I get the error message "Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation" when trying to open an excel document in trados studio 2009. Can anyone tell me why and what I should do about it. Thanks in advance. Chris

Excel Version? Feb 28, 2012

Hi Chris,

What version was your file create with? How complex is your Excel file? I would try and save it as .xlsm and import it again.

HTH,

Bernard

Thanks for your help guys, think I'm going to have to uninstall and reinstall or something like that. I've been so many errors there must be some general problem. Best
