Error description

  • When start Excel and run the automation code to refresh GO!
    Office reports then it is not working because GO! Office 11 and
    the ribbon is not open and active. The code is running but the
    report will not cleared and refreshed. This worked fine in GO!
    Office 10. With GO! Office 10 it was not required to have GO!
    Office and the ribbon open and active. But this is required
    otherwise it is not possible to create a full automation refresh
    processs on the OS, like Windows starts automatically a Excel
    file and the code will automatically refresh the data in the GO!
    Office report.
    
    When start Excel, GO! Office 11 and the ribbon manually then the
    automation code to refresh GO! Office reports is working fine.
