Inquiry about opening any file with internet explorer

Dear all,
i am opening any file with internet explorer on the client machine.but i want to open it as READ-ONLY. so is there any parameter i should add to the command.
the command i am using is :
client_host('"\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe " "'||v_file_name||'"'; );
Thanks in advance

Hi,
I don't think there is a way to open a file as read only using Client_Host. But i can give you another suggestion. Change the permission of the file to readonly (may be using chmod command) before opening the file in the browser.
client_host('chmod -w '||v_file_name);Regards,
Arun

  • Unable to open PDF files in Internet Explorer

    Hello,
    One of our users has a problem with opening PDF files in Internet Explorer.
    Translation:
    Adobe PDF-document
    There is a problem with Adobe Acrobat/Reader. Close Adobe Acrobat/Read and try again.
    The user is using Adobe Acrobat 8 Standard in combination with Windows XP and Internet Explorer 6. I reinstalled Adobe Acrobat (under an administrator account), deleted the local user profile and the problem is still there.
    Does anyone have an idea about this? The error message doesn't really say what is wrong. Adobe Reader is not installed.

    What exactly means "unable"?  Do you see a little x in a box on the top left of IE11?  If so, this may be the solution: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2716529

  • Unable to open pdf files using Internet Explorer and Adobe 9.1

    We are unable to open any/all pdf files in Internet Explorer 6 or 7 using Adobe Reader 9.1 on Windows XP SP2.
    The error message is that IE has a problem and sorry for the inconvenience.
    Clicking "OK" closes IE.
    We did not have any issue with Adobe Reader 8.1.
    What we did to date:
    1. Uninstall Adobe Reader 9.1
    2. Run Windows Clean Utility to remove any remnant of Adobe Reader 8
    3. Re-install Adobe Reader 9.1
    Any other suggestions?
    Need to have this upgrade.

    I'm having a similar issue. Prior to upgrading to Acrobat 9.1 I was able to view PDFs from IE 6. No longer. Instead I get a message: "Error opening document. File cannot be found."
    Help?

  • I installed the latest update, and tried to reply to an email right after. The email looked like a bunch of cymbals, arrows, font names, parts of the email. So I opened it up with Internet Explorer, and all was normal. How do I get this fixed?

    The latest update was the source of the problem. I was replying to emails, and the update popped up. I updated. I continued to reply to emails, and the whole page had arrows, symbols, brackets, font names, red correction lines, etc.
    I opened my emails in Internet Explorer, and everything was normal. How do I fix this?

    I look at it like this, it was a solution to my problem. There is obviously something wrong with the new version. When everyone starts complaining, and some genius figures out the fix, then I will worry about the upgrade. Until then, I am fine with running 4.0. I have to disagree with you though. 6.0 is a downgrade for sure. There is a lot to be desired compared to this version. Who wants price gong, and screwed up emails. Not me. The problem is out there, and now someone needs to work on the bug fixes on this BETA version.

  • Can not open any files with Illustrator CC on windows 8.1

    I can not open any files in Illustrator CC. It comes with an error message and shuts down. I run with the Danish version and windows 8.1. - help?!!

  • Cant open ANY file with Pages 3.0.2 (iWork'08)

    I cant open any file, not even a blank document. When I try to start a new document, I get the message:"The template “Blank.template” could not be opened."  This happens with ALL templates (obviously the name of the template changes to that being tried to open).
    Interesting enough is that Pages do not crash, as the menu bar on top is available.
    Trying to open an existing document doesn't work also, as after selecting it and clicking OK, the browsing window closes but the file does not open.
    This only happens with my account (administrator level). I've tried deleting the "com.apple.iWork.Pages.plist" file from MyAccount/library/preferences (moving it to Trash) but still the same.
    Please HELP   My operating system is 10.5.6
    Regards
    Arturo Trevino

    In your own account, the unique preferences file directly related to Pages is:
    <startupVolume>:Users:<yourAccount>:Library:Preferences:com.apple.iWork.Pages.pl ist
    There is no reason to remove any other one.
    But, before removing it, go to the Preferences menu item to check which is defined as the default template in your own preferences.
    I am tired so I will switch off soon.
    I will be back to-morrow.

  • "Open method of Workbooks class failed" when opening Excel file via Internet Explorer

    (apologies, I posted this first to the general Office 2010 forum, but then realized this was probably a better spot to post)
    We have an Excel COM add-in installed on users' PCs.  This add-in responds to workbook open events by opening a particular XLA file (also deployed to the PC) to make certain features available.  This process works flawlessly when Excel files are
    opened locally - but when a user attempts to open an Excel file from an IE link, we get the following error: "Open method of Workbooks class failed".  This is happening on the line that is trying to open the XLA file.  This only happens
    when launching an Excel link from IE - works fine in Chrome or Firefox.
    I have found several posts on this topic, but no solutions:
    1. This post (https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/forums/office/en-US/73c96005-84af-4648-b103-32b677205be3/open-method-of-workbooks-class-failed)
    is the closest to our problem.  In this case, the "answer" was that the user may not have access to the 2nd workbook being opened.  But in our case, we're opening an XLA that is on the local machine, and I've confirmed that it is not
    corrupt and accessible (read & write, just in case!) to Everyone.
    2. This (very old) post (http://www.pcreview.co.uk/forums/open-method-workbooks-fails-excel-hosted-ie-t965608.html)
    seems similar, but is talking about opening Excel inside of IE.  This is not what we're doing - the link is supposed to (and does) open Excel outside of IE.  Interestingly, Excel.exe is being launched with the "-embedded" flag, even
    though it isn't running in the IE window.  When launching Excel by opening the file locally, Excel.exe is run with the "/dde" flag instead.  Clearly the "-embedded" mode is what is causing the problem.  I could change the
    links on the web page to use some JavaScript to open Excel differently... unfortunately, the links are actually generated by SharePoint (the Excel files are in a SP repository), so this is not really an option.
    3. This Microsoft KB article (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/268016) talks about problems opening an XLA directly from IE... but this is the case of a link pointing
    directly to an XLA file, not opening a regular workbook that in turn opens an XLA, as is my case.  In fact, this article specifically points out in the "More Information" section that "End users do not normally open XLAs; instead they open
    an XLS that (if needed) loads one or more XLAs during startup." ==> precisely what I'm trying to do that is giving me the error!
    I've replicated the situation with a very simple COM add-in (created in VS2010 using VB.Net) and a very simple XLA file (does nothing, just pops up a message in auto_open).  For anyone wanting to try it out, here is the exact test case:
    1. In Excel, create a simple XLA file containing only the following code, and save it in C:\TEMP\dummy.xla:
    Sub Auto_Open()
    MsgBox "Auto Open fired"
    End Sub
    2. In Visual Studio, create a new Excel 2010 Add-In.  I created mine via Visual Basic, but I doubt the choice of language matters.  Place the following code in ThisAddin.vb:
    Public Class ThisAddIn
    Private Sub ThisAddIn_Startup(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Startup
    AddHandler Me.Application.WorkbookOpen, AddressOf Application_WorkbookOpen
    End Sub
    Private Sub ThisAddIn_Shutdown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Shutdown
    End Sub
    Sub Application_WorkbookOpen(ByVal workbook As Excel.Workbook)
    On Error GoTo ErrHandler
    If (Not workbook.Name.Contains("dummy.xla")) Then
    MsgBox("Workbook open")
    Application.Workbooks.Open("C:\temp\dummy.xla")
    Application.Workbooks("dummy.xla").RunAutoMacros(Excel.XlRunAutoMacro.xlAutoOpen)
    End If
    Exit Sub
    ErrHandler:
    MsgBox(Err.Description)
    End Sub
    End Class
    3. Build & publish this add-in and install it on the same machine as the XLA created in step 1.
    4. Create and save an empty Excel workbook (I called mine WayneTest1.xlsx) - save it locally (on your desktop), and put a copy somewhere on your web server (I put mine directly in c:\inetpub).
    5. Create an HTML file with a link to that workbook, saving it to the same web server location - here is mine:
    <html>
    <body>
    <a href="WayneTest1.xlsx">Link to Excel file</a>
    </body>
    </html>
    6. Double click the workbook on your desktop (from step 4) - opens fine, I get the "workbook open" message, following by the "Auto Open fired" message.
    7. In Internet Explorer, navigate to the HTML file specified in step 5 and click on the link - when prompted, select "Open" - I get the "workbook open" message, following by the error message "Open method of Workbooks class failed".
    Here are a few things I've ruled out / tried so far:
    - Unchecked all the "Protected View" settings in Excel, made no difference
    - Unchecked all the "File block settings" in Excel, made no difference
    - Made sure dummy.xla was open for read & write to Everyone
    - Made sure the web page was in Trusted sites and set the security level to Low for those sites in IE
    - Tried making the local desktop file (step 6) readonly, made no difference (i.e. launching it locally still worked fine)
    - Tried using Excel 2013 - made no difference
    Any ideas / suggestions?

  • Cannot download a file with internet explorer 6 using SSL connection

    Hello,
    I am working on a application that uses SSL. But when the clicks a button to donwload a file using IE 6 or IE 7, internet explorer shows a error message saying that "The internet explorer cannot open this site". This error dont occur in Firefox, but i have to use Internet Explorer. And the error occurs only if i use https, with http it works fine.
    I search the net and i found that internet explorer has a bug, that when the server sends the http header "Pragma: no-cache" or "Cache-control: no-cache,max-age=0,must-revalidate", then the internet explorer doesnt cache the file, and i cannot open it. See here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/316431/en-us
    My problem is that OC4J appears to send this headers automatically. I am using Oracle Enterprise Manager 10g Application Server Control 10.1.3.3.0. Here, is my code to send the file:
    HttpServletResponse response = (HttpServletResponse)
    FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext().getResponse();
    response.setContentType("application/x-download");
    response.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachement; filename=\"file.pfx\"");
    response.setContentLength((new Long(myFile.length())).intValue());
    OutputStream out=null;
    try {
    out = response.getOutputStream();
    fis = new FileInputStream(myFile);
    int n;
    while ((n = fis.available())> 0) {
    b = new byte[n];
    int result = fis.read(b);
    out.write(b, 0, b.length);
    if (result == -1) break;
    out.flush();
    out.close();
    } catch (Exception e){
    throw new DownloadException("Erro ao enviar arquivo para o stream de download.");
    finally{
    FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().responseComplete();
    You can see that i not send that headers in this code.
    Here, is the headers sent to IE when i use https.

    Hi!
    I don't have a solution fou you, just a few ideas =)
    You can check what headers response contains with
    response.containsHeader( "your_header_here");
    http://java.sun.com/j2ee/sdk_1.2.1/techdocs/api/javax/servlet/http/HttpServletResponse.html#containsHeader(java.lang.String)
    after that you could set/overwrite those headers that you don't like with, for example:
    response.setHeader("Cache-control", "no-cache,max-age=0,must-revalidate");
    Aparently Pragma and Cache-control headers should be used in pair, as noted here
    http://curl.haxx.se/mail/archive-2005-12/0003.html
    quote:"The author of Bad Behavior points out that RFC2616 requires that a
    Pragma: header to be accompanied by a Cache-Control: header. From what I
    see, it only says "SHOULD" (in section 14.32), but that is still a
    strong recommendation and something to be considered, IMHO."
    I'm a bit sceptical about you needing to cache the file, but if you feel strong about it, you could read this
    http://www.mnot.net/cache_docs/#META
    If you're working on SSL there is supposed to be some kind of validation, certificate or something like that. IE6 and 7 both have strong security measures in these regards. Maybe you should look something up in that direction.
    Hope I helped.

  • Opening XML files In Internet Explorer Using WebLogic

    Hi,
    i am developing a web application which runs under web logic. When a link is clicked to open a new browser window which will contain an XML file there are no problems using Firefox, however when i do the same in IE, a new window opens but it remains blank, not showing any XML content.
    Any ideas why this could be happening?
    Thanks

    What do you mean with "run-on text"?
    If you refer to the XML content (including the tags, "raw XML"), then the Internet Explorer fails to display the content of the XML using the style sheet.
    Another option is that you configured the Internet Explorer to always display the raw content instead of using the style sheet.

  • Firefox 3.6.8 is not opening any website, while internet explorer is browing the internet normaly.

    Firefox is not opeing any website at all. The internet connection is running smooth. IE is browsing the internet normaly. Skype and messenger is also running without any issues but fire fox won't browse the internet at all. It always displays the following message when ever i try to open any website.
    "'' The connection has timed out
    The server at en-us.start3.mozilla.com is taking too long to respond.
    * The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few
    moments.
    * If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network
    connection.
    * If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure
    that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.

    A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox without informing you about that, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox.
