I've been using JChem for Office for the past couple of months. This morning, the JChem Excel add-in started crashing Excel. Other JChem for Office add-ins are working well. I tried uninstalling and re-installing the software to the latest version without success. Repairing the Excel installation also didnt work. There was a Microsoft Windows security update (KB3081455) that was applied today / last night. I uninstalled it, but the problem persists. The current versions  of the software are:


Excel: 15.0.4753.1002


JChem for Excel: 15.8.3100.2859


Does anyone have any suggestions?

We work on the solution, so it will hopefully be released soon.

Upgraded to JC4XL 15.10.1200.283 on Excel 2013 32bit and I'm also experiencing stability issues.  I get 10 minutes of use before Excel crashes.  I'm working on a file with 309 molecules.

Hi Matt,


Do you use Windows 10? What is the issue you experienced?

Windows 7 64bit.  Excel 2013 crashes.  I did find a work around for this problem by turning off the structure display, so I suspect it is something related to drawing of the structures as I scroll down.

Hi Matt,


Could you, please, send us a few more details about the steps of your workflow? Or is it possible to send us the file you are working with (if it doesn't contain confidential data)?


BTW, we have a known issue with dialog handling, please check if setting the following option from False to True could help:


General/Structure Drawing/Structure Drawing Behaviour - Excel Dialogs


Hope this helps, but let me know, if the issue still exists.


Thank you,


Anna
