Message during opening a generated xls-file.

Hello together,
do you have experience with the bursting off XLS Files with BI Publisher?
We produce such files. But when we open the files we feceive the following messsage:
The file you are trying to open, 'Filename.xls' is in a different format then specified by the file extension. Verify that the file is not corrupted and is from trusted source befort opening the file. Do you want to open the file now?
The File works fine. But the customer of this file is worried about this message.
Is it psossible to hide this message?
Regards
Stefan

WebDynpro: Problem with opening the generated xls file

Hi,
I am new to the WebDynpro for Java world.
I am trying to learn by referring to the sample tutorials on SDN.
I tried executing the sample project for the exporting to excel.
After I down load the generated xls file to my computer and try opening it I get an error message from excel : "Microsoft Excel Viewer cannot open files of this type".
I get the same error message if I try opening the file directly instead of first downloading it.
Please help me out with possible reasons for this.
Thnx in anticipation,
Pravesh Puria.

Hi,
Is the content type : application/vnd.ms-excel.
I guess the problem is with identification of the content type.

How do I open an encrypted xls-file?

I have a sudden problem with xls-files that just started to bather me. I have used iWorks and Numbers for 5 years now and this is the first time I have faced problems with xls-files. Let me explain. On my work iMac I try to open a saved xls-file ( that I have received via e-mail and saved on my hard drive ). When opening it, the following text appear: " The file is encrypted and cannot be opened ". This occur with all xls-files - not just one. Have I done something to the preferences or ....
What should I do ?

Same problem here, but file author says not encrypted, but does contain locked cells.
Could be Numbers can't read locked cells?

Dates change from Numbers generated xls file when copy/pasted

I've saved a Numbers '09 file as xls and sent it to an Excel 2003 for Windows user. The file looks great when they open it in Excel 2003. But, when they copy and paste data into a different Excel 2003 file, the date changes about 4 years, which seems to make this a 1900/1904 issue. But why? If Excel 2003 opened up the original xls file generated by Numbers ok, why can't the dates be copy and pasted into another Excel 2003 spreadsheet?

Apple uses a year pattern that starts with the first day of the first leap year in the 20th century.
Microsoft originally adopted a year pattern that began with the first day of the last year of the 19th century (1900) which, although it was a year divisible by 4, was not a leap year.
Later, MS added the 1904 start pattern, but kept the1900 start pattern as well.
What is likely happening in the case you describe is this:
When Numbers traslates the document into Excel format and saves it, Numbers apparenly includes the flag that tells Excl 'use the 1904 start for dates.' Excel open the file, reads the code, and sets the calendar accordingly.
When the Excel 2003 user then copies the data frm that document, the copy picks up only the date serial number(s), and does not get the coded flag identifying which date system is in use.
That data is then pasted into the new Excel document, and with no flag to tell it different, Excel uses its 'normal' setting—the calendar starts on January 1, 1900—and all dates are interpreted as being four years earlier than they were in the original Numbers table or in the first Excel sheet.
I'd assume there is a setting that can be changed in Excel. Where to find it/how to use it would be a good question for an Excel community discussion site. (Although it's possible an answer might arrive here as well.)

Open a generated pdf file in new window

Dear all,
I'm using JDev ADF 11.1.1.4.0
I use the command button method to generate pdf file with JasperReports and I store it into the public folder /reports/test5.pdf. To open this file I can use goLink or goButton with target frame _blank, but how can I open this file automatically after generation?
I was reading about fileDownloadActionListener, but it's not what I need, I just want to open the file in new window browser.
Any help will be appreciated.

How to generate .xls file on a button click in Forms 10g

Hi
I am using forms 10g.
On a button click I want to generate a .csv or .xls file (data in these file should be fetched form database).
Could you please tell me how can I do this?
Regards

Hello 576726,
where do you want to store the file?
On the client? If it uses Windows as OS and has Excel installed you can use CLIENT_OLE2, otherwise you can write files using CLIENT_TEXT_IO.
On the server? You can use utl_file or a package that allowes to write formatted/multiple worksheets like
https://xml-spreadsheet.samplecode.oracle.com/ or
https://exceldocumenttype.samplecode.oracle.com/
Another solution by Friedhold Matz is linked at Re: Gride in Oracle Formns 6i

Extra Rows in the Crystal Report while generating XLS files

I was tring to gerate a xls file in crystal reports which has four sub-reports but while getting the output it gives a blank row for every 51 rows or so one of the subreport which has bult data. Let me know if any one can help me out in this consern.

What about answers to questions 2 and 3?
2) What CR Service Pack are you on?
4) Assuming you are using a stand-alone version of CR, how's the export from the CR designer?
It may be that continuing this thread is not worth while if I can not get the basic info(?). Creating a phone case may be an option for you:

Error reading/writing file message when opening garageband and/or files

I've been recently getting this message when I open garageband and files
"Error reading/writing file\U201Ccom.apple.garageband.cs\U201D
I've been in and repaired disk permissions and all that it says it is all fine, reinstall garageband and message still comes up, weird.
not only is garageband being a nuisance, Mac OS X 10.6.2 is being a pain when shutting down telling me to restart the computer. This only happened since upgrading to 10.6. No one as yet knows this promble so I'm gonna have to ring apple and see what is going on here.
and also my other problem is that mac doesn't seem as snappy anymore I noticed this before upgrading to 10.6 and made no difference when "cleanly" installing 10.6. I get a colour wheel popping up and i'm having to wait with simple tasks. iMac only 2 years old.

i give up with this discussion forum no no one knows anything

After downloading PSE 13, receive error message cannot open windows temporary internet files

After downloading Photoshop elements 13, I receive an error message as it tries to open (but instead opens my PSE 9 application) and this message appears: "cannot open C:Users\Spears\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files\Content.1E5\AV8ZNMD1\Photoshop Elements_13_LS25_win64.7z"
I have been trying various fixes to download this for 2 days now. Can someone please help me?
Thanks!

Did you check if the Firefox file is in that location?
If it isn't there then do a clean (re)install:
* Download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
* Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
* Don't remove personal data if you uninstall the current version.
* It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere (not in the Firefox program folder) and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.
If the file is there then do a malware check with some malware scan programs. 
You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware. 
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of the database before doing a scan.

Opening .doc and .xls files

AW 6.2.9
Have been able to open most .doc and .xls attachments up till now.
Had trouble and now can't (.doc files will open in textEdit). Reloaded AW but all that happens is that when I click on the open button the list of files disappears. I am not even told that it cannot open the file.
iMac4,1 Intel Core Duo Mac OS X (10.4.8)

My guess as to why you have been able to open these until recently is that the files you received were not saved with updated versions of Word & Excel. Until earlier this year I was able to open both PC & Mac versions with AppleWorks. PC versions were the first to not open but if I re-saved them with Office: Mac I could open them. Then, after a couple of Office: Mac updates, I can no longer open them. NeoOffice is a reasonable alternative.

Hi TS,
Your profile shows MAC OS X 10.7.4, but your Tags include mavericks. Mavericks is OS X 10.9.x
I suspect you have Numbers 3 on your machine. Do a Spotlight search for Numbers. If Numbers 3 is on your machine, it will be in your Applications folder. Numbers 2 (Numbers '09) has been moved to a folder called iWork '09 within your Applications folder.
Wayne Contello has written a User Tip for working with the old and new versions of iWork.
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-6991
The console log (which I can't interpret) mentions a server. Is this iCloud?
More information will lead to a solution .

Can we avoid the message while opening downloaded excel file.

Hi,
I have an interesting issue.
In my scenario I am downloading characteristics value from COID.
Through background job we are getting that report in our Out look mail box. Report format is XLS.
While opening the attached XLS file we are getting one message.
The message is as follows
The file is not in a recognizable format
     If you know the file is from another program which is incompatible with Microsoft excel click cancel, then open this file in its original application. If you want to open the file later in Microsoft excel. Save it in a format that is compatible, such as text format.
     If you suspect the file is damaged, click help for more information about solving the problem.
     If you still want to see what text is contained in the file, click OK. Then click finish in the text import wizard
if we ok it the file is opening properly
So My question is Can we avoid this message ?
