Excel import "process cannot access the file"

Just upgraded to 6.1.0.3. Running an existing project which begins by importing an Excel file. In prior versions, I could have the file open in Excel and EasyMorph would still import it. In this new version I'm getting "process cannot access the file". I understand if I close the file in Excel it imports without problem. But this was a very convenient feature the older version had as I could make modifications to the Excel file, save it without closing, and "Reload and run"-- sometimes repeatedly until I got the desired results in EM.

Is there any way to work around this in the new version?

Hi @dongna ,

In the new version, a number of optimizations were implemented in the Excel import driver to make the import process faster and reduce RAM/disk usage. We will look into this and see if these changes caused any undesirable effects such as those you described.

We were able to reproduce the issue. We will notify you when it is fixed and a new version is available for download.

That's great... thanks much!
