Open Sharepoint File Launches application to Open Dialog

We are experiencing the following behavior on one machine in our group. The environment is SharePoint Online 2013, with libraries synchronized to the user PC. User PC is Windows 8.1 with Office 2013.
When you double-click a SharePoint file to open it, it launches the appropriate Office program, but it launches to the "Open" dialog (open local file, use a template, etc.)
If you close the program (Word, Excel, Visio, etc.) and double-click the file again to open it, it typically opens properly. On some occasions, it behaves as described above again.
Once the file is successfully opened, it opens properly from there forward.
When the file is actually opening, the splash screen indicates it is "downloading" the file, and there is a delay. The file is actually synchronized and has a local copy.
If you open a true local copy of any MS file format (not in a synchronized folder), the files open properly.
I suspect this is an issue with the office document cache or something, but I find no fix for this behavior.

When I open Contacts file in Applications a dialog box states "All Contacts (no cards)"

When I open Contacts file in Applications a dialog box states "All Contacts (no cards)" My contacts are still located on the computer because I can still send emails as the contacts address is show as soon as I start to enter the name.
Therefore I am unabled to view the full contacts listing.
How do I restore this list?

Hello Barney-15E
I was not aware of the existance of Previous Recipients.
However I have only added my contacts via the Contacts v Card.
I have selected all contacts and clicked "Add to Contacts" All now restored to original location.
Thanks Barney-15E for your prompt response.

Opening file also opens "File Open" dialog

I have recently noticed a changed behaviour in my Mac OS X Mountain Lion. Every time I double click a file to open it (Excel Spreadsheet, PDF File, etc.) the application gets launched and opens the file. But it also shows the File Open dialog (Excel, Preview, etc...). This is quite annoying because Excel for example opens a blank spreadsheet when I click Cancel on the File Open dialog. Preview at least does nothing. But I still have to dismiss the extra dialog.
Any idea how to fix this?

InfoSpoke fails with message "Could not open file on application server"

BW Experts,
I created an InfoSpoke that is configured to extract to a flat file. The name of the file is specified using a logical filename. During extraction, the infospoke reports the error message "Could not open file on application server" adnd marks the extraction process as red(failed). I have tried to run the InfoSpoke in background mode and in dialog mode and the same error appears. After i run in dialog mode, i checked SU53 for authorization errors and did not find any. I also tried changing the Logical filename setup in transaction FILE to a more "friendly" directory in which i'm sure i have authorizations (e.g. my UNIX home directory) and im still getting errors.
Can you please share your thoughts on this? Any help will greatly appreciated. I also promise to award points.

Hi Nagesh,
Thanks for helping out.
If i configure the InfoSpoke to download to a file using "File Name" option and also check the "Application server" checkbox, the extract works correctly (extraction to the defualt SAP path and filename=infospoke name). If i configure the InfoSpoke to download to the local workstation, the InfoSpoke also works correctly. It's only when i configure it to download to the application server and use the "Logical filename" option, that i encounter a failed extract.
Here are the messages is the Open Hub Monitor:
(red icon) Request No.147515
0 Data Records
Runtime 1 sec.
(red icon)Run No. 1
0 Data Records

Could not open file on application server RSBO 214
Request 147515 was terminated before extraction RSBO 326

If i clink on the error message, no messages nor clues are displayed. Note, this is a new InfoSpoke that is currently in the dev system.
Please help.

Iweb installed on a new computer but i have this error message: Can't open file "~/Library/Application Support/iWeb/Domain.sites2."

I have just installed ilife on my new computer from my disk. I have several backups of my webpage from my old computer. Everything would be great if I could just run the program. When I click the icon for iWeb I get the following message: Can’t open file “~/Library/Application Support/iWeb/Domain.sites2.”
Somebody please help! I desperately need to update my website.

In Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.

File Open Dialog Box

Under my install of Vista Enterprise on an AD network, I'm am not getting the "computer" option to access local and network drives when I select "File/Open". All I get is the redirected "home" directory for that user. True for all Adobe applications (have the latest Creative Suite 4). Other Windows apps using Windows file/open dialog box can get to the network. Tech support said I should have an option to select the OS dialog box, but I do not see that on my install.

In Edit > Preferences > File Handling, uncheck "Enable Version Cue". This is where you will find it in CS4; earlier versions may have slight variations. In some versions, you may also get a checkbox in the file open dialog (down at the lower left, as I recall) that lets you select OS dialog or Adobe dialog. Also, in Bridge (again CS4), go to Edit > Preferences > Startup Scripts, and uncheck Adobe Version Cue CS4. (I have this unchecked, and even with Enable Version Cue checked in PS I don't get the Adobe dialog or the option to set it, so the setting in bridge seems to be the master.)

File Open Dialog Box Hiding Behind - Urgent

Hi All
We have write code for Opening File in File Open Dialog Box. But its stays in inactive mode behind SBO. Once we press ALT +TAB only then we can see it. How to Activate it or make it visible automatically in SAP Business One.
The Code for Opening File we have written is in C#
<b>OpenFileDialog objOpenFileDialog = new OpenFileDialog();
objOpenFileDialog.InitialDirectory = System.Windows.Forms.Application.StartupPath + "
objOpenFileDialog.Filter = "Excel files (.xls)|.xls";
if(objOpenFileDialog.ShowDialog()!= DialogResult.Cancel)
string ExcelFilePath = objOpenFileDialog.FileName;
}</b>
Thanks in Advance
Asutosh

Common problem... Do the following instead.
System.Windows.Forms.Form form = new System.Windows.Forms.Form();
form.TopMost = true;
OpenFileDialog objOpenFileDialog = new OpenFileDialog();
objOpenFileDialog.InitialDirectory = System.Windows.Forms.Application.StartupPath + "\";
objOpenFileDialog.Filter = "Excel files (*.xls)|*.xls";
if(objOpenFileDialog.ShowDialog(form)!= DialogResult.Cancel)
string ExcelFilePath = objOpenFileDialog.FileName;
That should do it

File Open Dialog Box on Button Click

Hi
I am devloping some webpages using JSF and RichFaces..
I would like to appear File open Dialog box to choose single file and multiple files and another Folder chooser dialog box to choose the folder content..
Both the operation should be performed while choosing the Button Choose File and Choose Folder...
I have already tried Input type = file and aphace tomohawk..
But i all the components are coming with text box and browse button..
I dont need that. I need to open the dialog box once i clilck my choose file r folder button and it should work browser indepent.....

HTML doesn't provide you the possibility to select multiple files or select folders at a single browse. Thus JSF can't do any much for you. Best what you can do is to write a signed applet or web start application which does the task. The Mojarra Scales component library has a ready-to-use component which embeds an applet which does that task. Check [https://scales.dev.java.net/multiFileUpload.html].

File open dialog box broken in all apps! ( 10.5.6/7

Hi, I've got a very odd problem that Apple phone support seem to be unable to solve.
Basically, every file open dialog box system wide is broken, from file->open in textedit to the browse button on websites for uploading files.
When trying to display this finder panel, it beachballs for ten seconds then gives me a grey area where the usual finder browser usually resides and the open / cancel buttons at the bottom of the panel.
I've repaired permissions which had no effect.
The finder works perfectly other than it's little file open dialog which other applications use...
Updating to 10.5.7 did nothing to fix the issue.
Does anybody have any idea how to resolve this?
Thanks!
chris.

V.K. had you create another user to eliminate the possibility that it is a preference file causing the problem. It was reported the problem remained with another user, so the problem is system wide, not with a single user's preferences.
The Archive & Install is relatively painless. It only replaces the system and leaves everything else untouched. What is replaced is saved in a new folder it creates named Previous System, in case there is something there you might want to bring back (most often 3rd party files, but I have never needed anything from the Previous System folder).
The only hassle with the A & I is resetting preferences. If you check the option during the A & I to retain user settings, there is usually not very much that needs resetting.

Open dialog box in application server.

hai frnds,
i am using the following FM for open dialog box in application.
CALL FUNCTION 'F4_DXFILENAME_TOPRECURSION'
    EXPORTING
      i_location_flag = 'A'
      i_server = '?'
      i_path = f_app
      filemask = c_fnh_mask
       FILEOPERATION = 'R'
    IMPORTING
    O_LOCATION_FLAG = 'P'
    O_SERVER = '?'
      o_path = f_app
    ABEND_FLAG =
    EXCEPTIONS
      rfc_error = 1
      OTHERS = 2.
the path is been copied to the input box but when i am trying to open the file selected it is not retrieving the data and also the given path is changed to upper case. i had tried to change it in start of selection. but the same is hapenning. also my client requested some of the following...
1) the dialog should open at '//sapglobal_users'
2) the files should be sorted in desc group by date and time of creation.
3) the full path name should be visible in the dialog box which is not hapenning (i.e., if the path is > the visible length the invisible part is truncated. This shd not happen.)

Can't open file "~/Library/Application Support/iWeb/Domain.sites"

I was working on iWeb today, doing the usual adding pictures, and gave a few pages some color, and a few pictures here and there.
I restart my computer, because as usual, I almost have no memory left. When the computer is running again, I opened iWeb, and I get this odd message:
Can't open file "~/Library/Application Support/iWeb/Domain.sites"
Why is this here? I didn't do anything weird to trigger such message. The site was working perfectly fine! I tried taking the domain file to the desktop, then opening it once iWeb launches from there, and same message appears. I put it back to its place, and tried putting the iWeb plist on the desktop, and same deal!
Everything is back in its place, I haven't changed or triggered anything to deserve this. I ran Onyx, full optimization update. I restarted computer, and conducted a full disk permission repairs. Only 1 error found out of another app.
My computer is healthy, my programs are running fine. What is going on? Does anyone know how I can fix this?

Hi
Whaow 3.1GB. I'm sure iWeb has problems with that. I have the same problem with my iWeb. I have about 100 BLOG pages with a lot of pictures. Although iWeb scales the pictures when publishing (good!) it does not scale them when they are stored in the domains file/dir (bad!) So if you have an 8MP camera, this adds up after a while.
You can open the comains file and try to figure out what causes the trouble. (Right click/CTRL click, open content) sort on size to see if you have some extremely large stuff in there (Movies???) Take them out and try to make them smaller.
Good luck!!

Spotlight in "Open Dialog" fail to find "Numbers" file

Hi,
when i use the spotlight search tool inside the open dialog box from Numbers it seem to be unable to find "Numbers file".
Let say I have 4 files on my Hard Drive :
- FileName1.xls
- FileName1.Numbers
- FileName2.xls
- FileName2.Numbers
If I type "FileName" in Finder > Spotlight It get all the 4 files.
If I type "FileName" in Numbers > Open Dialog > Spotlight it get :
- FileName1.xls
- FileName2.xls
Either I check or not different search options (filename / content / Start / My iMac ...)
Any idea what's wrong ?
Thank you.

Bonjour,
Concernant votre dernier message :
oui, j'ai vu votre capture. C'est du Page, pas du Numbers :-) une différence serait possible, mais lire la suite ci-dessous...
La corruption d'index est une piste. Mais comme Spotlight trouve mes fichiers dans d'autres conditions, cela indiquerait un Index correct. Toutefois, ce point est très technique et je ne ferrais aucun pari sur la "mécanique" d'Index Spotlight. J'ai donc utilisé l'outils recommandé dans la discussion donnée en lien (je n'aime pas trop l'idée qu'un outil tiers bidouille les entrailles de l'OS d'Apple, mais bon). Apparemment l`'outils détruit l'index et Spotlight se met au travail et ré-index le disque.
Mais cela n'a rien changé.
j'aimerais approfondire un peu si vous le coulez bien. Avec 37 805 points vous devez avoir quelques ressources en réserves ;-)
Appelons ça le "bogue" ; même s'il peut s'agir d'un problème de paramètre quelconque modifié maladroitement dans mes préférences systèmes ... En explorant différentes pistes et en vous les soumettant je peux peut être vous mettre sur la voix d'une solution qui ne vous vient pas immédiatement à l'esprit car très spécifique à mon cas particulier.
Nous sommes d'accord sur ce point : la recherche dans Numbers > Ouvrir est une implémentation de Spotlight. Manifestement cette implémentation est pleines d'options et présente des différences significatives avec le Bureau.
Exemple 1 :
Dans Finder la recherche par type > autre est un champ vide.
Dans Numbers la recherche par type > autre est une liste de choix.
Il semble que Spotlight dans Numbers ne prennent en considération que les fichiers que Numbers peut ouvrir. Et pour cela il se base sur l'extension. Et le bogue fait penser que les développeurs auraient oublié l'extension ".numbers" !
------------ EDIT
J'ai effacé tout une série de tests tant la découverte finale est la plus importante ...
En modifiant l'extension d'une application en .numbers elle est apparue dans ma fenêtre Numbers !
J'en conclu que "mon" Numbers n'affiche via spotlight QUE les fichiers portant une extension compatible (xls, cwk, txt) ET que le fichier est de type "binaire / app / ???".
L'erreur serait sur ce dernier aspect : les fichiers numbers ne sont PAS des fichiers "binaire / app".
Ou orienter les recherches, puisque, manifestement, ça marche sur votre Mac ?
Merci d'avoir étudier cette longue réponse.
--Edit
Numbers trouve les .php (des fichiers text assimilable à des executables) mais ils sont grisés donc impossible de les ouvrir.
Là je dis, ça devient du n'importe quoi .... :-(

Making pull down menus and file open dialogs speak

Hi,
I'm trying to create some applications that include speech
assistance for the visually impaired. there are two things that are
causing problems:
1. I can't make the file open dialog boxes speak. I would
like to emulate the behavior of third party screen reader
applications that speak the identites of GUI elements as the user
tabs through them. I am able to do this for custom dialogs made
with the MUI Xtra by putting voiceSpeak commands in the callback
handler so that as each widget gets focus during tabbing, it speaks
its identity. But this doesn't appear to be possible with file open
dialogs created with FileXtra.
2. I have created pull down menus using installMenu. This
works great, but I would like the user to be able to navigate these
menus using the arrow keys, and have each menu item speak as it
navigated to.
If anyone has any ideas about how to accomplish these things
in D11, I would be very grateful.
thanks.
