Problem Note 42688: SAS® Financial Management functionality disabled if two OLAP reports opened and you log off one of them
 |  |  |  |  |
If you open and log on to two SAS Financial Management Read-Only (OLAP) reports at one time, closing either one of those reports disables SAS Financial Management functionality for the other report. It appears that you are still logged on, and you still see menu options when you click your right mouse button. However, nothing happens when you select those menu options. You must log off and then log back on to the SAS Financial Management Add-In for Microsoft Excel to regain 'normal' functionality.
This problem was initially observed with SAS Financial Management 5.1 when using Microsoft Excel releases prior to Excel 2007. The problem no longer occurs if you use Excel 2007 or a more current release.
If you continue to use Excel 2003 or earlier with SAS Financial Management release 5.x, the following workaround enables you to open Excel files in a New Application Instance.
