Working offline

Basic or Anonymous Authentication Only

To work offline, click Work Offline from the Login dialog box. You do not need to specify a user name and password.

If you click Cancel or exit the dialog box without using Work Offline, you can still work offline successfully; however, you will be prompted to sign in whenever you change tabs on the task panes.

When working offline, the message <not connected> is displayed in the Data source field on the Dataset tab.

To return to online work, first save and exit the workbook. Then reopen the workbook, specify the user name and password, and click OK.
