Hi, 
A question, while running my code (that will eventually print excelfile(s) ))  and I'm working on another excelfile, just a random one and then my code enter data in my excelfile from that code, that makes no sense at all. For security reason I blur words out but you get the point? The file didn't have the name XXXX_2_1 and all the numbers you see here in the matrix and from row 378 and below comes from the code SOMEHOW? And when it's continue to run

Some possibilities come to mind:

You have some how enabled an ODBC link in Excel that is looking for data from SAS

Office extension to SAS

VB code in your Excel that is finding an extraneous data source

 

If you aren't willing to share any actual examples then I suggest that you contact SAS tech support.

I know that question would pop up, but unfortunally I can't share it. But in general, how is this possible? What could be the problem? Never ever have I seen this before. Is this a common thing?
