Random Excel documents opening

Hi all,
One of our P.O.'s library is opening incorrect documents in Excel. The users are going to their library, and opening a document (happens with a document reference from their personal folders as well), but it's not the correct document. There is not rhyme or reason as to which document it selects to open.
I've tried running library maintenance tools, but that didn't help any.
Any ideas as to why this is happening, and/or what I can do to resolve this?
Thanks,
Eddie

  • How do I stop my excel documents opening up in ITunes

    My Excel and Word documents are opening automatically In iTunes when I open my Windows Vista laptop. Infact all my documents seem to be quickly transferring themselves into iTunes, so I cant open them at all. H. When I open an Excel Document that has been emailed to me in Microsoft Outook it can only now be opened in iTunes. Any help will be really appreciated

    Turning your laptop off and starting it again is the equivalent of a reboot but this takes two separate actions whereas a restart/reboot can be performed in one action. But back to your main problem.
    When you refer to your Inbox I presume you are talking about the Inbox in Mail app on your iPad.
    I think what you are trying to tell us is that you cannot open certain files on your iPad that have been synced or emailed to it. If this is correct then you need to have a compatible app on your iPad.
    However, the undermentioned list of file attachments [courtesy of Demo, another participart] are VIEWABLE in the Mail programme as standard but if you want to save and work on them then a compatible app must be installed-
    Viewable document types: .jpg, .tiff, .gif (images); .doc and .docx (Microsoft Word); .htm and .html (web pages); .key (Keynote); .numbers (Numbers); .pages (Pages); .pdf (Preview and Adobe Acrobat); .ppt and .pptx (Microsoft PowerPoint); .txt (text); .rtf (rich text format); .vcf (contact information); .xls and .xlsx (Microsoft Excel)
    If the file is not one of these file types, you will need an app in order to open and view them - i.e. - .wmv files ...
    Are we on the right lines?

  • "An error occurred sending the command to the application" When trying to open excel document from outlook 2007

    Error message "An error occurred sending the command to the application" When trying to open excel document from outlook 2007.
    OS: Windows Server 2008 R2
    If I save the document then it opens fine, messing with default file associations does not resolve this problem, I've googled for ir it and some suggest unticking compatibility mode or "run as admin" for excel application, neither is selected in my case.
    Outlook is configured to run as remote application from remoteApp server, this error is only occurring for one user, for others excel documents open just fine.

    Hi
    Thank you for using
    Microsoft Office for IT Professionals Forums.
    From your description, we can Create a trusted location follow these steps
    Click the Microsoft Office Button , and then click Excel Options.
    Click Trust Center, click Trust Center Settings, and then click
    Trusted Locations.
    If you want to create a trusted location that is not local to your computer, select the Allow trusted locations on my network (not recommended) check
    box.
    Click Add new location.
     IMPORTANT   We recommended that you don't make your entire
    Documents or My Documents folder a trusted location. Doing so creates a larger target for a hacker to potentially exploit and increases your security risk. Create a subfolder within Documents or My Documents, and make only that folder a trusted location.
    In the Path box, type the name of the folder that you want to use as a trusted location, or click Browse to
    locate the folder.
    If you want to include subfolders as trusted locations, select the
    Subfolders of this location are also trusted check box.
    In the Description box, type what you want to describe the purpose of the trusted location.
    Click OK.
    More detailed information you can refer to this link:

    Please take your time to try the suggestions and let me know the results at your earliest convenience. If anything is unclear or if there is anything

  • Multiple Instances of the Same Excel Document in 'Alt-Tab' List

    So I am having a very weird problem, and I can't seem to find an answer anywhere. I was recently given a new laptop at work with Windows 7 and Office 2010. It has worked pretty well so far, but recently I have been noticing something very strange. While
    this problem is quite small, due to how I use windows and my habits of alt-tabbing between multiple documents throughout the day, it is causing a serious problem.
    This typically only happens when I have multiple excel documents open, and am tabbing between them or other documents or windows. For example, I have ClientList.xlsx open and need to cut and paste a cell from it to FinalReview.xlsx. I have 'ClientList' open
    and just clicked Control+C to copy a cell. I click on 'Alt-tab' and while the icon in the alt tab list appears to change, I am taken immediately back to the same document. What is happening is that there are actually two separate copies of 'ClientList'
    in my alt tab list. If I press and hold 'Alt' and then hit 'tab' twice, I can pull up the other excel file, 'FinalReview'.
    At any point in time, I can click on the 'Alt' button to see the list and see three Excel icons. There will be one large excel icon with the name 'Microsoft Excel - ClientList.xlsx', and then right next to it will be two smaller looking excel icons with
    the names 'ClientList.xlsx' and 'FinalReview.xlsx' respectively.
    Has anyone seen anything like this before? I have spend hours searching for a resolution on the internet, as well as calling my work's tech support line and have not found anything remotely close to this as even being an issue.
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Hi,
    First, I would like to verify whether this issue only occurred with Excel? Have you checked the Excel settings? You can perform a
    system restore to see how it works.
    In addition, I suggest you try the following:
    1. Test the issue in Clean Boot and
    Safe Mode
    2. Create a new user to test if this issue still exists.
    Thanks,

    Mate, did you even bother to read the question? To mark your response as the answer is a complete load of garbage - you haven't even bothered to respond to the actual question. The correct answer is below from B.W._.

  • Excel service and OWA - getting ERROR while trying to open/edit Excel documents

    Hi All,
    We have configured SharePoint 2013 with Excel Service and OWA (Office Web Apps).
    After configuring, we are able to view/edit Word or PowerPoint documents from the browser (as OWA is configured). But we are getting errors while trying to open/edit Excel documents.
    We are not able to view/edit the excel workbook from the browser (through OWA).
    To open the excel in the browser, decision has to be taken at the farm level on what to be used – Excel Service or OWA Server? Is it possible to do setting at site collection level?

  • MS Excel document as attachment to a PDF document does not open with a hot spot/link in the PDF

    Hi, I have attached an excel file to a pdf document. I need to open this document in a new window by clicking an icon/hotspot in the pdf document to which it it attached.
    I am using the Link Tool to create a hot spot around the icon in the pdf. In the next window I am using the Go to Page view option, opening the attachment to its first page and clicking the "set link" button.
    For some reason, clicking the hotspot does not open the excel document as it does another pdf document.
    Need help resolving this issue with attached documents.

    Select a particular download file. Press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window.  In the Open With section choose the desired default application from the dropdown menu then click on the Change All button.
    For .dmg files use DiskImageMounter (System/Library/CoreServices/ folder.)
    For .zip files use Archiver - same folder as above - or download TheArchiver - MacUpdate or CNET Downloads.

    Hi ...
    Checked to see how much free space there is on the startup disk lately?
    Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon. Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. Make sure there's a minimum of 15% free disk space.
    Freeing Up Hard Disk Space - Mac GuidesFreeing Up Hard Disk Space - Mac Guides
    If disk space is not the issue, booting in Safe Mode deletes system caches that may help.
    A Safe Mode boot takes longer then a normal boot so be patient.
    Once you see the Desktop, click the Apple menu icon top left corner of the screen.
    From the drop down menu click Restart.
    See if that makes a difference ...

    According to the description, you got an error when you open the document form SharePoint site.
    Based on my understanding, this issue maybe relative to the SharePoint, I would like move it to

    Hello,
    I assume that you have Excel installed in your computer.
    So, I think that this error is a problem with your Internet Explorer configuration. 
    Try to open them with IE 32 bits.
    Hope this helps.

    winmail.dat files usually mean the email has been sent in rich text format - you could either the person who sent it to send it in a different format e.g. plain text or HTML, or there are a few apps in the store that support it (search for winmail.date in the store).

  • Opening an Excel document using I_OI_DOCUMENT_PROXY

    Hi,
    I'm currently opening an Excel document using the OPEN_DOCUMENT method of the I_OI_DOCUMENT_PROXY interface. A macro is then run to populate specified columns in the spreadsheet and then proceeds with printing the document.
    Within Excel, we've set Application.ScreenUpdating = False, which hides the document from the user. When launching the document directly from the local drive (not from SAP), it doesn't get displayed.
    However, calling it from SAP seems to bring up Excel, and it shows the processing of the macro as well as the automatic printing and only then will Excel close.
    My question is, is there anyway we'd be able to run the Excel macro and print the spreadsheet without Excel ever opening at all?
    Thanks and regards,
    Adeline.

  • Link to Excel document in site throws "Document with same name already open"

    
    I have an Excel document stored in a document library in SP2010.  I provided a link to the document in a CEWP on a page.  When clicking the link on the page, Excel throws the erorr "Two documents with the same name cannot be opened" error. 
    When clicking the link in the document library, the Excel workbook opens fine.  When hovering over both links, the URL in the status bar is identical.  Here is the link in the page:

    Hi jd_hancock,
    The scenario is not reproduced in my environment.
    I used Fiddler to check whether there are differences between them to download the file, it seems the same and the file also successfully opened in the Content Editor Web Part.
    I would suggest you to use the same way to check whether the download process is the same, also, type the url directly in the address bar, whether the document can be opened as expected?
