radiumsoup can't set server URL in Excel connector
I recently added a new field and need to bulk update it using the Excel connector, but it's not showing up when I get the object definition. As I understand it, it's because I need to be connecting to a newer API number, and the method to do so includes setting the server URL to a higher number... however, when I go into Options > Advanced, the server URL field is unclickable, and the checkbox to specify a default server is greyed out. Even when I try to log in, I can type in the username and password, but the "Server URL" line is greyed out, and I can't edit it.
What the heck??? :\
Make sure you're not already logged into a session (click the Force.com connector dropdown and choose "Logout Session" if it's enabled). Then go back and click "Describe Object" - the log-in prompt should appear. Now click the "Advanced" button and this should allow you to type of the URL of the server.
Already tried that - in fact, I've closed out of Excel completely and tried again, and after that failed, I even rebooted... no good :(
I had the same issue,
I got around this by setting the required values directly in the registry:
for example:
set the value HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Opensource\ServerURL
to https://www.salesforce.com/services/Soap/c/14.0
and set the value: for HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Opensource\SetServerURL to "True"
this resolved the issue for me
