| 1) Problem: The Paymee menu does not show in Excel or I get a '...Project Load Error...' message when I try to open a Paymee project.
|
|
|
| For Excel 2000 (v9) through Excel 2003 (v11):
|
| 4Security settings under the Excel menu -> Tools -> Macro -> Security... -> Security Level tab are set to Medium.
|
| 4Security settings under the Excel menu -> Tools -> Macro -> Security... -> Trusted Sources both options are checked.
|
|
|
| For Excel 2007 (v12):
|
| Refer to security setting found under Office Button -> 'Excel Options' -> 'Trust Center' -> Click 'Trust Center Settings' -> 'Macro Settings' tab:
|
| 4Be sure "Trust access.." is checked & that "Disable all macros except digitally signed macros" -or- "Enable all macros" is checked.
|
|
|
| This can also occurs if Paymee is either not installed, not installed properly or parts of the Paymee program have been moved or deleted. If Paymee has not been installed please install. Paymee can be downloaded for free from http://www.paymee.com.
|
|
|
| If Paymee has been installed try manually registering Paymee with Excel.
|
|
|
| 2) Problem: Excel is unstable, crashes or does not seem to work correctly when a Paymee project is opened.
|
|
|
| 4Make sure you have the latest Microsoft Serial Release / Service Packs for Excel. Within the same 'version' numerous updates to Excel have been released by Microsoft to fix 'bugs' found in early releases of each version. These updates are strongly recommended.
|
|
|
| 4If you are running Excel 2007 & have Symantec Norton AntiVirus: Be aware there are know issues with Norton AntiVirus & locked Excel Addins such as Paymee. See here for info on updating Norton or disabling scanning of Excel files.
|
|
|
| 4You may have opened a Paymee project file in a version of Paymee older than that which the project file was created with. Make sure you are running the latest Paymee version. Refer to http://www.paymentapplication.com/paymee.htm for the latest Paymee version. If there is a newer version of Paymee available, you should un-install the current version & install the newer version. Note if you purchased a Paymee version 3 license, you do not need to re-enter you license code after uninstalling & installing a newer version of Paymee so long as the newer version is version 3.x. Where x is any number. We only require a new license (and new code) if we release a major version for which we will increment the version number from 3.x to 4.x.
|
|
|
| 4In general be sure you are running the latest release of Paymee. Newer releases of Paymee may have bug fixes discovered in older versions of Paymee. See previous item above for more info on checking your Paymee version. Note for privacy reasons we do not send out email notifications if a newer version of Paymee is released with bug fixes (some customers may consider this spamming), unless a serious bug or flaw is discovered.
|
|
|
| 4If you are running or have just installed Google Desktop or Google toolbar: Be aware there are know issues with Google software & Excel Addins. Google software indexes in-use files & interacts with Excel upon loading files. This has resulted in Excel crashing in some cases. If you experience issues, re-install Paymee. If the issue persists & you have tried everything else on this list, then consider UNinstalling Google. Google Desktop & Toolbar also contains mild spyware that tracks & reports back user trends. This in turn slows down PC performance.

|
|
|
| 3) Problem: The program won't let me enter Contract Summary data.
|
|
|
| Contract Summary data is calculated automatically off of totals in the 'Detail' sheet. Therefore to edit the summary, simply edit the data on the detail sheet.
|
| If you intend to only use the 'Summary' page then just lump everything into one line item on the Detail page so that the Summary page populates.
|
|
|
| 4) Problem: I can open a Paymee file, but Paymee does not run & the Paymee menu does not appear.
|
|
|
| You may be opening an exported Paymee file. Exported files loose all Paymee functionality & are treated as regular Excel files. Exported files will be missing sheet buttons, so if the Summary sheet does not show '+'/'-' distribution buttons on the bottom left, then you are opening an exported Paymee file.
|
|
|
| 5) Problem: Paymee starts to load then I receive an error message.
|
|
|
| Make sure you have sufficient systems resources. Try re-installing Paymee. If the problem still persists, there may be a conflict with Paymee & anther Excel Add-Ins on your systems. Try creating a Paymee desktop shortcut to open just Paymee. If the problem still persists contact support.
|
|
|
| 6) Problem: I loose some toolbars when I open Paymee or I cannot access some Excel features.
|
|
|
| There is nothing wrong as this per design when a Paymee project is active. Paymee purposely hides toolbars & disables Excel features that are not applicable or permitted in Paymee Projects. For example, you cannot change the font of a Paymee project (unless you Export it, see Project menu) therefore the Format Cells menu is disabled & the formatting toolbar is hidden. Upon exiting Paymee all Excel features are restored. If this does not happen, open & close the file called ResetExcel.xls which is located in the Paymee installation directory (C:\Program Files\Sapro Systems PaymeeV2\ by default).
|
|
|
| 7) Problem: Paymee won't let me edit the heading fields on the Detail Sheet.
|
|
|
| The headings in the Detail Sheet is not directly editable... they are linked to the headings on the Summary Sheet. Therefore to edit the headings on the detail sheet, simply enter the appropriate heading on the Summary Sheet.
|
|
|
| 8) Problem: Upon saving a paymee project in Excel 2007 I get the following message: "This document is both encrypted and password protected. The Office Open XML formats available in the 2007 release provide stronger encryption. Do you want to increase the security of this document by converting to an Office Open XML format?"
|
|
|
| This is the standard Excel 2007 message when saving files (even Paymee files) created in a older Excel versions. We recommend selecting 'No' as otherwise the project file may no longer open in older versions of Excel.
|
|
|
| 9) Problem: Excel asks for a password upon closing Excel.
|
|
|
| This error may be caused by Google Desktop or Google toolbar. This error is harmless, but yes it is annoying. This error is not specific to Paymee, but rather a Google bug that effects any Excel Addin. For more information & for a work around see: http://www.add-ins.com/password_problem.htm
|
|
|
|
|
| 10) Problem: I receive a message saying: No Return() or Halt() function found on macro sheet.
|
|
|
| This error message is caused by Excel's AutoSave Add-In. AutoSave has some know bugs & does not work with Paymee projects. This message is harmless. Note that AutoSave will NOT save Paymee projects. To disable AutoSave & stop the message from appearing again, from the Excel menu select Tools -> Add-Ins, then un-check AutoSave.
