'Save Data' button greyed out (inactive) caused by non-Controller COM Add-in

Troubleshooting


Problem

User launches Controller, and clicks "Company - Data Entry - Reported Values". User chooses the parameters for the data entry form, and clicks 'open'. Microsoft Excel appears, and the Data Entry form is ready for use. User types a value into a cell, and tries to save it. Unfortunately the menu item 'Save Data' is inactive (grey).

Symptom

The icon 'Save Data' is impossible to click on (grey):
