New Connector for PE

 

I've updated the connector for PE to allow use of the 16.0 API and office toolkit 4.0

 

All new downloads are located here : http://code.google.com/p/excel-connector/

 

The old site will redirect to the new site on code.google.com

 

Downloads:

enjoy.

:smileyvery-happy:

 

PS: connector downloads hit 100,000 earlier this year.

Thanks for the update, your help is very much appreciated!

 

I installed this on a new Windows 7 computer and received Can't Find PRoject errors.  I had to go to the file here and change the permissions that my user had full access to it.  Now it works.

Hi Ron,

 

Ive been searching everywhere for a solution to this. If I have the first and last name of a lead, how do I pull the ID so I can update these leads in mass? I see the query "sfUserId(fullname)" but I dont know where to place it to make the call to generate the ID. Thanks in advance. - Sid

Thanks, Ron, but is there any way you can update the Connector to version 18?   I'm trying to access the new "Quote" object for a custom-built Excel-based quoting tool, and it's not visible in your list of objects if I use 16 (or any number less than)

 

Thanks!

Yay! So glad this is still available for PE orgs.  

 

I was struggling with a PE org recently and realized I had the EE version installed, so I went and got the PE version of the connector.  

 

Now if you have both versions installed in Excel - you will likely get an error message saying that your PE org does not have API access, or some other such thing.

 

Well, I found that if I merely disabled the EE (Force.com) Connector by uncheckig the Add-In in Excel, that the PE (SForce) Connector worked just fine.  Probably a big fat 'duh' for some people, but I thought I would post here in case anyone else had the same issue.

 

@vnehess you rock!

 

Oh - BTW, this was on Windows 7 running on VM Ware / Excel 2007 FYI
