When navigating a report in SAS Financial Management 4.4 with Hot Fix 1 or Hot Fix 2 applied, you might encounter the error:

This will most likely happen when you open a form that is utilizing the SAS Financial Management API in a Visual Basic script.

To circumvent the problem, perform the following steps.

1. Open the SAS Financial Management report in Microsoft Excel.
2. On the Excel toolbar, select Tools ► Macro ► Visual Basic Editor. A Microsoft Visual Basic window will appear.
3. In the Microsoft Visual Basic toolbar, select Tools ► References.
4. In the list of available references, navigate to SASESExcelAddin and de- select the reference.
5. With the SASESExcelAddin still highlighted, select Browse.
6. Navigate to:

   <drive>\Program Files\SAS\SAS Financial Management\Add-in for Microsoft Excel

   Note that the directory is "\SAS Financial Management\" not "\SASFinancialManagement\".

7. Select SASESExcelAddin.tlb and select Open.
8. Verify that the SASESExcelAddin reference is selected in the Microsoft Visual Basic window.
9. Select OK and then exit out of the Visual Basic Editor.
10. Save your report by selecting SAS Solutions ► File ► Save Template or Save Form Design from the Excel menu bar.

You should now be able to successfully work with the SAS Financial Management API in your report.

Update for Hot Fix 2 If Hot Fix 2 is applied to a system that already has Hot Fix 1 applied, this error will occur. It should not occur if Hot Fix 2 is applied to a base system.
