are not currently connected to the network, then Excel
®
will most likely not be able to
access the printer driver information and Daniel MeterLink
™
cannot use Excel
®
to generate
reports or logs.
One solution is to install a local printer on your machine tied to LPT1. The local printer
driver you installed can be for any printer and the printer does not actually have to exist or
be connected to the PC. If you install a local printer, you can configure Daniel MeterLink to
temporarily change your Windows
®
default printer over to this local printer while running
Daniel MeterLink. Do this by selecting this local printer for the Override system default
printer selection in the Program Settings dialog. Daniel MeterLink will automatically
change the Windows
®
default printer to the selected override printer when it starts and
will set the Windows
®
default printer back to its original printer when it closes.
2.3.3 Maintenance logs or trend files are not created
When using Excel
®
2007 or later, some of the worksheets in the Maintenance Logs or
Trend files are not created.
If the Inspection sheet of the Maintenance Log file or the Charts sheet of a Trend files are
not generated, it is probably because Excel
®
is not configured to allow Daniel MeterLink to
run the Visual Basic
®
script that generates the page. Excel
®
can be configured to allow
Daniel MeterLink to run the Visual Basic
®
script by following the instructions below.
To enable Excel
