Good morning,
after having registered "MyFirstRTDServer.dll", the RTD command from excel returns "N/A", it seems the library is not loaded.
Besides, after having registered "MyFirstAddIn", the new toolbar correctly shows and works in Excel.
I have purchased Add-In Express V.2 VLC for Delphi 6.
My purpose is to test AdxRTDserver, via Excel 2002.
I have installed Excel 2002, then, under directory "AfalinaSoft\Add-in Express 2\QDemo\XLRTDServer" I compiled and registered the "MyFirstRTDServer" example included, following the instructions.
I have the "MyFirstRTDServer.dll" generated, then I open the included "Book1.xls" file, but the Excel cell returns "N/A".
I spell-checked every parameter of my RTD function, and the parameter list is OK:
- 1) "MyFirstRTDServer.MyRTDServer"
- 2) "" (it's on my local machine)
- 3) "NewTopic"
Another example, under directory "AfalinaSoft\Add-in Express 2\QDemo\FirstAddIn" I compiled and registered the "MyFirstAddIn" example included.
After generating "MyFirstAddIn.dll", I opened Excel and I see the new toolbar, and the button works correctly.
I noticed other 2 interesting things:
1) if excel is open, when I compile "MyFirstAddIn" I get "MyFirstAddIn.dll is in use" error.
2) if excel is open, when I compile "MyFirstRTDServer" it compile successfully -- it seems it is not in use!
I also lurked into the registry, and there are the keys of the classes, type library and names of both "MyFirstRTDServer" and "MyFirstAddIn".
What's wrong?!
Thank you for your help. |

I have just tested this on Delphi 6 and my Excel 2003. Works fine.
Could you please check several flags on the Security dialog box (Tools -> Macro -> Security). If the "Trust all installed add-ins and templates" is unchecked check it.
Sincerely,

Further notices on this topic:
1) DLL registration works at user level rather than machine level?
2) How to register DLL for "limited" user, in Windows XP?
Let me explain.
I switched, on the same machine (Windows XP professional), to a user with Administrator privileges. I opened Excel, but I didn't find my toolbar, and my RTD function returns "N/A".
Then, I registered "MyFirstRTDserver.dll" and "MyFirstAddIn.dll", closed and reopened Excel, and everything worked fine.
I switched to another user, this time with limited privileges.
Again, I opened excel and didn't find my toolbar.
But this time, I could'n register my DLLs, since the system denied this action, due to limited privileges on the user.
Well... maybe I am wrong, but I thought registering DLLs worked at machine level (=visible to every user) and not at user level.
If so, how can I let a limited user see toolbars, addins, and RTDservers?
Thank you again. |

I've read once again my previous message and understood that didn't give a full answer to the question.
For RTD Servers: as any COM Object registered into operating system by Administrator it is available for Restricted user. So RTD Servers are to work for a limited user.
