I did RTD server project. I use it by the UDF. There is a problem with Excel. If the file using my function is saved as xls Excel crash when opening the file. Do not crash on xlsx files.
What could be causing this?

I investigated that when I turn off automatic sheet calculation Excel stop working after calculate sheet command. I can't find any relationship with file format.

When I call RTD server without UDF problem still exists. I removed all logic from RTD server without success.

Hi Krzysztof,

Are you saying that a new empty RTD server produces the same issue? Please make sure that no Excel.exe is hanging in the Processes list of the Task Manager window.

I think that I have no luck with these components. Previously, I removed the logic of the existing add-in.
Now, when I try to recreate it from scratch there are errors after adding new methods. Maybe I do something wrong?
Here is video about errors:

I tested my add-ins (UDF with RTD) on Excel 2003 and 2007 (Windows XP). Everything seems to be ok. I don't known why Excel 2010 (Windwos 7) crashes.

Thank you for the video. We reproduce this problem. A fix for this will be available in a future Add-in Express build. Here is a workaround.

After you generated the RTD server, you get the following code: 

unit MyRtdServer_IMPL;

interface

uses
  SysUtils, Classes, ComServ, MyRtdServer_TLB, adxRTDServ, StdVcl;

type
  TcoMyRtdServer = class(TadxRTDServer, IcoMyRtdServer);

  TRTDServerModule = class(TadxXLRTDServerModule)
  private
  protected
  public
  end;

implementation

{$R *.dfm}

initialization
  TadxRTDFactory.Create(ComServer, TcoMyRtdServer, CLASS_coMyRtdServer, TRTDServerModule);

end.


Now, please edit it a little: 

unit MyRtdServer_IMPL;

interface

uses
  SysUtils, Classes, ComServ, MyRtdServer_TLB, adxRTDServ, StdVcl;

type
  TcoMyRtdServer = class(TadxRTDServer, IcoMyRtdServer)
  end;

  TRTDServerModule = class(TadxXLRTDServerModule)
  private
  protected
  public
  end;

implementation

{$R *.dfm}

initialization
  TadxRTDFactory.Create(ComServer, TcoMyRtdServer, CLASS_coMyRtdServer, TRTDServerModule);

end.


Do you see? It's TcoMyRtdServer.

Your workaround works. I found another similar problem. I will document it at evening.

My add-in still doesn't work. I splitted GUI, UDF and RTD server into three dlls. Without effect.

Krzysztof,

Can you send me your project (or any other project reproducing the issue) for testing?
