Excel doesn't open in portal

Hi,
by opening an excel file in the portal, there first comes a pop up window, where you can open or save the file. But when you choose the button "open", the excel file doesn't open anyway.
When I navigate to the iView a second time, nothing happens - no pop up message and unfortunately no excel file...
Does somebody know how to solve this problem?
Thanks,
Lydia

Hi,
thank you very much for your answers.
Mahesh, your answer was very helpful for another problem we had. Because we wanted to display our documents embedded in the portal area. There was a setting to exactly do that.
But our problem with the excel files is, that you can open it the first time, but when you want to open it a second time, nothing happens anymore. We found out, that the excel file is still open, although it is closed in the portal (you can see that in the task manager --> Processes). When we close it in the task manager, the excel file can be opened again without any errors.
In fact of that, we don't have any macro problems.
We also didn't generate any code. We are using an url iView to display the excel files from another sap r/3 system in portal.
There you can generate an url for each file of the sap r/3 system and put it in the url iView. This works fine with every file type we have, but not with excel.
Any other ideas to solve this problem?
Regards,
Lydia

  • Filemaker exported Excel doesn't open properly

    I've got a Filemaker database that I "Export Records" or "Save Send Records As" data in Excel format. When i open the file in Excel it is all correct, but when I open the xls file in Numbers 2.0.3 it doesn't open properly. You can see the discrepancies in these 2 screenshots.
    First the Excel file , beside it is the Numbers rendering of the same file. You can see around A:16 it goes off, again at A:25 and then some repeating at the end to fill up the row. Column B however is correct in Numbers.
    !http://rdiv.com/screenshots/FilemakerExportExcel.png! !http://rdiv.com/screenshots/FilemakerExportNumbers.png!
    The strange thing is if I save the Excel file then it opens in Numbers correctly. If I export as CSV it opens in Numbers correctly.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    jim

    Thinking it's a FMPro issue (I have posted this in the bugs forum at FM.com) I've repeated this experiment with the data records sorted differently (to see if it's any particular record that is the problem). The export still is wrong when opened in Numbers, the mistakes appear to be in the same rows, i.e., row 16, row25, etc.,

  • Excel doesn't open .txt files automatically

    Until 10 minutes ago Excel opened downloaded .txt files, now Itunes pops open when I try open the downloaded .txt file. I have no idea how idea how I did this, any help reversing this would be great.
    Thanks,
    Rush

    Hi Rush,
    What about other programs or files types? According to your description, the issue seems related with the default program or files association, please launch control panel\Default Programs\Associate a file type or protocol with a program, then scroll down
    to find .txt, make sure that its default program is Notepad.
    Or you can simply right click the txt file, then click "Openwith" choose Notepad.

  • When I click on a link within a website to open a document (word, excel etc.), Firefox doesn't open it. Even when I tell it to open in a new window, it just opens a blank tab labeled "untitled."

    When I try to click on a link to a document within a website, that document doesn't open like it should. For instance, if I go to the census website and click on a link to open an excel spreadsheet, Firefox doesn't do it. It usually does nothing; if I tell it to open in a new window or tab, it just opens a tab labeled "untitled" that ends up being a blank page.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == 2 months ago?

    Go to Tools->Options->Apps
    Here you should see two columns: Content Type on the left, Actions on the right.
    Find and select excel spreadsheet or any other content type in the left column. There should be a corresponding action in the right column. What is it? You can use the drop-down list to select the option you want:
    Always Ask - Firefox will ask each time: What do you want to do with this file?
    Save file - Firefox will save this file to your computer
    Use - Firefox will give this file to the program to open it
    In case of saving, Firefox will either prompt you every time where you want the file to be saved, or save it to the default location. It depends on the preference in

  • BEx workbook does not open from portal when excel is already opened

    Hi all,
    When I go to the portal and open a BEx workbook from there while excel is already open, then the workbook does not open.
    When I close excel and then open the BEx workbook it all works fine.
    I do not get any error: just nothing happens.
    Any idea how to solve this?
    Versions:
    BI 3.5
    Excel 2003
    ADDITIONAL INFO
    I found this only happens when excel is open with a cell in edit mode. Whenc I then open BEx from the portal I get the error 'please install suitable version'.
    Let my know if you have any advice.

    Try creating the following role in the db and assign it to your user:

  • I accidentally moved Excel to Trash, after 'put back' it still doesn't open?

    Let me clear, my Excel was working perfectly before I did this.
    I had put the excel shortcut on the desktop, and I moved it to trash because I didn't need the icon on the desktop. I tried to open Exel on the dock, but it didn't open and said that you have to remove it from trash in order to open it. So, after removal from trash (using "put back" option), I clicked on the icon on the desktop now. It didn't open. Even with the dock icon, it displayed this message:
    The error message displayed is:
    "Microsoft Excel cannot be opened because of a problem.
    Check with the developer to make sure Microsoft Excel works with this version of Mac OS X. You may need to reinstall the application. Be sure to install any available updates for the application and Mac OS X.
    This report will be sent to apple automatically."
    Community, please help and advise.
    I am using Microsoft Office 2011.

    When I try to open Iphoto is comes up saying I need to prepare this version of iphoto with an upgrader.  I have installed it many times but it still goes back to the original window telling me I need to upgrade
    But did you run the iPhoto Library Upgrader after you installed it?  The installer will install the iPhoto Library Upgrader in the folder Utilities in the Applications folder. Launch the upgrader and select your iPhoto library. After it finishes, try to run iPhoto again.  (See:  iPhoto '11: About the Library Upgrader)
    Be sure to make a backup copy of your iPhoto library, before you try to open and to upgrade it. That is safer, because in some rare cases the upgrade can corrupt the library.

  • PDF doesn't open up in IE 6.0 with Adobe Reader 8.1.2

    Hi All
    We have an app that dynamically generates PDF using FOP deployed on JBoss server running on AIX. My machine has IE 6 and Adobe Reader 8.1.2 with browser plug-in installed on Windows XP SP2.
    PDF the app generates, doesn't open up within IE using the plug-in. But as I could save the PDF file and then open it using Adobe Reader, I went ahead and unchecked the option "Display PDF in Browser" (under Adobe Reader's Edit->Preferences->Internet). Doing so, opens up the PDF automatically using Adobe Reader instance outside of the browser. Though it works, I would like to avoid having all our users change their settings.
    Another strange thing that I noticed is that when I run the app on my local machine with a windows version of JBoss, PDF opens up automatically w/o any issues in IE with Adobe plugin. But if the same code is deployed to the JBoss server on AIX it won't open in IE.
    For testing purpose, I tried installing Foxit PDF reader, making it the default and PDF opens up fine under both Windows and AIX instances of JBoss.
    Any help is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    We are also struggling with the same problem after upgrading the portal to NW04s SPS15.  It is consuming 2 to 3 min for opening the PDF form in ESS under Travel & Expenses.
    We are also with same version of Adobe i.e.8.1.2
    Still waiting for the solution,

  • Photoshop elements 12 editor doesn't open, organizer is fine. I uninstalled the program and re-installed it (restarted the computer each time)...didn't solve the problem. using pc, windows 8.1

    photoshop elements 12 editor doesn't open, organizer is fine. I uninstalled the program and re-installed it (restarted the computer each time)...didn't solve the problem. using pc, windows 8.1
    can someone help me with this issue?

    Two suggestions:  the first one is a workaround. You just have to drill down your program file tree to Adobe Photoshop Elements Organizer and find the .exe file - the one specifically for Organizer, not Elements.  Make a shortcut to that file on your desktop and it will open Organizer. The second suggestion resolved the problem altogether for me. I actually called Dell and after working with several different techs over several different days, I talked to a tech in premium support who was excellent. I discovered from them that it is actually a problem with the windows system files. I have 8.1.  I went through a "refresh" on my computer which rebuilt all the files. Then reinstalled Adobe as well as my other programs again and Photoshop Elements Organizer works from the standard desktop shortcut.
