User cancelled action while placing excel file

Hi all,

First of all, I thought I post this message but don't see it appearing. I am guessing something went wrong in the process so please all my apologies if my post ends up duplicated. So, just in case, it was never sent…:P

I get this warning quite often when my script tries to place an Excel document inside a textFrame. One on two is ok, one on two isn't :

"user cancelled this action".

I do place excel like myInsertionPoint.place ( myXLSXFile, false );

I have played with ExcelImportPreferences with no luck. I also have seen people with similar troubles but with no solutions. has any of you a clue of what's going wrong

Any ideas ?

Thanks in advance,

Loic

That's a possibility. I installed a few plugins and one of them may mess things up.

Thanks for the hint.

Hi Loic,

are there any startup scripts running that are listening for beforePlace or afterPlace events?
