"Last modified" attribute changes when opening a Excel-document

Hi
We are running Server 2008 R2 as terminal servers and fileserver.
When opening an Excel document stored on the fileserver so changes "date modified" at the opening regardless if you save the document or not. This is a problem for users who want to keep track of when the document has been changed "for real".
Now, "last modified" changes when the document was last read instead, this confuse the users...
If we test the same procedure on our older terminal server environment, Server 2003 or on our clients (Windows 7) it works how we wanted. The "last modified" only changes when you save the document, and not when you are opening it. Office
2007 is installed on both our new terminal server environment (Server 2008 R2) and the old one (Server 2003).
Can someone explain to me why it behaves like this? And if anyone got a solution? It's only occur on Excel-documents and not the others Office documents...
Thanks in advance

Hi tomburken,
It seems that this is not a server issue .
This issue may due to the " automatically save " executed by some office scripts .
To get the accurate assistance please post this issue to Microsoft office forum :

Error when opening exported Excel document

hi,
i'm using the following to let the user export JSP to Excel file:
response.setContentType("application/download ");
response.setHeader("Content-Disposition","attachment; filename=test.xls");
problem happens only for the first when i try to open the file in excel.
Excel gives me " 'test.xls[1]' could not be found. Check the spelling of the file name, and verify that the file location is correct. ...."
Subsequent tries work fine with no problem.
i noticed that Excel is trying to open a file with a different name, appending [1], which obviosuly doesn't find in its first try.
i would appreciate any kind of clue.
thank you.

I got this from a different post on this forum.
Basically, on your JSP page which you want to export to Excel, set the content type and header as below. Then the browser(Internet Explorer) will try to open the excel document in itself.
<%
response.setContentType("application/vnd.ms-excel");
response.setHeader("Content-Disposition","attachment; filename=" + "test.xls" );
%>
<HTML>
<head>
<title>Excel Compatible HTML</title>
<style type="text/css">
td.currencyCustom { mso-number-format:"$#,##0.00_);[Red]($#,##0.00)"; text-align: right; }
td.currencyDefault { mso-number-format:"Currency"; text-align: right; }
td.integer { mso-number-format:"#,##0_);[Red](#,##0)"; text-align: right; }
td.percent { mso-number-format:"%0.00"; text-align: right; }
</style>
</head>

Currently, i'm trying a different approach.
I'm using POI from jakarta site to create Excel file manually.
here's a snippet of my code in my web request handler that creates an Excel file.
String exportType =(String) request.getParameter("export_type");
if(exportType!=null && exportType.equals(WebConstants.EXPORT_TYPE_MS_EXCEL))
HSSFWorkbook workbook = new HSSFWorkbook();

How to stop automatic date changes when opening an old document?

I use Pages to create my invoices. The problem I'm having is this: when there is a question about an invoice and I need to reopen it the date changes from the original date (which I need) to today's date. I understand why it does this, and I want it to do this when I create the thing, but is there a way to keep it from happening from saved documents?
As a follow up question: it must be very simple to find the date the document was created. Could someone please tell me where to find this?
Thanks in advance

You likely put a date stamp on your invoice via the menu hiearchy, Insert > Date & Time. Highlight the date string, then from a right-mouse button menu, choose Edit Date & Time... You will see another pop-up that gives you some control over your newly inserted Date & Time.

When opening a pdf document in Adobe Reader the font of the original document is changed....It becomes a mix of the original font and a new different font. How can i fix this

When opening a pdf document in Adobe Reader the font of the original document is changed....It becomes a mix of the original font and a new different font. How can i fix this

This issue occurs with most of the PDFs that I open up. I am using the latest version of adobe reader on my windows based machine and it is a general PDF. I saw a similar post online stating that if you look at the fonts used in the document and it doesn't say (Embedded) next to it, then Adobe Reader will try to pull the font(s) from your computer and if it doesn't find that font then it will replace it which makes it look funny.

My Fonts change when opening an InDesign CS4 file with InDesign CS6

I've been experiencing strange behaviour when opening a InDesign CS4 file file with InDesign CS6: the kerning and spacing is all off:
Original file:
opened in InDesign CS6:
Is this a conversion error? Is there a setting/pref I've got wrong?

It's more than a year ago since this issue was reported, but at this time I'd had the same problem when opening a CS4 document in CS6/CC.
I was amazed that a header, placed in capitals, looked different in CS6/CC. But at last, after several tests, i've came to the conclusion that "forced" capitals behaving different than "real" capitals. In others words: when you forcing text to capitals the kerning would be different in CS6/CC. When you place text in real capitals (Shift + text) the kerning is the same as in both InDesign versions.
Text in CS4:
As you can see: in CS4 there's no difference between real capitals en forced capitals.
Below the results when opening the CS4 file in CS6/CC:
I'm not sure if there are still people struggling with this problem, but hopefully was is this helpful.

When converting certain Excel documents a user interaction is required to save the document.

I am using a WebService to open an excel document and save it as PDF. The webService will then return the PDF to my software. The problem being that some Excel documents have formulas in them that automatically change the document when it is
opened. When my webservice closes the workbook, a prompt is displayed requiring a user to click save in order for the Excel service to stop and my webService to gather the PDF and return it to my software. During my testing I never get this
prompt, even if I use one of the "affected" PDF's. When I run this live we ALWAYS get this prompt. What am I doing wrong?
I have installed the registry key that is supposed to get rid of the save dialog boxes, didn't help.
I have changed the save settings in MS Excel, didn't help.
I have changed the DCOM settings for the Excel application to different users and interactive user, didn't help.
I have edited the application pool identity to see if that was the reason, didn't help.
I have been all over this to no avail. Do any of you have any ideas I didn't think of? Thank you.

What does the registry key you installed ?
If you want to get rid of the save dialog box, you can try to use the VBA code.
Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose(Cancel As Boolean)
Me.Close savechanges:=True "close and save changes, don't ask".
Me.Close savechanges:=False "close and don't save changes, don't ask".
End Sub

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.

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?

If you opened it with Adobe Reader, then yes: "Yes" is safe (I just did the same thing one minute ago).

Why do I have to logon each time when opening a office Document from a SharePoint 2010 Library

Hello guys,
I'm facing some design issue with sharepoint 2010 and Microsoft office, hope you can help me to fix this.
Why do I have to logon each time when opening a office Document from a SharePoint Library when I'm already authenticated via the browser?
Please help me to skip this authentication when i try to open office documents from sharepoint library.
Thanks
Jeyaraman S

Hi Jeyaraman, in addition to Alex's solution, check the following browser settings:
Make sure “Enable protected mode” in security tab & “Require server verification” in “sites” area are unchecked. In “Custom level,” choose “Automatic logon” way at the bottom.

InDesign CS6 Bug when opening a new document

Hi,
When opening a second document, InDesign CS6 alays crash on OSX LION - IMAC 27"
Here's crash report : http://pastebin.com/GrWdaQ7x
Any idea ?

Check for Third Party plugins. Make sure that you only have plugins that come with InDesign application. Remove custom/sample plugins and try again.
If the above doesn't work, delete InDesign preferences (at C:\Documents and Settings\...\Application Data\Adobe\InDesign).

How top Open a Excel Document from share point document library using jquery

How top Open a Excel Document from share point document library using jquery

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to open excel file via JQuery.
To open excel file, we can use the following code.
<script type="text/javascript">
function openExcel(strFilePath) {
var yourSite = "http://www.yoursite.com";
openExcelDocPath(yourSite + strFilePath, false);
function openExcelDocPath(strLocation, boolReadOnly) {
var objExcel;
objExcel = new ActiveXObject("Excel.Application");
objExcel.Visible = true;
objExcel.Workbooks.Open(strLocation, false, boolReadOnly);
</script>

Is it requried to restart the server???

Hi,
Please check your event log and see if there is relevant error message.
If you have observed event id 5021 like this "The identity of application pool 625dfcc8e4054c7d8da14feaca288250 is invalid. The user name or password that is specified
for the identity may be incorrect, or the user may not have batch logon rights".
Then the error indicates the issue is caused by either of these:
1. The account doesn’t have user rights to to “log on as a batch job” and “log on as a service” in group policy.
2. The account permission is out of sync between SharePoint database and AD.
If not, let me know the event id.
