You were logged on to Windows Vista™ using a domain account and tried to open an iPart or iAssembly table in Microsoft® Excel from Autodesk® Inventor™, but Excel did not start. However, when you ran the Windows session as a local user, Excel did start.

For more information on this issue, including potential causes, workarounds, and resolutions, see: AutoDesk Knowledge Base Article TS1087307.

Consider the following scenario:

• You have the 2007 Microsoft Office system installed on a computer that is running the Korean or Japanese version of Windows Vista.
• You try to insert a chart in a 2007 Office document. For example, you try to do this in a Microsoft Office Word 2007 document.

In this scenario, Microsoft Office Excel 2007 starts automatically. When you exit Excel 2007 and return to the original program, the Input Method Editor (IME) language bar disappears. Therefore, you cannot input anything other than English-language characters.

On a Windows Vista-based computer, you open a remote shared folder in Windows Explorer that uses the Details view and for which the Preview Pane layout is enabled. When you try to open a Microsoft Office Excel 2007 Workbook from the remote shared folder, you may receive the following message:
File in Use file_name is locked for editing by user_name
However, in this case, no other user is using this document.

Note: This problem also occurs when you try to open other shared 2007 Office documents. Different users cannot exclusively edit such shared documents.

Consider the following scenario. You try to save a Microsoft Office Excel 2007 workbook to a document library on a Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services site. The workbook is not saved as expected. If you make a change in the workbook and then try the save it again, the workbook appears to save as expected. The file name that you specified appears in the title bar of the workbook. However, when you exit Excel, you are not prompted to save the changes to the workbook. In this scenario, the workbook is not saved, and the contents of the workbook are lost.
