Link to Excel document in site throws "Document with same name already open"

I have an Excel document stored in a document library in SP2010. I provided a link to the document in a CEWP on a page. When clicking the link on the page, Excel throws the erorr "Two documents with the same name cannot be opened" error.
When clicking the link in the document library, the Excel workbook opens fine. When hovering over both links, the URL in the status bar is identical. Here is the link in the page:
<span style="width:120px; padding-right:50px;">
<a class="ms-addnew" href="https://mydomain.com/sys/groups/ermcg/RA/Shared%20Documents/RA1.xlsm">
<img src="https://mydomain.com/sys/groups/ermcg/RA/SiteAssets/excelsmall.jpg" style="border:none;vertical-align:middle;"></img> Download to Excel</a>
</span>
Thanks in advance,

Hi jd_hancock,
The scenario is not reproduced in my environment.
I used Fiddler to check whether there are differences between them to download the file, it seems the same and the file also successfully opened in the Content Editor Web Part.
I would suggest you to use the same way to check whether the download process is the same, also, type the url directly in the address bar, whether the document can be opened as expected?
Thanks,
Qiao

Creating link to excel document within PDF portfolio

i created a pdf portfolio and created links to pdf documents within portfolio but am unable to create a link to the excel documents. I can't even create a link to direct them to a specific folder where the item is held. HELP, New to pdf portfolio's!

One option is to create a PDF from the Excel spreadsheet and link to that.
If you want to update the spreadsheet, you could create a Web Content overlay (or HTML article) that links to a Google spreadsheet. I've played around with linking to a Google presentation, and it works fine. You can update the spreadsheet/presentation on the website and the changes automatically appear in the overlay. I've just dabbled at it, so I wouldn't be much help with sizing/formatting issues.

Xcelsius not linking to Excel document

When attempting to link in cells from my Excel document. I get nothing in return. For example: If I was to try to link a single value box to a cell in my Excel document I wouldu2026
1.     Create a single value box
2.     Click u201Clink to Cell:u201D
3.     Select the cell in the workbook
This should return the value in that cell and display the path in the u201Clink to Cellu201D box in the single value boxu2019s properties. Neither happens, the "link to cell" box remains with the value "0.0" in it as if I had not done anything.
Info on my Excel document
1. Size 372 KB (is this too large?)
2 Formulas used: Vlookup, concatenate
3. Linked to external source: No
I have created dashboards before and never had this issue. If you have any advise, it would be much appreciated!

Have you updated your Xcelsius to the latest FP2? [Xcelsius 2008 Engage Fix Pack 2 (FP2) is available;
After that when you originally load the xlf file do you get any error message? Sounds like the xlf is not completely loaded making the spreadsheet unusable.
Is this only happening with one particular xlf?

MS Excel document as attachment to a PDF document does not open with a hot spot/link in the PDF

Hi, I have attached an excel file to a pdf document. I need to open this document in a new window by clicking an icon/hotspot in the pdf document to which it it attached.
I am using the Link Tool to create a hot spot around the icon in the pdf. In the next window I am using the Go to Page view option, opening the attachment to its first page and clicking the "set link" button.
For some reason, clicking the hotspot does not open the excel document as it does another pdf document.
Need help resolving this issue with attached documents.

Select a particular download file. Press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window. In the Open With section choose the desired default application from the dropdown menu then click on the Change All button.
For .dmg files use DiskImageMounter (System/Library/CoreServices/ folder.)
For .zip files use Archiver - same folder as above - or download TheArchiver - MacUpdate or CNET Downloads.

How Do You Create a link to a Word or Excel document

Naming, arranging linked photos with Excel document info

Hello!
I am attempting to make a newspaper layout consisting for graduates from our local high schools. I have been provided a disc with literally hundreds of pictures. The photos in the layout need to be arranged in alphabetical order, but the file names are non-sequential numbers that are not in order. However, I have been given an Excel document that has the file name with the name of the student in the cell next to it.
Is it possible to somehow use this data in the Excel document to properly arrange the images like I need them in the layout? If it has to be done manually, that's fine, but I thought it would be worth a shot to ask. We have InDesign CS3 and CS4.
Thank you!

It's probably easier to solve this outside of InDesign.
Construct a spreadsheet with string contatenation that produces commands to rename the files. Under Windows:
RENAME 1234.JPG F4332.JPG
or under Mac OS X:
mv 1234.jpg f4332.jpg
And then save the results to a .BAT file (Windows) or a .sh file (OSX) and then execute it (filename.bat or "sh file.sh").
Then all your files are renamed and you should be able to autoplace them in InDesign.
Or you could use Data Merge.

How do you HYPERLINK a web page address to an EXCEL document in Firefox like is possible in Explorer

How do you HYPERLINK a web page address to an EXCEL document in Firefox like is possible in Explorer?

When you follow a hyperlink in Excel, usually it should open in your default browser. You shouldn't have to do anything special in Excel to create the link when Firefox is your default browser compared with IE. However, the Insert Hyperlink dialog might work differently. I think it might be able to automatically pre-populate a URL from IE, while in Firefox, you need to copy the URL from Firefox's address bar and paste it into the Insert Link dialog.

Can not open linked files - word documents

Hi,
Currently running SLED10sp1 with Adobe Reader 7.0.8 at a school. Some educational CDs use PDF documents with links to various files on the CD, especially word .doc files.
For example, one of the CDs has a start.pdf file in the root of the CD. When you open it it has a menu of a couple of categories. When you click on one of the categories it open activities.pdf which has an index of various subjects.
When you click on one of the subjects Adobe Reader says "Adobe Reader could not open 'act-01-01.doc' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded)."
Click "OK" - the only option.
Adobe Reader says "The application "/media/path/do/act-01-01.doc" is set to be launched by this PDF file. The file may contain programs, macros, or viruses that could potentially harm your computer. Only open the file if you are sure it is safe. If this file was placed by a trusted person or program, you can click Open to view the file."
Buttons available are "Do not show this message again", "Do Not Open" and "Open".
Clicking Open does nothing.
When double clicking act-01-01.doc file from Nautilus it opens fine using OpenOffice.org 2.1's Writer.
When running Adobe Reader from the command line the following output is generated when clicking on the link to act-01-01.doc:
sh: -c: line 0: syntax error near unexpected token `)'
sh: -c: line 0: `DISPLAY=localhost:10.0 ; export DISPLAY ; ( ) &'
Then when the "Open" button is clicked:
sh: /media/0731401689/technology/activities/chap01/act-01-01.doc: cannot execute binary file
The "Allow documents to open other files and launch other application" tick box is ticked in the Preferences.
Can someone please help.
Thanks.
Regards,
Rob

Thanks Salil, that works for one CD, the other CDs have spaces in files and directories and it looks like Adobe Reader doesn't know how to deal with the spaces.
For example:
In a terminal I execute:
acroread /media/MQ_9_NSW_5_3_SE/PDF/MQ9\ NSW\ 5_3\ Tech\ files.pdf
When I click on any of the links that link to a word doc files Adobe Reader exhibits the exact same behaviour as in my initial post.
This is the path of the file Adobe Reader tries to open:
/media/MQ_9_NSW_5_3_SE/Technology files/MQ9 NSW 5_3 TI GC programs/TI GC word docs/010-CoinflipTI.doc.
When I click open, this is what echos in the terminal:
sh: /media/MQ_9_NSW_5_3_SE/Technology: No such file or directory
I hope there is a workaround for this because the mime fix only helped me with 1 out of about 10 CDs.
For Adobe Reader to open Excel documents would I append:
application/msexel; ooffice "%s"
to /etc/mailcap?
Thanks in advanced.

Rob

"An error occurred sending the command to the application" When trying to open excel document from outlook 2007

Error message "An error occurred sending the command to the application" When trying to open excel document from outlook 2007.
OS: Windows Server 2008 R2
If I save the document then it opens fine, messing with default file associations does not resolve this problem, I've googled for ir it and some suggest unticking compatibility mode or "run as admin" for excel application, neither is selected in my case.
Outlook is configured to run as remote application from remoteApp server, this error is only occurring for one user, for others excel documents open just fine.

Hi
Thank you for using
Microsoft Office for IT Professionals Forums.
From your description, we can Create a trusted location follow these steps
Click the Microsoft Office Button , and then click Excel Options.
Click Trust Center, click Trust Center Settings, and then click
Trusted Locations.
If you want to create a trusted location that is not local to your computer, select the Allow trusted locations on my network (not recommended) check
box.
Click Add new location.
IMPORTANT We recommended that you don't make your entire
Documents or My Documents folder a trusted location. Doing so creates a larger target for a hacker to potentially exploit and increases your security risk. Create a subfolder within Documents or My Documents, and make only that folder a trusted location.
In the Path box, type the name of the folder that you want to use as a trusted location, or click Browse to
locate the folder.
If you want to include subfolders as trusted locations, select the
Subfolders of this location are also trusted check box.
In the Description box, type what you want to describe the purpose of the trusted location.
Click OK.
More detailed information you can refer to this link:

I can do for you, please feel free to let me know.
Hope that helps.

How do I convert an excel (2008) document to Numbers? When I drag the Excel document onto the Numbers icon I get, "Import error. The file format is invalid"

How can I convert an Excel (2008) document to Numbers. When I drag the Excel document onto the Numbers icon I get, "Import error. The file format is invalid.

That extension identifies the most current Excel file format, a format that can be opened by Numbers '09 (and by Numbers '08).
A check with Numbers '09 shows it capable of opening .xlsx files when right-clicked (and Numbers chose as the application to open, when double-clicked (if Numbers has been set as the default application to open this type of file, or when dragged to the Numbers icon in the dock.
I see two possibilities for Numbers inability to open it and the message you receive:
1. The file is not actually an Excel file, and the sender has added the .xlsx extension to the filename manually.
2. The file is an Excel file, but has somehow been corrupted.
Have you tried opening the file with a different application? The open source Office suites, OpenOffice.org, LibreOffice and NeoOffice can also open .xlsx files. If they're unable to open this one, that would point toward the file itself being faulty. You can download these applications from their rspective websites, linked in the names above. All request a donation to support future development, but only Neo requires one to have been made recently, and that only for the current release (which won't be necessary to open .xlsx files).

Barry

How do I get a refund? I have tried to use this converter to change a PDF to a word document or excel document three of four times and it always fails.. I want my money back but don't see any way to communicate with Adobe.

How do I get a refund? I have tried to use this converter to change a PDF to a word document or excel document three of four times and it always fails.. I want my money back but don't see any way to communicate with Adobe. i really just want my money back. Very disappointed. Also disappointed that it is so hard to find a way to communicate with Adobe that I have to resort to asking this question in this forum.

You need to use the CHAT link in support to reach Adobe staff. Be sure you know the product name you are trying to cancel, Adobe have lots of products, several converters etc. I think it is ExportPDF you have, most likely.

Interactive Reports - how to add a link to a document?

Hi there,
I have an interactive report that displays a list of items, I would like to add a column which displays a link for each item in the report, the link should display the Word/Excel document which is located somewhere on our network. The path to the document is stored in the table along with the items. Does anybody know how I can do this?
Thanks...

I got an answer from the Edge Commons dream team and I am very grateful to them :
"The problem that you bumped into was that you hadn't included a valid URL so far. We weren't sure if you wanted to include them within the SVG file or if you wanted to implement the functionality within Edge Animate. We came up with a solution for the latter one, with a simple switch in the js code:
You have to type in the appropriate URL of course for all the cases."
I have to share the final result:

How to link a PDF, word, & Excel file in fla by clicking
a button?

sorry il try be more clear, ok so the user selects a server from a list as well as adds many other details then clicks the create button so then it is directed to a page with the report.
The report contains the information which the user has just created, so the server name will be there.
Now what i want to achieve is to create a link with this report called 'download'. So it is at this stage i would like to know if in the select statement if i can say, eg;
<code>
if (column) ---> server_name = 'server1'
link to this document
else if (column) ---> server_name = 'server2'
link to a different document
<code>
So i want to link to specific server spec document depending on that server name...
