Hello,
I am hoping someone could provide their assistance with the following error. Many of my colleagues are receiving this error when trying to export a table or form from NAV to Excel.Screenshot-2022_2D00_09_2D00_15-135345.png
We are operating Dynamics NAV 2009 on Windows 10 and Windows 11 machines.
I can confirm the error message appears on both Windows operating systems (W-10 & W-11)

Thank you very much in advance.
Regards,

Rachel.

    Looks like you excel license isn't registered. Is a local or a terminal server mode?

    Hi,

    I am not sure now you will have much support for 2009, but can you check if you already installed MS office, and try to re-install the NAV 2009

    Thanks.

    Hi, NAV 2019 has been end of life. If you cannot integrate with the latest OS or Office, please upgrade NAV to BC.
