Install update for Stock Analysis Tools and Spreadsheets

Holding Rationale for MHH.

0

With the increasing popularity of the free stock analysis tools as well as the premium stock analysis spreadsheets, helping people troubleshoot and install the stock spreadsheets is beginning to take up more and more time.

So with all future updates, I have now changed the SMF Add-in location from “C:\program files\SMF Add-in” to “C:\SMF”

I have had instances where people

use non english windows which messes up the location
use _ instead of -
installed under D: instead of C:
forgot the space between SMF and Add
unzip to another folder within the SMF Add-in
etc etc

For those of you well familiar with excel, there is no harm in moving the add in to C:\SMF and then re-pointing the add-in from excel.

If you are uncomfortable with the whole process, you can wait for the next update.

If you do decide to go ahead, follow the instructions in the latest revised installation manual which includes a new step by step section on how to update links.

Important Point

If you move the add-in to C:\SMF and then get the update links box but the “Change Source” button is grayed out, make sure you close the prompt and unprotect all the worksheets first. If a worksheet is locked, then excel won’t allow you to update links.

Or like I said, just wait for the next release which should be easier.
