Problem with opening MS Excel files through Portal

Hi All,
I have a user that is complaining about the behaviour of MS Excel files in the Portal. The MS Excel files do not match their behaviour at the windows level. The issue has to do with how MS Excel files never seem to open in a maximized sate when you open them from the portal. The same cannot be said about MS Word files. The behaviour of MS word files is consistent between windows and portal.
Solutions will be REWARDED.
Thanks & Regards,

Hi Hussain,
I hav uploaded the excel file into my KM contentafter that when i try to open it , it does not open as maximized.
Let me explain:
I create a new excel file on my desktop:
I open this file:
I maximize the workbook and save:
I close Excel and then open the file right back up:
I notice that Excel and the workbook open up maximized. I close Excel again.
I now upload the file to the portal:
I then open the file from here:
It is noticed that the Excel is not maximized. We would like for it to behave as it does from the desktop. In other words, if it is saved as maximized, it should open from the portal that way. If it is saved as half way open, it should open that way from the portal.
I have found that MS Word documents behave in the portal as they do on the desktop. I create an MS Word file on my desktop:
There appears to be something portal related that prevents MS Excel files from opening maximized.
Hope you will be abl to solve the message.
Thanks & Regards,
Krishnen Subramanian.

Problem with opening the .fmx file through hyperlink

I am trying to open a .fmx file through hyperlink. After clicking on the hyperlink a dilogue box opens up and asks for "open from the remote server", "save on the local disk" and cancel. If I click on open the .fmx file opens up and applications starts working.
Problem is "I do not want this dialogue box to be opened after clicking on the hyperlink". I tried to change the mime type and changed the setting of Internet explorer. But it does not work.
Any suggestion will be appreciated.
thanx in advance

whever i refresh the entire application in the tomact then its been recognizedMaybe you're creating and downloading it asynchronously so that the creation of the file isn't finished yet while you're about to download it.

Problem while opening the excel files

Hi
In my system , i have excel reports in my server disk . And i am opening the excel files through an action class like /viewReport.do?id=23 .....and thus from the action class i open my excel file .
After opening one excel file , i try to open another excel by clicking that link , then my system often hangs else excel shows an error saying "a report with name viewReport.do is already open " even though both of these files are different on the server
How can i avoid this ??
The reason why i am opening the excel file through an action class is , i need to perform some operations before opening that excel report
i tried by setting the
response.setHeader("Content-disposition","attachment; filename=myWorksheet.xls");
and i kept on changing the names but that doesnt work
Can any one let me know how to go abt this ??

Hi Sir,
I found you posted the issue in the
APS.NET forum, and you seems use some code to open the file. Have you tried the last link in the thread?
Then, let's do some test to narrow down the issue.
I notice that you are using Office 2010, does the issue occur only with 'Reachlocal.xlsx' or every existed file?
If every Excel file has the issue, please try the following methods:
Open the file in
safe mode.
Repair Office 2010.
On the other hand, this problem might be caused by malware on the affected machine. There are now two known variants of malware which causes this problem: Win32/Crilock.A and
Win32/Buma!rts. They have both been identified as a new family of
ransomware.

Problem while opening an excel file

Hi
I am trying to open an excel file by clicking a link where it goes to action class and then sets the content type to excel and I am opning it from there�but the strange thing is that a file download opens with open/save/cancel but in the same window but it is showing a warning in the dailog box(windows warning which comes as an exclamatory mark) saying "This type of file could harm your computer if it conatins malicious code" and on cliking open it shows a dialog saying "Could not open http://localhost:8080/context/myaction.do?fileName=3.xls" .Dont know why its trying to opne my action url rather than it should look for 3.xls in my folder
Any clue on this would be helpful

Hi,
Try saving the file and then check if extension is xls. If you are not able to do anything (open, save), try to call the same application (file), from other machine, as sometimes browser gives the problem.
If still problem occurs, then copy paste the code for setting the content type here.
Best of luck,

Problem with opening a indd file in CC 2014.

When I'm trying to open a 5.5 .indd-file in CC 2014 on my Windows computer, I get this error message: 'Either the file does not exist or you do not have permission to open it or the file is used by another program'. However my collague has no problem with opening the document on his Mac computer. I guess it has something to do with a kind of setting in my CC 2014. Can anyone help me?

Nothing to do with ID. It really means what it says - your file permissions are hosed and it being an ID file this could include things like fonts or placed images referenced within it.

Problem with opening various text files in notepad through java

Hi friends,
I need to open any .txt file in notepad by running the code in Java.I could open the notepad through java but not a perticular file.I dont even want to hard code my program that only one perticular file will open through it.I want it generalised...if anyone could help me,it would be really nice...
thanks
Vishal.

If your program opens notepad I'll delete it because I set UltraEdit as my default editor. So if you already must use system-specific code, how about grabbing a Windows manual to find out how to use the editor registered for these files? (Hint "start").

Problem with opening an excel spreadsheet

Hello,
I need to open an excel sheet when the user clicks on a link.
When I run the code I get SAVE/ DOWNLOAD dialog box.
Is it possible to get around the SAVE/DOWNLOAD dialog and open the excel sheet directly.
In other words, is it possible to download the excel sheet to a temp directory and open it from there.
Please help,
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I am able to open the excel sheet successfully from the web application but what is happening is that when it opens it sets the title of the excel sheet as the URL from where it was downloaded.
The problem with this is that the macros within the excel sheet are not working.
If i save the excel sheet and give it a name, the macros are working.
So, obviously it is something to do with the title.
Is it possible for me to pass the filename along with the code to open the excel sheet.
Thanks for your help so far.

Problem with opening URL (articulate) file in Captivate 3

Hi,
I created a Captivate 3 file, hoping to link an Articulate .html file if I click on a button.
I created a text button:
On success: open URL or file
URL: Z:\Tutorial\WebsiteTutorialReviewandSurvey_09_03_10\quiz.html
If I publish this file, I am able to play this file on my computer or any computer that is mapped to this drive. However, when I open the file on other machines, where this drive is not mapped, then the file cannot be opened. The file will be sent to other users who will not have access to my local drives, so I'm not sure how to set up my URL directory.
Can someone please help???
- is it the directory? "Z:\"
- I've also changed that to start off as \\servername\Tutorial\WebsiteTutorialReviewandSurvey_09_03_10\quiz.html = this also does not work
Thank you so much!

Problem with opening a dmg downloaded file.

I have a problem with opening a dmg file type. Example. I down loaded an update for Onyx. The download is placed on my destop. OnyX.dmg. When I click the file, disk utility opens up. I click OnyX.dmg and it attaches the image. I then have the OnyX disk image on my desktop. I click on OnyX.pkg and get the message "There is no default application specified to open the document "OnyX.pkg"
I remember when I 1st installed the program months ago. I just dragged the icon to the applications folder and was done.

There is something rather odd with your defaults for opening things. Double clicking a .dmg file should cause it to mount automatically using DiskImageMounter, and double clicking a .pkg file ought to cause Installer to run. DiskImageMounter is here:
/System/Library/CoreServices/DiskImageMounter
and the Installer is here:
/System/Library/CoreServices/Installer
You can use GetInfo to assign those programs to those file types. You might consider fixing your LaunchServices database. See the discussion thread here:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5744911
Using OnyX is probably the easiest solution.

Intermittent Error 41106 Error when trying to open an Excel file.

I am having an intermittent problem while opening an Excel file. The problem only occurs occasionally during execution of my program. My program has a cluster of buttons each button opens a sub VI that is part of a calibration process. The first VI generates an EXCEL filename that is used to save all calibration data. A template is opened, data is placed in this template, and then it is saved under the generated filename. Most of the time this seems to work fine, but every once in a while I receive a -41106 error indicating that Microsoft EXCEL did not open. As far as I can tell when I run each sub VI independently they work fine and no errors are generated. Does anyone know why this might be happening? I would appreciate any help.
Thanks

What version of LabVIEW and the Report Generation Toolkit are you using? I remember adding some code in the 1.1 version of the toolkit to attempt to avoid some Microsoft Excel latencies with opening/closing the application repeatedly, but it was by no means fool proof, since Excel sometimes takes its sweet time leaving memory when the application exits. Without knowing any more specifics, my best suggestion is for you to add a small delay between successive operations regarding opening/closing Excel and see if that helps. Also, if you could post a simple VI that demonstrates the behavior, that would be extra helpful.
Oh yeah, and another suggestion would be to open one report reference at the beginning of your program, and use this reference through the whole thing...I understand that this might not be possible, though, if you're opening different worksheets throughout the course of your application running.
Good luck,
-D
P.S. - For those of you reading this wondering why I would automatically assume MegaMan is using the Report Generation Toolkit, he cites error -41106, which is an error specific to this toolkit.
