Hi,
I have the Rotation button who is active but the windows doesn’t appear. I thought that it involving a corruption of the preferences users in the registry but it makes it for any used account. I even erased all the BO keys of register in HKCU, but the problem persists.
Does anyone have an idea?
PS: I can’t easily make a new BO installation, the computer isn’t easily accessible.
Thanks,
Fandor

Fandor – the Rotation button isn’t familiar to me – maybe it isn’t translating well from French to English? What is the button supposed to do?

Do you mean rotate table under the format menu? Can you tell us exactly what you did to invoke it? What version of Business Objects are you using?

Hi,
I found the BusinessObjects traduction: it’s the Slide and Dice button, sorry for my approximative traduction.
I found a post about this but all the workarounds don’t work (clear registry or Atl+Spacebar) and the problem is for all logins, not for one specifically.
Regards,
Fandor

Fandor, I think the problem you have with the other options you’ve tried, is that those settings are probably for the main BusinessObjects window, not for the Slice-and-Dice window.
I found an old post here which led me to a topic about where in the registry to find/change the settings for where the Query Panel shows up.
I looked at the registry settings for my login and hazarded a guess that Slice-and-Dice was probably represented by the entry called “Business Analyser”. I then opened up BusinessObjects and clicked Slice-and-Dice, and moved the windows and moved it. I again looked in the registry for my login’s settings for Business Analyser, and they had changed. So, I venture to guess that you could change the settings for the following registry key to get the Slice and Dice window to “reappear”:
My Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\BusinessObjects\BusinessObjects\5.0<substitute the userid here> User Prefs\Business Analyser
The MainWindow registry key for me when I had the window high to the left of my screen looked like: 1,13,30,953,566
when I moved it lower and right: 1,206,458,1146,994
I can not venture where the default settings are – but if you can fix the one or two users who are using the machine – I hope it’ll be ok. And, I hope I found the right registry key for you.
