Ran into a problem while trying to use HAT (Health
and Activity Tracking) on a new box today. Every time I started it, I was faced with
a long delay, and when I try to execute the HAT query, I would get an error complaining
that ‘ActivateView.ColumnAxis’ is null or not an object.
Turning to Google for help, I eventually found that this occurs when the XP Office
Web Components aren’t installed. Read that carefully: XP Office Web Components.
I had accidentally installed the Office 2003 Web Components and HAT couldn’t (or wouldn’t) make
use of those.
You can get the OfficeXP Web Components here.
