Requisite: Excel 2013 or later.

Save your selections often, both in the floating window and with File>Save.

On QDV7 update, cycle this toggle.

In the QDV tab, the Settings icon features the General tab to define the user interface behavior.

Installation in ASP mode (Terminal Server, Citrix, etc)

The remote pricing stations connect to the server, using a password, through the standard utility called Remote Desk Connection (the server runs the Terminal service) or using Citrix.

The Add-Ins are added to the register base on connection.

 

Use With Two Monitors

If Excel is run on a secondary monitor, the pane might not be visible. To remediate this (with recent versions), check File>Options>General>Optimize for compatibility, then restart Excel.
