  1. Program crashes with Excel 2007

    Hi,

    This is a note to readers interested in trying the StatiGen application. We have found that the program is stable in Excel 97-2003 (at least in our hands). However, StatiGen crashes when run on a computer with Excel 2007 installed (during creation of the master data table). Statigen will not read .xls files that were created and saved in 2007 format, but it will read files that were created in 2007 and saved as 97-2003 format xls files.

    Right now, my only suggested work-around is to use an earlier version of Excel or to implement the stepwise PPM protocol without the StatiGen software tool.

    As more information becomes available, I will post it. Further, I encourage other researchers who find better ways to deal with this problem to post their solutions here.
