I noticed today that Microsoft released a hotfix in February in part to fix: "You select the AutorePublish every time this workbook is saved check box in the Publish as Web Page dialog box. However, when you save the Excel workbook, only the active sheet is published." Here is a the link to the patch. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/966310/ I have run into a few people with issues publishing when they are in a different active sheet.

That's a generic error that can occur due to a number of issues. Other than making sure all patches are up to date, I would not know how to go about fixing that.

Is the Enterprise version required? I have created a Doc Library and turned off versioning and Check-In/Out. The error is "Microsoft Office Excel has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." Any ideas? I can not get this to work for me. Is the Enterprise version required? I have created a Doc Library and turned off versioning and Check-In/Out.

I was able to very easily create some nice charts that our team is very excited about leveraging. I did run into one issue while implementing this. I was using autopublish and was trying to save my charts to a Document Library that had "checkout required" turned on. When I saved the Excel spreadsheet, I got an error saying that it could not access the published web pages. I ended up creating a new Document Library that did not require checkout and pointing my published web page charts there. Once I did that, I had no further issues with the autopublish. Hopefully this will save anyone else who runs into this issue some time! This is a great post. I was able to very easily create some nice charts that our team is very excited about leveraging.

I had to make some modifications, probably to work around specific settings at my organization, but I put a couple charts on a site and they look great! Sandy, I have the same issue because browsing freestyle through the network to find my site would take forever. I save a shortcut to my document libraries on my desktop by using the Open in Windows Explorer option in the document library and then saving a link to the folder onto my desktop. Then when use the browse option when saving I just navigate to the desktop and choose the library that I want to save to. I don't think I would have to use this work around if I had Office 07 instead of using Office 03 with SharePoint 07. This was an awesome article!

In the Publish dialogue box there is a Browse feature next to File name:. Otherwise you may be able to choose initially when you do your Save As. If you can save an Excel workbook to a document library, then you should be able to do this the same way.

That may very well be true for the initial Publishing, but I do not appear to have to do that for Republishing. I set up a workbook where I publish separate charts on 7 different sheets and have not had any issues with it so far.

I had been part-way there with saving a snip of my chart to a file and viewing it with a PVWP, but the AutoRepublish is definitely better. However, I can't see how to choose a Doc Library to publish the chart to within the Excel dialog - I ended up having to save it as an htm file on the server, though the PVWP can still access it (but I know it's better to have it stored in SharePoint).
