Why has Census broken Excel?
Census is innocent. The guilty party is the R(D)COM server – version 2.50 installs a broken plugin into Microsoft Excel and prevents it from loading cleanly(“Compile error: Can’t find object or library”), most often when trying to open a spreadsheet file by double-clicking it. To solve the problem, make sure you use 2.50 PL1, or, if it has already happened to you, do the following: start Excel from its shortcut in the Start menu, choose Tools -> Add-ins from the menu bar, and deselect RExcel. If this doesn’t work for you, or you are experiencing other issues, please contact me.From version 1.1 of Census onward, R(D)COM is no longer used and this issue will go away.
