latest patches, Excel's macro security policy will be modified without your permission. Click this link to our Virus Protection page for more details.
