Minor feature request

Okay, yes, that simple popup does not bring up the other one. I will look at changing it.
Thanks, Steve

The pop-up I was getting only had the single line "Unable to determine if an update is available." and an "OK" acknowledgement button, nothing else. This is with Spreadsheet Compare installed on a MS Office 2016 client in a corporate environment. Deleting the upgrade file I mentioned didn't seem to harm functionality and it does get rid of the upgrade check/pop-up altogether, so this is a pretty minor thing. Still finding Spreadsheet Compare very useful - thanks for creating it!

Very minor feature request:

Add a user option that allows the version check to be either be supressed or completely disabled.

If there is no internet available (or it is blocked) the Spreadsheet Compare Updater check will issue an error/warning dialog box that pops up roughly 20-30 seconds every time Excel is fired up. The dialog box reads: "Unable to determine if an update is available." and it has to be manually selected and dismissed by the user.

For those in corporate environments where this version check may always be blocked, this warning always popping up and requiring dismissal each time Excel is fired up is less than ideal. :-)

I've found that removing the following files from the installed Spreadsheet Compare area (C:\Program Files\Essential Software) seems to completely eliminate this issue:
Update Program Settings.ini
Update Program.exe
Update_old.exe

However, a more elegant way to handle this perhaps would be to add an option in the pop-up version check dailog box to either delay the check for 6 months or offer a toggle to surpress it all togther going forward.

Thanks!

Hi Steve,

I tried the new update. It removed the old version of Spreadsheet Compare
and ran smoothly through the update process, never complaining about
anything. However, when I open up Excel now (I'm using Excel 2016), it
pops up with three consecutive "MicroSoft Forms" dialog error boxes with
the "!" warning triangle and a single line of text for each. They pop up
in a series one after the other as each is dismissed as follows:

First one:

Second one:

Third one:

After dismissing the 3rd one, I get the error related to the version check
not working I was experiencing before:

When I then attempt to run the Spreadsheet Compare add-in, I get this:

It seems that something needed by the Spreadsheet Compare add-on to run
properly is missing. Any ideas?

Cheers,
--John

Try the new version. The popup always appears and you can change the
recheck interval in the options tab.
