Re: v4r5 netserver excel problem

[Philipp Rusch <Philipp.Rusch@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I didn't understand it either, Jim.
But a co-worker of mine just gave it a try,
and after that update it worked !
Must have been some .DLLs  hanging around in the
system32 directory ...
We did not have the problem on machines WITHOUT
CA Express, though. (Be it Win2000 SP2 or SP3 or
NT 4 SP6a, all the same)

Regards from Germany, Philipp
