ANSWER ID:9237

AccountRight uses the OfficeLink connection to send information to Microsoft Word and Excel. There's a few things that can affect this connection and cause an OfficeLink error, such as "oleut32.dll out of date".

Which Microsoft Office versions work with AccountRight v19? See the system requirements.

OfficeLink errors can be caused by:

  • Not having Microsoft Office installed before AccountRight is installed. If your computer's hard drive is partitioned, make sure that both AccountRight and Microsoft Office are installed on the same partition.
  • Having Microsoft Word or Excel open when AccountRight tries to send the information
  • Missing or damaged OfficeLink files
  • Missing or damaged Microsoft Office files
  • A Windows corruption that prevents AccountRight from passing information to Microsoft Office

The tasks below will help fix this issue. Perform each task in order until your issue is fixed.

 

1. Register the OfficeLink drivers

OfficeLink drivers are "registered" in Windows each time your computer is started. If this registration fails, OfficeLink won't work.

To correct this:

  1. Simultaneously press the Windows Image and E keys on your keyboard (the Windows Image key is between the CTRL and ALT keys). The File Explorer or Windows Explorer window appears.

  2. Navigate to your AccountRight program folder. The table below shows the default location for your software. If you installed your software in a different location, navigate there instead.

    C:\PremierClassic

    AccountRight Enterprise

    C:\Enterprise19
    C:\EnterpriseClassic
  3. In your AccountRight installation folder, locate the file called drvxl32.exe. Right-click this file and choose Run as administrator. If prompted for the administrator username and password, enter these.
