Troubleshooting
Problem
Customer would like more information on whether to use F9 or F10 to run (update) an Excel spreadsheet (for example a report).
Symptom
Typically there are two reasons for using F10 (instead of F9) to run/refresh a Controller Excel link spreadsheet report:
- Slow Performance - see Technote 1347497.
- Out Of Memory errors (for example "System.OutOfMemoryException") - see Technote 1406746.
