When the XML Publisher creates the Excel output file with fields having leading Zero, when the output file is opened in the Excel Format The leading zeros in the will be automatically lost by the Excel. Excel treat the number in character format as number, we need force excel to treat this value as character and not as numeric value. In my case the tag  01007926 When opening in Excel Format, all i can see is 1007926 . During XML template design, Instead of the using the tag  use      = " < ? XX_INVOICE_NUM ? > " Please remove spaces. They are only there for the purpose of posting in this blog It wraps the value with double quotes. Now Excel treat value as character and doesn't trim the leading zeroes of value. I found the solution from this link  http://peoplesoftlearnings.blogspot.com/2010/04/how-to-avoid-trimming-of-leading-zeros.html

We have to use f60gen for compiling forms and libraries in Oracle Applications Version 11i. Some places you need to put the custom form (fmb) under $AU_TOP/forms/US. In some places i have seen the form(fmb) under source code directories. Either is the the case, you need to compile the fmb and place the fmx in the appropriate directory Step 1: Login to application server Step 2:  Go to the directory $AU_TOP/forms/US                      --> Place “.fmb” file in binary mode Step3:  Execute the “f60gen” command to generate “.fmx”.  Syntax: f60gen module=.fmb userid=apps/ output_file=.fmx module_type=form batch=no compile_all=special Sample Syntax:  f60gen module=$AU_TOP/forms/US/XXCUSTOM.fmb userid=apps/appspassword output_file=$CUSTOM_TOP/forms/US/XXCUSTOM.fmx module_type=form  batch=no compile_all=special

Recently i faced an issue where my BI Publisher add-in for MS Word 2010 was not working. Somehow the add-in was disabled. This is what i did to enable it. File --> Options --> Add-Ins --> Go to the Bottom  and click on options for Manage In the list click on Disabled Items , Click Go Select the BI Publisher Add-in and click enable. This did it for me. There are different solutions for each version of MS word. If i get to work on latest MS Word versions, i will update this post. This is only for MS Word 2010.
