Portfolio Analyzer View -(toolbar greyed out)

[Andrea]

I was wondering if anyone can help me. I am trying to create a view
in Portfolio Analyzer.

When trying to drag and drop onto the chart, it does not let me.

My facility is running a standard image on all the workstations.
Office XP and Access 2000 SR-1 are on the image.

To get it to work, I can uninstall office xp and reinstall it. Then
the toolbar won't be greyed out and you can drop fields onto it.
If I just install all office xp components on top of the previous
installation it doesn't work.
We have quite a few workstations that will need project and the web
access and I don't have the resources to go around and uninstall and
reinstall. I read somewhere on the newsgroup that it could have to do
with licensing. I know that the license I am using to re-install is
the same license that is on our image. I would appreciate it if
someone knew a quick fix, like a registry key or something. Thanks in
advance.

Andrea:

You could try upgrading the Office Web Components only on the machines, and
see if that helps. I doubt you'll get the quick answer you're looking for as
these things take time to figure out. This is particularly true when
companies are locked into a "golden" image like your company. One must take
all the modifications made to the OS and registry into account.

We ran into the same situation at my company. Reinstalling on top of an
installation or trying to trick the licensing didn't work.



Bottom line is that we have to uninstall and completely reinstall MS Office.
Luckily, we have Active Directory, so it can be pushed rather quickly
remotely without a visit to each desktop.
