    Thanks.

    Based on your AX build number you have Dynamics AX 2009 RTM version: cloudblogs.microsoft.com/.../

    If you look at AX 2009 system requirements, you will notice that: "Windows Server 2012 R2, Standard Edition or Datacenter Edition is supported with Microsoft Dynamics AX 2009 Service Pack 1 with Rollup 8 and the hotfix from Knowledge Base article 3209897. "

    This could explain your issue. I have seen Excel issues when AX 2009 client was run on a newer Windows version than it supported.

    Are you really using AX 2009 RTM version in a live system? You should definetely update to the latest available version.

    No, I mean operating system version = Windows version.

    Great, and could you tell what operating system version the AX client is running on?

    Hi Nikolaos,

    No, this is my first time working on it.

    I am working on AX 2009.

    Hi abd,

    did it work before? What was changed before it stopped working?

    What operating system version the AX client is running on?
