Advanced logging

'Advanced logging' is an extensive logging option available in Macrobond. It is not active by default because it slows other Macrobond processes. This option creates additional logs with technical information not available elsewhere.

How to enable Advanced Logging?

  1. Close Excel and other Office programs.
  2. Open Macrobond and select Configuration > Settings (for MB pre-1.28: Edit > Settings), then switch to Advanced tab
  3. Check [x] Enable application logging
  4. Restart Macrobond (and Excel/PP/Word if opened)

From now Macrobond will create extra logs in your %TEMP% directory.

What's next?

  1. Try to trigger same error.
  2. Go to %TEMP% directory and get logs from there, most likely some (or all) of these three:
    • Abacus.Excel.log
    • Excel-AddIn.app.log
    • MacroBond.err.log
  3. After everything please disable Advanced logging because it slows Macrobond.

How to access %TEMP% directory?

To access %TEMP% directory please open Windows' Explorer and type in just:
%TEMP%
and press enter. It should take you to this directory:

C:\Users\[...name...]\AppData\Local\Temp

An easy way to go to the TEMP directory in Windows is to select Start|Run (Windows button + R) and the type %TEMP%
