Problem in downloading excel sheet

Hi All,
We have a WD Java application, where in one screen we are displaying a few records in a table. We also have a option to download and save the data in the form of a excel sheet on the click of a button.
Now the problem is, the downloding to excel option is working fine if we use IE version 6.0. If we use teh same application in IE 8 just a empty window is opening.
What can be the problem for this? Is there any settings that needs to be made in IE 8 or the problem is with the code?
Regards.

Hi Becky,
I think browser version is an issue, may be the JAR file which you are using for excel work may be not compitable with the IE's version.
Let me explore and will get back to you.
Deepak!!!
Pls find below comment from Armin from SAP:- you have to look for WD patch for this if sap has already released...:)

IE8 will certainly be supported in the future as soon as the tests have been passed succesfully. Only those browsers/versions mentioned in the PAM are supported officially for the different Web Dynpro versions.

Problem when printing Excel sheets when downloaded from Portal

Hey,
I am using the desformat=spreadsheet option to generate Excel files for my reports downloaded from Portal and this works fine. The trouble is that when users go to print the downloaded Excel reports it seems that the scale of the report changes and everything is made smaller to try and fit on the one page. The font size decreases, and the scale of the report decreases to the point where the report is nearly unreadable when printed. But when just viewing the reports in Excel everything looks fine.
Any suggestions on why this is happening and how it can be fixed?
Thanks

Hello hermannedem,
If you cannot see any content on pages you printed or in print preview, the cause might be margins which are set too high.
#In order to check the margins, we need to go to ''File'' > ''Page Setup''.
#Once this is done, switch to the ''Margins & Header/Footer'' tab.
#Check what's set there under ''Margins''.
The following are the default values for ''Margins'':
'''Right''': 12.7
'''Top''': 12.7
'''Left''': 12.7
'''Bottom''': 12.7
Check these values accordingly and change them if necessary.
Please let us know, if this resolves the issue.
Thanks!

thanks in advance

The problem here is, you have setted the content type as excel sheet and you are writing some String content into the output stream. when excel tries to read the String content it will surely throw some error. Lot of excel APIs are available in the market to generate excel sheets.
you can find one in the below URL.

Problems while displaying EXCEL sheets within OUTLOOK

Dear all,
I have the following problem:
a user within the company receives sometimes emails containing excel sheets. the user wants to use/work with the preview within outlook, unfortunately the displayed values are different compared with the values if the sheet is opened with excel.
Now I'd want to ask if you had such a problem and also found a solution for that?
Best regards and thanks in advance
Oli

Hi Oli,
Does this only happen to these specific spreadsheets or all? Are these fixed manually entered value? Or references to other sources?
The previewers in Microsoft Outlook provide additional security against potentially harmful code to help protect you from malicious code,
active content embedded in attachments (including scripts, macros, and ActiveX controls) is disabled during a preview.
Thus, a preview might not show the most up-to-date content in the file. To see the most complete, up-to-date content, you need open the file in related Microsoft Office application.

Installing Control Panel 2/3 causes problems in opening Excel sheets

After installing the control panel 3.0, I can't open Excel sheets properly anymore. A message says that the Excel sheet contains corrupted data and Excel can try to restore them. After confirming this, the excel sheet shows opened but all formating is gone.
I had this issue yet with Control Panel 2.0. After some research on the web I found out that the problem is caused by the CP for Windows. I then switched back to CP V 1.1.4 and the excel sheets opened properly again.
Thanks for any advise. I'm using Windows 7 and Excel/Outlook 2007.

You are downloading software illegally. ShapeShifter is shareware so unless you indicate that you paid for it I don't feel it is appropriate to post your issue in this forum setting.

Problem with Protected Excel sheets through OLE

Hi Friends
We are facing the problem with the protected sheets in excel, when we are accessing worksheets via SAP.
We can insert the values in the protected sheet and we can do other manupalations, but when we are trying to do the autofit for the protected sheet via SAP, then its throwing an error while making it as Visible in SAP ECC 6.0.
Though it is valid, because even when we do in the excel itself, it wont allow the user to shrink the columns, but this one is possible in ECC 5.0 and we can make excel is visible on the screen.
I would like to know is this SAP Version problem or anything else apart from this? and I would like to know is there anyway to unprotect and protect the sheet through ABAP program with out a password. Now my clients wants the autofit though its protected.
Please give me any suggestions.
Thanks
Praveen

its bug with ECC 5.0. If we want to make it auto fit we need to unprotect, then auto fit.
Later we can protect again

Winshuttle problem with new excel sheet

Hi ,
I am getting Winshuttle problem after the excel upgraded to latest version.
when i open the winshuttle from icon, i dont get any prompt/no information.
Any ideas fromo experts ?
Siva

We solved the problem by going into the performance settings and disabling the "fade" functionality in Windows. To get to the screen to make the changes in Windows, open the Control Panel and navigate to "System". Open "System" and click on the "Advanced Settings" tab. Next, click on the button marked "Settings" in the "Performance" area. In the "Visual Affects" tab, clear the checkbox for three "Fade... " options.
I tested this successfully, even for users who have no administrative rights on their computer.
Please try this solution and see what results you receive. The strange thing in our situation is that the OS image used for laptops does not suffer the problem with Bex and WinShuttle as does the OS image used for desktop computers.
BG, are you from the UK? I ask as I watch a few UK television programs, and I notice they use "sorted" in the same manner us Americans use "taken care of" or as us Southerners say "figured out".

Problem while creating Excel sheet from TSQL

Hi,
I am trying to create an excel sheet using tsql in production server, script is running without any error however when i am trying to open the excel file it is giving an error that may be the file is corrut or in used by some other process or is read
only.
Same script is running fine on test server and i am able to open it. i am having SYSADMIN rights on both the servers.
i think there are some OLE DB driver issue.
using TSQL (SP_OA.... procedures) to create the excel file.
System information:
OS: 64 bit; SQL Server 2005: 32 Bit; Office 2010: 32 Bit.
Can any one help me?
Thanks

Might be a stretch but your situation looks like one I encountered earlier. Are you running this in a SSIS? Your office is 32 bits but your OS is 64 bits, when running a SSIS from the agent under a 64 bit system and accessing and access
a 32 bit driver, you must check the option to "Use 32 bit runtime" under execution option.
If this is not the case, I would look for an option to execute in 32 bit mode or see if there are available 64 bits drivers.
