Excel file saving issue

I have an excel file on my OSX Server. When I opening from the server window, I can modify the file and save it. If I take that file and make an alias on my dock, I can open it, modify it but O have to save it with a different filename. I have also noticed that when I open it via the alias it add a number to the end of the filename in the document header (filename1.xlsx). If I close it and open it again it increases the number by one (filename2.xlsx) and so on. I have to delete the old file to save the new file in it's place on the server. This is a relatively new problem since updating to maverick.

Need a little help with an excel issue:
One of my end users has a program that exports a file that she opens with excel and then saves it as filename.trn - She normally was able to save it with quotations around it as "filename.trn" and it would force it with this TRN file extension but the other day this stopped working. Now when she saves it as "filename.trn" it actually ends up being filename.trn.xlsx. I was able to log in with a different domain account on her computer and do this task with no problem so I'm kinda lost here. Anyone have an idea why this started behaving this way and how to fix it?

Issues while access Excel file saved on a domain.

Original title: Locked File Issue.
Hi Guys,
I am wondering if you can help.
I have a client using a Windows 7 x64 SP1 workstation who accessed files from an SBS 2011 Box [domain]
When more than 1 user accesses a document or SS it locks as expected but displays a user who does not exist or is not using the file, it happens with all files. and funnily display the correct user locking the file in file and share management!
The first thing I did was to check that each user was registered in Office as themselves and they were, the 2nd was to check the properties of the file paying attention to the author and this was also correct and showing a domain based user as the
author, I tried removing the user properties from the file and still the issue exists.
Does anybody have the answer!?
Cheers,
Kyle!

A similar issue discussed at the following article:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/the_microsoft_excel_support_team_blog/archive/2012/05/14/the-definitive-locked-file-post.aspx
In cases where the wrong user name is displayed in the file lock dialog
Sometimes where it says 'another user' it has the name of someone that didn't open the file or it has no name at all. Just a big ' ' where a name ought to be. Fear not, there is a fix for this problem. The flavor depends on whether you have Excel 2010
or Excel 2007. The below KB Articles contain hotfixes that address several issues, not just the file locked issue. But in the dialog of the article you will see this as one of the problem descriptions:

Refresh data in SWF based on excel file saved from SAP BW workbook

Hi, is there a way to get data refresh in SWF dashboard from excel file as a data source. SAP BW workbook report will be saved as an excel file daily and placed in somewhere. I would like to create a dashboard which can connect to the excel data source and refresh on load.
Appreciate your advice and help. Thank you.
I am using Xcelsius 2008 and SAP BI 7.0

Thank you.
If I understand correctly from your advice, that is I should create QaaWs to pull data from SAP BI, which will return data in tabular format. Map the data in the cell range of a hidden tab, re-arrange and format the data into the row?
Another concern: I need to display data for 4 quarters (Q1, Q2, Q3,Q4) in the dashboard, but QAAWS will only pulls data when the data is available in the database.
   Eg. Only data for 3 quarters are found in the database, QAAWS will return data for Q1, Q2,Q4.
         This will mess up the position fixed in the xcelsius. Do you have any suggestion on this?
   Sorry to bother u for the simple questions.
   Thank you.

Can't open Excel files saved to desktop, get popup "There was a problem sending command to the program".

Whenever I save an MS Excel file to my desktop, it creates an icon on the screen. But when I try to open it, I get a popup that says "There was a problem sending the command to the program."
This happens with all Excel files - but MS Word and other files work fine.
Thanks for your help.

Yes, I saw that earlier but it seems to be a temporary fix. I had the same issue return 2 weeks ago, then again yesterday. Each time, I've tried this solution which works but only to see it return at some time in the near future.
Coincidently, I have a similar issue occur on my iPhone 4S w/ iOS 6. There, my keyboard shortcuts won't work in forms unless I tick off Data and Documents iCloud setting, power down the phone, then turn it back on. But like this, it only seems to work for a temporary time and the problem resurfaces in a few days.

Excel file download issue

Hi Experts,
I am downloading an excel file which is stored at the MII server using JSP file. I am using the below code for the same. I am able to download the excel file successfully but when I open the same I get some junk value as content. I mean to say the content is not at readable format. I have tested the java code using standalone program where it worked successfully.
I tested this JSP at MII 12.2 and MII 14.0 and both provided same result. I have attached the screenshot of excel how it looks after opening
I want to know is this a problem with Netweaver web server?. I mean the way it runs JSP. Unfortunately I could not test this on another web server
Any help on this is very much appreciated.
<%
String filePath = "C:\\myfile.xls";
try
FileInputStream in = new FileInputStream(filePath);
response.setContentType("application/vnd.ms-excel");
response.addHeader("content-disposition","attachment; filename=" + filePath);
int octet;
while((octet = in.read()) != -1)
out.write(octet);
in.close();
out.close();
catch(Exception e)
out.println("Exception occured:"+e);

Thanks

Hi Christian,
Thanks for your response.
I tried that as well but same result. I get a alert message as below while opening the file.
"Excel cannot open the file Demo.xls because the file format or file extension is not valid. Verify that file has not been corrupted and that the file extension matches the format of the file"
I am trying to run the same file on another web server such as tomcat and see if the issue persist.
Thanks

Opening an Excel file saved as a BLOB in the DB

I have a table where I am storing excel content generated by another application that I want OBIEE users to be able to access via a Dashboard. Is there a method for opening the BLOB from a Dashboard?

OBIEE doesn't support BLOBs so I don't think you will to use OBIEE for this. Having said that you could develop a small Web App using the language of your choice (Java/.Net/etc) where you can pass a URL and this Web App will connect to the DB to get the BLOB and offer it as a downloadable file. An OBIEE dashboard is quite capable of generating dynamic URL links which could include your Excel file ID which should allow the custom web App to fetch the BLOB. For the users it will look almost like OBIEE is giving them the file. Hope it helps.

PDF or Excel file saved to Network folder Intermittently has "Date Modified" changed to an older date

Client saves files locally to her Win 7 64-bit laptop and they are fine when it comes to the date modifed stamp. On occasion a few of these files each day, when saved to the home directory on the server, get the Date Modified stamp changed. Time is never
the same and can be set for las tweek or - literally - 1990, 2004, 2010, etc. I have seen tech articles talking about the different options for saving the file date based on an embedded image or attachment of some type, but that has been ruled out. And this
is not the local saved file time being modified within the first minute or two of a locally copied file.
Any ideas how a file saved to a network share can randomly and intermittently have the date modified to a much older date? Have scanned for malware as well.... Thanks!

Hi
Make sure the server or nas where it's saved is sync'ed with it,s time source, and be sure it's update for the OS's patch.

Hi,
In SharePoint 2013, to develop a custom application to deal with Excel documents, Excel Web Services or Excel Services REST API is recommended.
The two documentations from MSDN will provide more information with code demos which would helpful:

Internet file saving issues

I used to be able to save files from the internet to my desktop, but am suddenly unable to do so. I have used both Safari and Firefox browsers running on Roadrunner. When I try to save email messages (usually AOL) no messages are actually saved, just a link to AOL. Sometimes web pages save, but usually not, and there does not seem to be a pattern. Even when I select to save "web complete" settings, it fails to save the accompanying folder with the content info. AOL tech say its an Apple issue. Anybody else having this problem? Any ideas? This is a feature I have relied on over the years to let me read info and mail 'offline' without having to venture back into cyberspace.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks,
Rick

File Saving Issue

All yesterday I noticed an issue that has never occurred before. Whenever I save, save as or export, I get a pop-up that says "Replace Files" and it lists the files in the directory. Then if I select replace, it replaces the file, but also saves another one with a -01 after the filename. (Example: filename.eps and filename-01.eps) Normally, I hit ctrl+s and it just saves. Now it does this replace file thing every time. Additionally, it does the same thing when I save as PDF, or export to JPEG. Is this something that I can turn off? I couldn't find it in preferences or anything. I've attached a pic of the message.
Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

Which version of Illustrator are you using? Seems like I remember something like this, but it was back in version 8-10 or so. It's been a long time, so I can't remember what the cause/solution was.
Does it occur with all files, or just the one you are currently working on? Try creating a brand new doc, save it, close it, then re-open and try to make revisions and re-save. Did it happen again?
Could possibly be a file permission problem, but I don't think so since you were able to save to the original file along with the extra one with the "-01".

Corrupt file/saving issues

Keynote suddenly wants to save every time I make a change. It is paralyzing, saving every ten seconds. This only happens with one file, others are normal, so it must be corrupt. Tried pasting all the slides into a new file. Nothing. How does one uncorrupt a file?
Mahalo nui loa—that’s our Hawaiian thank you for helping!

After fussing for hours, I discovered it was the presence of a QuickTime movie I had placed on one slide that was causing my grief. I removed the movie, edited the other slides without the hassle of constant saving, and then put the movie back in place when I was done.
Hope this helps others facing this saving glitch.

IDCS4 and Mac Servers - File Saving issues

seems intermittent but.... we have a Mac G5 running Server 10.5.5 where we store all of our customer artwork/files. We use iMacs as workstations (up-to-date on system as well) and access our files with them. Opening a file works fine but when I hit CMD-S to save it asks me where to save instead of just saving the file.
though in some testing today it seems fine. anybody else seen this?

You can do that no problem.

Email image/file saving issue

Hi
My iPad has just been up dated to iOS 8.1.1
I cant find anyone else online who seems to be having the same issue so lets see.
I have attachments/files/images in emails that I want to save to the ipad. The old style that still just show the file work fine but the previewed images I am having issues with.
I am having trouble with a PDF image of a seating chart, the new iOS is showing a preview of the image at the bottom of the email (as a pose to where you use to click the file and then it would preview and you could save from there).
Now when I press it the little box should pop up with the options i.e. save, print, open with documents etc but the box is not there. Now I can tell the box is active because I am unable to press anything within the email app such as inbox delete nothing works so I know that the box should be showing. Sometimes the mail app will crash, if I close it and reopen it normally sometimes the little box flashes up then disappears within a second.
Please tell me someone has found a solution to this problem as this is really going to screw up my work!
Also please don't tell me to visit my 'local' apple store as its hours away and you have to book an appointment like a week in advance, so that's not going to happen.
Any helpful info would be great appreciated

I am aware of how to open it in documents or save it. The problem is the Open with box is not showing up since the 8.1.1 update, it's obviously there because I can't press anything on the screen and sometimes if I press the home button and go back onto mail it shows for a millisecond and disappears

File saving issues in CS6

I have recently upgraded from CS4 to CS6. After editing a jpeg, I try the Save As command and recieve this message...."could not complete the Save As command because there is not enough memory RAM"
I also notice that all my images are at 72 dpi, is this going to affect image quality? I shoot in the largest file possible when taking the photographs. Help, I feel like I no longer understand photoshop
