Server URL field is disabled!

Hi,

 

I have Windows 7 and Excel 2010.  The connector is working find; however, I cannot edit the Server URL field.  I have a feeling it is Windows 7 security but I am not certain.  The application is installed in the Program Files (x86) folder which seems to be read only.

 

I tried moving the sforce_connect_pe_winter11.xla and SF_MSApi4.dll files to the desktop as a test and resetup Excel to point to the deskop files but the Server URL field was still disabled!

 

Any suggestions would be appreciated because If I cannot point to a Sandbox to get confortable with the Connector then I cannot use it production! :(

My connector (Version 16.1) on XP in Excel 2007 has that field disabled from modification as well.  Whatever it is, I'd say it's not due to Windows 7.

 

This thread a bit further down the page details how to work around this, it might work for you: http://boards.developerforce.com/t5/Excel-Connector/can-t-set-server-URL-in-Excel-connector/td-p/225865
