Is it possible to link a .dra file directly to an Excel 2010 .xlsx file? I can save the file as an Excel 2003 .xls compatible file but this brings up a pop up window behind the map which appears to lock my computer until I minimise the map. This gets very irritating.
Richard, I don't think you can link to .xlsx When you save the excel file (from excel) as .xls a pop up window asks 'check compatibility when saving this workbook' - You need to un tick the box as this is what crashes MM. Once you have done this there shouldn't be any more problems.
Thanks Matthew - I'll try that. It is a shame we can't link directly to current versions of Excel. Has development of MapMaker ceased? It should not be too difficult to create a link to xlsx files from within the programme.
I am sure the development of MapMaker has not stopped. Like the fabled ‘Stig’ from TopGear: "...rumour has it the developer never sleeps....". A while ago there was already talk of a new version on the forum so I am sure we will soon have this option as well in MM Pro!
