Any suggestions would be great

John, post your question to the excel connector discussion board. There is an active community there answering questions like this one.

I have successfully insert 50 new leads but now can't insert any more. I am getting an error-
Salesforce: Create()
invalid Range, Missin data type, or other error,
type is: Lead
Value too large max length:20 Your Length :22

Any suggestions?

Hi,

Can anyone use excel connector. Can I limit who used it?

error generated by request
API is not enabled for this organizatio or Partner
ExceptionCode : 5069

Value too large max length:20 Your Length :22

This indicates that one of the fields you have defined is only 20 chars long, however the data you are sending is 22 chars long

API is not enabled for this organizatio or Partner

This indicates that the org has no API access and you must use the Professional Edition version of the excel connector rather than the Enterprise Edition.

at the moment you cannot limit who can use the connector within your org, if the user has access to the API , they can use it.

Soon there will be a comercial version that will allow read only access, see ForceAmp.com

The link to http://blogs.salesforce.com/features/files/how_to_load_data_into_salesforce.pdf
"How to upload Data using the Excel Connector" seems to point to a corrupt or empty PDF dcoutmn

That PDF document opened fine for me

Hi
I am getting an error when trying to use sforce_connect.xla.
The error message is:
sforce_connect1.xls could not be found. Check the spelling and filename and verify the location is correct.
The file is in my add- in folder.
I am not sure why the error message calls it sforce_connect *1*.xls, because the file is not called this in my folder. I was able to use it the other day.

I need to import activity data (call date & call notes) from Excel
into SalesForce (Professional Edition) to update existing account.
Any thoughts??

Thks,

Attempting to view the code in the Microsoft Visual Basic
editor (via alt-F11) I was prompted for a password. What is the
password?

I have salesforce professional and am using Excel Sforce connector. I have tried loggin in to the visual basic code as instructed in the instructions by pressing alt F11. This works but when I try to view the sforce_connector code it prompts for a sforce_connector password. I have tried using my salesforce password but that doesnt work. What is the password I should be using.

Same as above....

I have been told that the excel connector can be used to import data into the team edition however I don't see a download for that edition. Customer support assured me it is possible but they don't "support" the connector and have no more information for me. Any information would be most appriciated.

I just learned about the mass update capability for the professional edition (the self proclaimed "gold standard" btw) and am still very much pissed at the fact that we have to scramble to get a workaround working for a basic functionality which is pretty obviously missing in salesforce.

I would like to know who long it will take until the mass update capability is embedded in salesforce without us having to spend precious time getting your unprofessional "Professional Editon" to work?
