'Attempted to read or write protected memory' when saving modified form layout

Troubleshooting


Problem

User clicks 'Maintain - Form structure - Define'. User selects a form (for example 'FDF_1000'). User clicks the 'send to Excel' button, in order to modify the layout. Microsoft Excel now opens, displays the form to the user. User makes a small change (for example, changes the height of one of the cell rows). User clicks the 'save' button. User receives an error message.
