Re: Save Connection to XLSX
Hi Mark,
Thanks for writing in our forums.
As of the current version of MySQL for Excel, when you open an Edit Data session (meaning you select a MySQL table and click on Edit MySQL Data) and save the Excel Workbook, the connection information is stored for your user in your user's application data directory. The next time the Excel file is opened and MySQL for Excel is accessed, a prompt is shown asking if you wish to open the Edit Data sessions that were open when the file was last saved. This is as per design and have several shortcomings that we intend to address in a future version.
Right now the connection information is saved into the settings file, and it ties the Excel Workbook with the connection needed to access the MySQL table being edited, and it is stored as I explained for the current user.
This means that if another user on the same computer opens the Excel Workbook, the connection won't be automatically established. Also means if the Excel Workbook is moved to a different location, the connection won't be automatically opened either.
We intend to improve the way we save these sessions so that they are embedded within the Excel file, so if the file is moved or opened in a different computer, the connection can be established.
Best regards.
