Having an issue with Excel add-in with QC11. It was working fine last week but now this week, when I highlight my data, and then try to export by clicking the Export to QC, Excel closes.

I tried an older test case that I exported a couple of weeks ago without issue, and same problem. Uninstall and reinstall of add-in made no difference.

Hello,

In my experience, this type of issue with the Excel add-in is due to something having been updated with a patch or update. Most often antivirus software is the culprit, but a Microsoft Office patch/update could also be at fault.

Check the history on your machine to see what updates has occurred since you last knew it was working. If you use a corporate workstation machine, check with your IT department to see if anything was patched over the weekend.

If antivirus was updated, could try to remove last patch/update or you might have to go and edit its settings to stop any blocking or preventing the outbound communication with Quality Center.

As an example, I dealt with an issue with McAfee DLP (Data Loss Prevention) which with a patch turned off some ports, one of which was used by QC communication. Removing the patch stopped the issue.

We did indeed it seems get our antivirus (McAfee too btw) patched over the weekend. I will see about any settings for it, but worse case will get that patch removed if I need to. Thank!
