I am trying to get this sample (Insert Excel charts using Microsoft Graph in a PowerPoint Add-in) working in PowerPoint. One of the requirement is that a specific version of PowerPoint "PowerPoint for Windows Desktop, version 16.0.6769.2001 or higher" is needed. I have Office 365 subscription (work related) and my PowerPoint version is "16.0.6001.1068". I have already checked in PowerPoint for any available update but it comes back saying my version is up to date.
The question is - how else can i get the "16.0.6769.2001" version? Any help would be appreciated.
BTW: i did go through all the other settings and instruction to setup the the sample. When i load PowerPoint and insert a chart, the add in never loads.
Cheers.
If you are using O365 from your company, the admin in your organization may choose to delay Office updates. Therefore, you may not able to get the latest Office. But you can always sign up an Office developer account for free and get the latest bits. You can sign up for free hereOffice 365 Developer Subscription. This includes the resources you need to start building apps.

I am developing Microsoft Office Add-in, I have to read the registry values of the current instance of the office in which my add-in will run.
Is there any way I can get the current office version number of add-in instance?
I have searched and found this solution. But it's is not working.
Thanks if anyone from you can help.
I have run into an error with an Access Database created in MS-Access 2003. It's known the Calendar Control was deprecated in Access 2010 but unfortunately we need to keep using it. As a temp fix (until we can change to the date picker) we restored the MSCAL.OCX file on all 2010 users.
The issue:
We have a form to print schedules from a date range (using the calendar control). There is some VBA code to check to dates etc to make sure the range is accurate etc.
Everything works fine in 2003 but in 2010 the dates get selected fine on the form, is passed to the report (a print preview) fine as it displays in the footer BUT the query ignores the date range and prints ALL records (not just the records in the date range).
Is there any way I can step into Print Preview button when clicked to see what's being passed?
Any other ideas?
The issue with the filter not being applied to the report is a known Microsoft issue with certain set ups of Windows 7 and Access 2010. The hotfix found here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2596496 solved my problem.
I run Windows 7 64 bit and Office 2010 32 bit, when downloading the hotfix I selected the "x86" platform as that's the 32 bit. If you are using Office 2010 64 bit you should download the "x64" platform.
To find out your office version, open any office product, click File Tab, click Help and it will be on the right under "About Microsoft ".
The only way you can really do that is if your report/query is running some VBA code and put a Stop on the the VBA.
If your query is referencing the fields directly (IMNSHO a bad practice, but I'll work with what we've got) you could change them so they instead reference a VBA function that returns the results of those fields instead. Then you know what it is getting for sure.
There is one more trick that surely worked out for me as a solution, before I came across the accepted answer about hotfix on this thread. Also, because, the hotfix link leads to a valid thread, but there are not downloadable files.
The workaround:
Make a copy of the report file. Use that name in VBA under DoCmd call. Strange how it works, though. Such is the nature of bugs, I guess.
I am trying to move a VBA macro code from Excel 2003 to Excel 2011.
The macro requires sending an Email from Outlook. However, when I went to Tool > References to add the Outlook Object Library, it does not show up in the List box.
How do I go about adding the reference in so i can access Outlook?
As of my knowledge Office Automation in the MAC world is somehow limited. Please see this discussion. Also this one in a Microsoft Forum..
You can add reference by using Browse option.
You just need to add reference to the file "MSOUTL.OLB"
In my system I have it in "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12\MSOUTL.OLB" , In your system it could be in different folder.
can someone please get me started on the following:
i would like to package an excel macro as an add-in to excel. the macro will reside on a central computer, where 10 other computers will connect to.
how do i create an add-in that will be constantly updated ?
According to this you can have an Add-In reside on a network share, so you wouldn't even need to bootstrap and update the code via code. Here's a quick rundown on how to create an Add-In.
I am designing a shared add-in using VB.Net 2008 and VSTO that has to fire up when any MS Office App is started. It has to work for both 2002, 2003 and 2007 applications. I have managed to put together a working add-in that pops up a test message stating the version of Office and the Application name and tested this across all the apps ok.
The next part of the solution is to code the application specific code that needs to run for document auditing and corporate protective marking as well as, for example; in Excel checking that all the Add-Ins are linked to the Network Add-Ins folder.
My approach from now was going to be to late bind against the application object and set one of my typed (e.g. Excel) application object references which exist in the code to this object.
I'm still relativly new to VSTO so if I am doing something odd please can you let me know! :)
Ta.
I have completed this project and did it the way I specified using late bindig. It works lieka dream for all office apps both XP and 2007. :) I feel like I am announcing this to myself though as I didn't recieve a single answer or comment. Maybe you should have sexed up the title a bit Mas. Yeah maybe I should.
