You cannot use the Office File Converter feature in the Office Migration Planning Manager tool to convert lots of Excel workbooks
| Article ID | : | 951340 |
| Last Review | : | April 22, 2008 |
| Revision | : | 1.1 |
SYMPTOMS
You cannot use the Microsoft Office File Converter (OFC)
feature in Office Migration Planning Manager (OMPM) to convert lots of Office
Excel workbooks. For example, you cannot convert more than 1,000 workbooks.
Additionally, the operation may incorrectly report that some Excel workbooks
cannot be converted.
Note The Office Migration Planning Manager (OMPM) is a collection of
tools that enables you to prepare for migration to the Microsoft 2007 Office
system. The Office File Converter (OFC) lets you convert files in bulk to the
new 2007 Office release file formats. You do not have to use OFC when you use
OMPM to plan for migration to the Microsoft 2007 Office system.

CAUSE
This issue is caused by a memory leak in the Excel Workbook
converter (Excelcnv.exe).

WORKAROUND
To work around this issue, use one of the following
methods.
Method 1| 1. | Use the OMPM reporting tool (Ompm.accdr) to export the list
of all Excel workbooks. |
| 2. | Run OFC on that list. |
| 3. | Use the ImportActions.bat file to import the OFC logs into
OMPM.
Note The ImportActions.bat file is included in OMPM. |
| 4. | Repeat steps 1 through 3 on all Excel workbooks that
did not convert until all the workbooks are converted. If several repetitions
cannot reduce the number of workbooks that did not convert, these remaining workbooks
probably have genuine conversion issues. |
Method 2| 1. | Use the OMPM reporting tool (Ompm.accdr) to export less than 1,000 Excel workbooks from OMPM at the same time. |
| 2. | Run OFC on the workbook lists. |
