•When I tried to load the sample workbook I got a series of error messages followed by a #NAME in most of the cells. What went wrong and how can I fix this problem?

The Excel Add-in, by default, is installed in the "C:\Program Files\Derivicom\FinOptions XL" directory along with the sample workbook. If the sample workbook and Add-in were moved to separate directories, you will receive this error.

To fix it, follow the steps outlined below.

1.Unprotect each worksheet. To unprotect each, select the sheet and click Tools/Protection/Unprotect Sheet from the menu bar.

2.Click Edit\Links on the menu bar to launch the Link Editor.

3.Select Change Source and navigate to the directory where FinOptions XL is located and press OK.

•The sample workbook template is write-protected. What is the password?

The workbook is write-protected to guard against accidental modification. It is not password protected. There is no password associated with each sheet. To unprotect each sheet click Tools/Protection/Unprotect Sheet on the menu bar.
