Excel Interface and IE11

On our web site, we have classic asp reports that are displayed using the excel interface via the code Response.ContentType = "application/vnd.ms-excel".  When you click on a link to these reports, a pop-up appears that asks the user if
they want to open or save the file, and when the user clicks "Open", the report is launched via the Excel interface with IE.  This worked fine until some users upgraded their browsers to IE 11.  Now, when those users click "Open",
they will sometimes get the report to launch successfully, but will sometimes get the error message "Unable to Read File" within Excel.  There does not seem to be any pattern to this error...sometimes the report opens successfully, sometimes
it takes one extra try to open it, and sometimes it takes three to four tries.  It happens whether Excel is already open or not, and nothing changes between an unsuccessful attempt and a successful one.  Has anyone experienced this problem with IE
11, and if so, is there a solution?

Facing the same issue that, We have an Excel Export functionality. This functionality is working fine till IE10 but when tested in IE11 the exported Excel file popup window is not having Save/Save as option and only it  has "Open" option
and click on open, showing an error message "A DDE error has occured, and a description of the error cannot be displayed because it is too long. If the filename or path is long, try renaming the file or copying it to a different folder." 
Any suggestion on this.

  • Excel freezing and Outlook losing Add-in

    I am having two issues on a workstation running Office 2013 home and business. The first issue is Excel randomly freezing when opening spreadsheets, it's random and will open two spreadsheets ok and freeze on the third and vice versa, there's nothing wrong
    with the spreadsheets. When it freezes it gets to the point where half the excel interface is loaded and locks up (it isn't not responding in Task Manager, still says running) and I have to close Excel and try again.
    - Tried full Office repair using online recovery
    - Tried different user profile
    - Tried opening spreadsheets from a network location and local drive
    - There are no errors in the Event logs regarding this at all
    - Disabled AV software, all Windows updates installed, still happens in Excel safe mode, disabled all excel add-ins
    - Run full virus scan, gone through and closed all the processes on the machine that I can, tested excel after stopping each process
    - Run full windows memory diagnostic and no errors reported
    - Computer is HP workstation only couple of months old, all latest drivers and updates
    - The workstation is running Windows 7 x64 Pro, Trend Micro AV software, part of a SBS 2011 domain.
    The other issue I am having on the same machine and reason I ask the question here instead of creating a new thread is because I thought they may be related. We use an Outlook 2013 add-in but on this machine every time we close Outlook the add-in disappears
    we actually have to go back in to Outlook each time and re-enable it and it works ok.
    I can only think of two options one is complete removal and reinstall of Office which I don't think will fix the issue or complete format/reinstall of Windows which will be very time consuming and would rather not do.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Thanks a lot for the detailed information you gave, it was very helpful. After read though your post, could you help me on some questions:
    For Excel crash:
    Questions:
    Is this the only workstaion which having this issue?
    Is this issue happen on particular spreadsheet?
    What is the cpu model of this workstation?
    Was this issue starting suddenly? If so what has been changed on the server?
    Some steps I would suggest to try:
    Clean boot your workstation and try to open the spreadsheet again.
    Delete temp files of current user.
    Disable hardware graphics acceleration
    File: Options: Advanced: Disable hardware graphics acceleration.

    For Outlook
    Questions:
    Is this issue only happening on this workstation?
    Is the Group Policy set in your domain to control 3<sup>rd</sup> party loading behavior?
    Does Outlook start up slow? (Sometimes if Outlook start time exceeded threshold, add-in will be disabled)
                Some steps I would suggest to try:
    Change registry key under: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\Outlook\Addins(name_of_the_addin), set load behavior to 3, which specifies that the add-in is loaded at startup. For more information, see
    LoadBehavior Values.
    Delete registy key under: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\outlook\resiliency\disableditems\
    Let me know the result, so we can check further, thank you.

  • How can I access the properties of Microsoft files (excel, ppt, and word)

    Hi,
    How can I access the properties of common Microsoft file formats (Excel, Word, and Powerpoint) from a Java program. You can access/modify the properties of each document type using File->Properties in each MS application. The properties are essentially name/value pairs.
    Basically, I need to write a java program that scans a directory and accesses the properties in each of the MS files in the directory.
    thanks,
    -john

    By api. That is only way to establish a contract with the MS programs you want to interface with, unless you write an api yourself! I've used POI and it was an awesome way to use Excel in java. I created an excel spreadsheet from the results of a sql query from a batch program and then it was automatically emailed using javamail to my client. I had a lot of VBA experience with Excel, Word, and Outlook and it didn't take me long to get used to using Jakarta-POI.
    Now I see there is Jakarta-POI-HWPF which works with MS Word documents. Go to: http://jakarta.apache.org/poi/

  • Export to Microsoft Excel opens empty - IE11, Office 2010, Win 7

    Hi,
    I am using IE11, Office 2010 and Win7 64bit. When I open IE, navigate to a webpage and click "Export to Microsoft Excel" from the context menu of IE, Excel opens and the "New Web Query" dialog has an empty address (http:///). The content
    is
    "This page can`t be displayed"
    Does anyone know what might be the cause of this problem and how can I fix it?
    Best Regards,
    Jordan

    Hi,
    Please include a link to any webpage you are having issues with your questions so we can test the page....:
    Any webpage ... it is not webpage specific rather an environmental problem.
    javascript:alert(navigator.platform); :
    Message from webpage
    Win32
    OK   
    Open Excel, switch to DATA, choose From Web , then try to import the website for test if it had same problem.:
    It works unsurprisingly ...
    When I open IE I can see in the Windows Task Manager there are 2 processes - a 64bit (~8MB RAM) and a 32bit one (~70 MB RAM)
    My Office 2010 is a 32bit.
    If I open it directly a 32bit excel process is stared.
    If I open it via the "Export to Microsoft Excel" menu two 32bit excel processes are started. I believe one is for the New Web Query and another one for the Excel itself ..

  • SAP IDOC's, interfaces and BAPI's

    Hi i am new to SD, can anyone give me documentation or reading material for SAP IDOC's, interfaces and BAPI's .
    Help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanking you

    Hi Reddy,
    Very general question, I don't think you will find the answer in one document.
    BAPIs are normal function modules, with predefined input and output structures to perform standard business transactions.
    IDOCs are standardised interface documents to transfer data.
    Once the IDOC is read, it almost always calls a BAPI to perform the business transaction.
    Therefore start with reading about BAPIs since you will definately have to master those when starting to work on interfaces.
    There are hundreds of BAPIs so best is to start with a specific process, example sales order create or material master create.
    Try transaction BAPI, this lists most of the BAPIs and contains excellent documentation.
    Thanks for your points,
    Filip

  • Able to edit Business Rules through Excel interface?

    Hi,
    I wonder if there is any way that I can add, modify or delete the Business Rules definitions through Excel interface. In the Admin Console, though the Business Rules interface looks neat, I encounter the following difficulties in editing the Account Transformation definitions:
    1. The check in the Reverse Sign sometimes disappears after the definitions being saved. I have to click something other than Business Rules, like Dimensions, Application, Security, etc, and come back to Account transformation again in order to have the Reverse Sign check being saved.
    2. I'm not able to to check the Reverse Sign in the last definition of Account transformation. It always disappears after being saved. My workaround is to put a dummy definition at the end or not to put that definition, which needs Reverse Sign, at the end.
    3. When I delete some definitions in the middle, the following error pops up after validation.
    [] value does not exists in ID of Account dimension.
    4. I have written my definitions in my design documents in Excel but I'm not able to copy and paste all of them to Admin Console's business rules. I have to fill in each value one by one.
    Or can I simply edit the table dbo.clcCALCAccount_XXXX? Since I used to be a database programmer, I feel it easier to directly edit the database table rather than using the business rules interface.
    Best Regards,
    Sunny

    Sunny,
    It is not according to the book but it is possible to change the business rules directly on the SQL. That is the way i do it sometime... and yes the table you point is the right one. You see other tables for other business rules...
    Usually i just do a copy and paste into excel. Then i change into excel (i also use EVPROs to check if the members are not calculated members...) and then i repaste it into SQL...
    But I have to say, do it at your own risk, as I stated before it is not really advised/safe...

  • Nokia's user interface and software A terrible e...

    (hope this is in the right section, here goes)
    I got my E63 about a month ago. I thought it only fair to list my grievances with the phone so far, because I am really close to selling it and buying something else, and I think Nokia deserves to know the reasons why, and will hopefully improve in the future.
    I will start off with what I love about the phone, because I do in fact, really like it. The slim size, excellent keyboard, great connectivity like 3G and Wi-fi, and the reasonable battery life, make it a great phone, but its in the user interface, and actual usage of the phone, where things really start to fall flat.
    The user interface is very disorganized and difficult.
    Why is everything so hard to find and use? For example, if I want to change the applications that appear on my home screen, I need to navigate the following directory tree:
    Menu > Tools > Settings > General > Personalisation > Mode Settings > Home Screen Applications > Application Shortcuts > Shortcut 1
    and then, when I finally get to the list, the items arent even in any order!
    You must be joking, what a horrible menu! Its insane. As a user, I feel like its a terrible experience.
    But thats not all. Why are there 2 notes applications on my phone? There's notes, and active notes. Why does Nokia OVI store exist twice, once in the main menu, and once under installations? Why do I have Contacts, and OVI contacts on my phone? Why can't my phone have just one app that works well, instead of 2 that differ slightly.
    Why is email setup in the installations menu? Why isn't it under email, where mailboxes get set up? Its just sitting there cluttering up Installations, when its something you only use once or twice.
    Not to mention the fact that the configuration settings are all over the place, i.e. there is an Email Key setting in Menu > Tools > Settings > General. Its all on its own, not near anything. Why isn't it in the same menu where the other shortcut keys get set? Or even in the email app settings?
    I am not naive, I know that the E63 is on the cheaper end of the scale, so I can't expect it to be the fastest phone in the world, but scrolling through my email in HTML mode is so horribly slow, and the view tends to jump from left to right on some emails, I hardly even use the phone to check my email anymore, which is sad because that is the reason I chose the E63.( for the nice keypad and email syncing)
    These are just SOME of the things that I have noticed. So please Nokia, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE! Spend some of your R&D money on user interface and user experience!
    If there is anything you take away from this letter, let it be this:
    Doing anything on the phone just feels like hard work, it makes me not want to use the phone.
    Your phones should be simple and easy to use, even without the mass of Help files that appear in a lot of the menus.
    I know, some people may say that if I want a better experience, I should be willing to buy a more expensive phone. Well, I can say that if I do spend more money on a phone, the chance is very slim that it will be a Nokia.
    Really, I am not being nasty, just trying to be honest. I know that Nokia is run by human beings like myself, so I tried to be polite, and I dont intend to hurt anyones feelings.
    I am quite willing to answer any questions you may have. Its a bit of a pipe dream, but I would love to see Nokia release an entirely new version of the phone software, with everything re-organized and re-done. The sad truth is that will probably never happen, and I will end up swopping my E63 for something that is easy and pleasant to use.
    So please, let me know if there is anything I can do to change the situation, or help you guys in making this better for everyone.

    "If your not used to symbian you'll learn it quick enough, compared to android it's childsplay."
    On the contrary, Ive been using Nokia phones for the last 8 years, and for the last 2 years Nokia exclusively, and the UI has just got worse.
    The fact that "you'll learn it" is of no comfort. Why should I have to spend hours learning how to use a cellphone? Whenever I want to do something I havent done before, I have to spend time digging through obscure menu options. That is absurd.
    "What phone do you have in mind to replace the E63,  that would help us users alot more then telling us what is wrong with your phone.  Although over all I like my e63."
    I don't have any specific phone in mind, Im just going to ask and look around until I find something with an operating system that is organised in a logical manner, and that allows me to access and read my email quickly and easily.
    I put this here hoping that other users would come forward with UI related things that they were unhappy about,  and then Nokia would take notice. I could easily have just gone out and changed phones, but I chose to do something different.

  • How make customized menu default in excel interface

    Hi everybody,
    Experts, i want to change the first screen that opens up when i open the excel Interface, instead of the three globes, i want my costumized menu to open, so the user can start working from there,
    Is there any way to do it?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    To remove the 3 globes you can follow this:
    First, as I recall, there is a file, u201CLaunch.dllu201D, (?) under the webfolders directory on the server that can be updated with the image you would like to use.
    ----Additionally, A SAP note has been created:
    Note 1287629 - Customizing of Company Logo image in BPC for Excel
    (IM 3220483)
    Symptom
    This purpose is supporting the customized image on default workbook when Logging on to BPC for Excel.
    Other terms
    BPC 7.0M SP3 Microsoft, Company Logo, IM 3220483
    Solution
    This is Supported in BPC 7.0M SP3.
    Customer can change the image on the default workbook.
    Additional Info
    If a customer wants to change the image on the default workbook, it needs to set the Application Set parameter on the Web administration as below.
    1. Image file should be in "Server Install\Data\WebFolders[Appset]"
    2. Add to Application Set Parameter.
    KeyID : COMPANY_LOGO
    Value : image file name. Image file extention only support to "BMP","GIF" and "JPG".
    3. Available value
    u2022 If you want no image on default workbook, you should leave blank in the value field.
    u2022 If you want to show default image; terrestrial globe, you should set Default in value field or remove the key from the application set parameter.
    As for setting a menu as the default I think you would need to either look at using a BPF or use a macro and open a custom menu.
    Santosh

  • Do I need an interface and what exactly is a preamp?

    I do a lot of recording with GB. I own and have used the Presonus Firepod and the Tascam US-122 for past projects. But I am wondering if there are any other options as far as getting a strong audio signal into my computer.
    Lately I have been just plugging a Shure SM58 straight into (with a 1/4 inch then an 1/8 inch adapter) the audio/input jack on my MBP. This is not working out bad but I cannot get a strong signal without "hiss."
    Now, I could just go through the Firepod or US-122 but lately I have been hearing people talk about preamp. I know that both of my interfaces have preamps but I am sure that they are not very good. So what I am wondering is can I get a dedicated preamp to go between the mic and the computer skipping the interface? Or do I need the interface too? Ideally if I can use a preamp I would like it to be quite small.
    Any suggestions?
    TIA!
    Message was edited by: [email protected]

    Depending on if you're purpose is for commercial release or not, you don't need a preamp. I'll tell you this though even professionals who work in studios with recording consoles costing 6 figures use external preamps to plugin into their already excellent preamps. Why do they do this? For a stronger signal to noise ratio to get the loudest sound into their preferred choice of media without distortion. There are cheap options like the ART tube pre which is better than not having one but then you have a lug around another piece of equipment. The only decent one I've seen out there that is designed for portability and provides professional sound is the Apogee mini-me which is an interface with excellent preamps and AD/DA conversion.

  • Excel 2007 and Smartview 11.1 file open slow

    We are in the process of upgrading to HFM system 11.1 and smartview 11.1.1.3 and as part of this process we are starting to use Excel 2007. I am encountering an interesting problem when opening files in Excel 2007 using smartview 11.1 and I am wondering if any one else has seen this problem and found a solution.
    First I converted an excel 2003 file to excel 2007 and saved the file as an xlsx file type. Then I am able to open the file and it would take about 30 seconds to open the file. The file has about 15,000 formulas on for spreadsheets. If I click on each spreadsheet individually and use the "Refersh" button I can save the file in about 10 seconds and then close the file. When I open the file again it will open in 30 seconds. Now using the same file I click "Refresh All" and the file processes fine. I am able to save and close the file in about 10 seconds. However, when I try to open the file again it takes about 20 minutes to open, and then 20 minutes to close.
    This only happens with two or three files. I have another file that is 40 spreadsheets and about 3,000 formulas that is not affected when I click Refresh or Refresh All.
    Any help would be apperciated.

    Hi
    On metalink i found some notes about this issure
    "Background
    SmartView communicates over HTTP using .NET. This just means that requests and responses are sent in a standard XML format that is tucked in the HTTP headers. The mechanism is the same as when your internet browser requests a file or submits a form (simplification). A standard Microsoft component that is part of Internet Explorer is used for this.
    There are three components (four if you include the network) in a SmartView refresh:
    -the client
    -the web server
    -the HFM application server
    It is easiest to troubleshoot when they are on separate machines. (Running SmartView on the server to see whether it works better is a useful test to see what effect the network is having, but doesn't show any other bottlenecks.) If you run Task Manager on these 3 machines showing the Performance tab, you will see initial activity on the client as Excel clears the cells and the request is converted into XML. Then you see the web server get busy as it receives and parses the request. Then the application server is busy as it send the data, then the web server is busy as it compiles the results into XML again, and finally the client parses the XML, pushes the data into cells and runs an Excel calculation. This last stage is the longest of all. Overall, it is typical to see the client doing 90-95% of the work, so client performance is a very important factor. Look out for Excel's memory usage increasing and RAM becoming in short supply. Often, user dissatisfaction with refresh times can be alleviated by giving them more RAM or a faster PC.
    The situation we are dealing with here, however, is when the chain of events described above is interrupted. In this case, you will see the client or the web server wait in vain for a response from the next machine in the chain. The case of invalid XML is similar, but the response is truncated so that the XML is not well-formed when it arrives. XML consists of matching pairs of tags and is not well-formed when a closing tag is missing. This can be caused by certain network settings such as packet size (see later). The end result in either case is the same: as Excel cleared the cells before sending the request, cells are left blank or with zeroes.
    Your job now is to work out why the particular component is failing.
    Client
    Check the HTTP time out in the registry:
    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings]\
    "ReceiveTimeout"=dword:00dbba00
    "KeepAliveTimeout"=dword:002BF20
    "ServerInfoTimeout"=dword:002BF20
    The time-out limit is five minutes for versions 4.0 and 4.01 and is 60 minutes for versions 5.x and 6. Also, the time-out limit is 30 seconds for Windows Internet Explorer 7. To change the settings, add the above keys. The above values are hexadecimal, not decimal and correspond to 18000 milliseconds (3 minutes) and 240 minutes for the receive time-out. See
    - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/813827
    - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/181050
    Once you make those changes, my recommendation is that you reboot the client machine.
    Web server
    Look for errors in logs showing that the web app didn't respond/disconnected or timed out waiting for another application (i.e. the HFM application server). Eliminate load balancers etc. during testing in order to isolate the problem and to ensure that the user always goes to the same web server otherwise, logs can be hard to interpret. See also the IIS Tuning Guide for IIS settings. We cannot recommend particular settings, as each client must establish the optimal settings for their own environment after performance testing. If necessary, engage the services of a suitably qualified consultant.
    Application Server
    HFM application server performance is very dependent on whether the data is already in RAM or not. One symptom, where the first refresh fails but the second one succeeds, is probably a sign that the cache needed to be populated and once that had been done (by the first refresh) it went faster. HFM loads whole subcubes (Scenario, Year, Value and Entity) into cache, so asking for lots of accounts in the same subcube is fast, but asking for lots of entities will inevitably slow things down as it runs out of RAM and starts unloading subcubes to make room for more. The HFM event log (HsvEventLog.log) shows this happening, but don't forget that the messages you see are a normal consequence of the way HFM works and are not a problem unless you see a hugely elevated number of them during the period the refresh occurs. Another sign would be page file thrashing.
    If there are several servers in a cluster, use sticky sessions in HFM to make sure tests always go the same server, or hit one server directly rather than using the cluster.
    Solutions here involve giving more RAM to the server (probably not possible because of the 2 GB limit) and changing the worksheet design to restrict the number of subcubes accessed. A separate consolidation server, so that reads are not competing with intensive consolidations and calculations, would be a good thing.
    Network
    To find out if packets get fragmented, use
    ping -l size -f
    to send a big packet with the 'don't fragment' flag. E.g.
    Ping -l 1024 -f oracle.com
    If you see a reply like Reply from 141.146.8.66: bytes=1024 time=200ms TTL=245 then the size you specified is below the packet limit of the network. But if you use, for example, 2000 in place of 1024, you get Packet needs to be fragmented but DF set, then you know you have exceeded the limit. Combine this investigation with a Fiddler trace (https://www.fiddler2.com/fiddler2/) to see what size data messages are being sent and received.
    Troubleshooting Guidance
    If you seriously want to go into this in more detail, then it will take a considerable effort on your and your IT Department's part. My general advice would be:
    1. During this process, fix your environment so that it is predictable. Register a single HFM application server and connect to that. Use a single web server and don't go through Apache or any other redirector. Make sure we know which machine to go to for logs. This would be a temporary measure and it doesn't stop the other users using the full, load balanced system so long as it doesn't involve your server.
    2. As far as possible keep other users from using it during testing, unless you are specifically testing for performance under load. We want to see what activity is due to SmartView and not random other jobs.
    3. Use PerfMon on all three machines: client, web server and application server.
    4. Clear Logs before testing and note the times of each test so the logs can be correlated.
    5. Log CPU activity, memory usage, network throughput, page faults, thread count etc. I'm no expert on this so get advice from someone who is.
    6. In addition to the performance logs, from the IIS Server get:
    * HTTP.SYS Error Log - %windir%\System32\LogFiles\HTTPERR (Default location; configurable)
    * IIS Website Log - %windir%\System32\LogFiles\W3SVC# (Default location; configurable)
    * Event Log (both System and Application) in EVT and TXT (tab separated) formats
    7. From HFM Application server get:
    * HsvEventLog.log (in <HFM install>\Server working Folder)
    * Event Log (both System and Application) in EVT and TXT (tab separated) formats
    8. Be aware of all timeout settings in your environment (i.e. IIS & the network) and time your tests. This can show whether it is an ASP timeout, script timeout, client side timeout or whatever. Note that the Web Session Timeout setting for SmartView in HFM's Server and Web Configuration is a separate issue from IIS timeouts. Web Session Timeout controls the length of idle time before SmartView makes the user log in again. Default 20 mins.
    9. Run Fiddler traces to directly observe the XML and check for HTTP failures.
