I have a bunch of macros that I use to export information from SolidWorks.  The last time I used these macros was early March.  I am trying to export information again and my macros are not behaving the same way.  I am using Solidworks 2102 SP5.  The two issues:

1) In all of my macros I have a Windows Folder Dialog Box open up asking me to select an output file.  The VBA language is straight forward:

Filter = "Excel File (*.xls; *.xlsx)|*.xls;*.xlsx"

FullFileName = swApp.GetOpenFileName("Excel File ", "", Filter, fileOptions, fileConfig, fileDispName)

Recently, if I include the word "Excel" at the beginning when the window pops up I get a lot of other file filter options (the pull down in the bottom right hand corner) and most of them are random characters or Asian characters.  If I get rid of the word "Excel", the pull down only had one option and that is "File (*.xls; *.xlsx)".

What would cause this? 

2)  One of my macros would export CAD to parasolid files.  In the parasolid file only the solid geometry was being exported.  Now, if there is a composite curve, that is being exported along with the solid geometry.  This did not happen a month ago and the macro has not been updated since then. What would cause this?

I have noticed both of these things happening together, but they might be unrelated.   I have recently upgraded my machine to IE 10 and there was a HotFix from Windows for Daylight Savings time.  Both these issues exist on another machine that was updated the same way.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
