Problem Note 18600: Null reference exceptions can occur when you execute Favorites in the
SAS® Add-In for Microsoft Office
Null reference exceptions can occur when you execute Favorites that
open a repository document before you connect to the metadata server.
The problem occurs because there is no connection to the metadata server
so the favorites cannot find the document.
To prevent this problem, connect to the metadata server first (before
executing the Favorite) or apply the latest hot fix for the SAS Add-In
for Microsoft Office.
Select the Hot Fix tab in this note to access the hot fix for this issue.
