Hej,

BEx Business Explorer Frontend does not work with MS Office 64 Bit. Only with MS Office 32 Bit.

I also think BEx Business Explorer Frontend ist not longer supportet by SAP. Still works on MS Office 32 Bit but it is - in my opinion - outdated and terrible to use.

For MS Office 64 Bit you have to use SAP Analysis for Microsoft Office.

We use it and it works fine. It also has a better usability and ist lightly faster.

Greetings.

I have the same with GUI 8.0 PL 5
But just on one Client ...
I will still investigate it...
Good Luck!
