Save as dialog window for excel file save ....

hi!
i have a jsp that displays all the report names to the clients and when clicked on the report downloads an excel file and saves to the client machine.this is accomplished by calling a servlet that sets the content type as "application/octet-stream" and setting the header as "setHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=myExcel.xls")
and writing the bytes to the excel file.works just perfect.
now if you open the excel file and make changes to it and try to save it with a different name by clicking 'save as' option from file menu, the 'save as file type' by default shows "text" instead of excel worksheet.
have you guys come across this problem anytime....
kindly let me know you have any suggestions ..
thanks in advance,
/rahul

one more point:
the save as list box displays "myExcel.xls"(with quotes) where it should have displayed simply myExcel.

  • Save As & Open Dialog Window for some documents hangs when custom VSTO plugin is installed

    Hello,
    I have created a VSTO application which uploads a word document to Document Management Server. The problem is not with this plugin, but after the plugin is installed, for certain documents when user makes some modification to the document and clicks on File
    -> Save As or File ->Open, the Save As/Open Dialog window, does  not show up and the Word application will be hung (spinning) as it should do if the Save As dialog window would have been shown. The only option is then to kill the WinWord process
    from Task Manager. When I kill the WinWord process from task manager, I see the Save As Dialog window appear for a split second before the WinWord Process shuts down.
    If I uninstall the VSTO application, everything works fine.
    Details on the application:
    Target Framework: .NET Framework 4
    Platform Target: x86
    OS (Developer and End User): Windows 7 Enterprise SP1 64 bit
    Microsoft Office: Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2010 Version: 14.0.6129.5000 (32-bit)
    Help!!

    Hi Eugene,
    Thanks for your reply.
    Yes I have tried an empty add-in project as well. Added a label to the ribbon and displayed a static text. I am able to reproduce the issue with this add-in as well. The issue is only reproducable if I deploy the add-in using a setup and deployment project.
    While building the project, Visual Studio installs the add-in by default. If I open the problematic documents with the "developement" version of the add-in installed, it seems to be working fine.

    Since it could be reproduced if you deploy any add-in with a setup project, it seems this issue may be related to the your environment.
    It will be helpful if you could share the following information with us.
    The configuration about that setup project and your add-in.
    Whether your user account has admin privilege or not.
    To narrow down this issue, you could consider installing that add-in with setup project in a clean machine.
    If it could reproduce this issue, then we could focus on that setup project instead.
    If not, then we'd better focus on your environment to narrow down this issue.

  • InDesign "Save As" dialog box for every operation in INDB book file; updating page numbers, etc.

    So I haven't used INDB files in awhile in InDesign, and today was the first time I attempted to adjust an old INDB (created originally with CS5).  For every operation of adjusting the book file, such as updating page/section number or adding/removing an INDD file I get a Save As dialog box for each constiuent INDD file.  This is quite annoying since the book has lots of INDDs, and I have to click through the tedious save as with each.  I previously worked with INDBs in CS5, and never encountered this, there was no need to save each INDD in the book just to update the page numbers.  I tried creating a new INDB in CS5.5 thinking that maybe it was because I was working from a file created with an older version of InDesign.  Does anyone know if there is a way to suppress the Save As dialog?  Another thing I noticed that is supremely frustrating is that this new build of InDesign doesn't default to saving the file in its original location, and I have unwittingly ended up saving files in other places, only to later realize it.  I am using InDesign CS5.5 Ver. 7.5.2 on Mac OSX 10.7.3  Any help is greatly appreciated. 

    It will only happen once (and frankly, what you are doing is a very bad idea).
    When you open the old book in CS5, you are converting to the new format. All of the legacy files also need to be converted, even if added to a new book in CS5.5, hence the Save As since ID will not overwrite the old versions until you tell it to (and that's the bad idea). I strongly recommend (though it's too late for any books you've already updated and overwritten) that you either continue to edit in the old version, or that you take the time to open each file in the original version if it's older than CS5, then export to interchange format (.inx or .idml, depending on version), open those files in CS5.5, save with new names so you don't overwrite anything, then add to a new book and proceed.
    One of the reasons I recommend this seemingly time-consuming approach is that there are too many reports (another one yesterday) of some sort of problem that pops up late in the editing cycle when converting legacy files to CS5/5.5 by opening them directly and saving. This is a belt and suspenders insurance approach, and is far less labor intensive than starting over, which might end up being your other option down the road if something goes wrong.

  • How do I save a PDF as an excel file when the PDF is horizontal. Adobe tries to rotate the page, but the data is entered in an  horizontal format.

    How do I save a PDF as an excel file when the PDF is horizontal. Adobe tries to rotate the page, but the data is entered in an  horizontal format.

    Thanks for the quick reply.  I figured out how to get the desired results by using tagging.  For anyone who may reference this post in the future, I went to "Customize" in the top right corner of Adobe, then selected "Create new tool set...", looked under "accessiblity and found the "tag" option.  Hit ok, tag is added to the toolbar.  Then I highlighted the dataset in the PDF that was relevant to the output format, then clicked "tag", saved as spreadsheet.  Sorry I can't provide more details on how tagging works or if there's a more elegant solution available, but I'm sure one's out there.

  • Can no longer do Cmd N within the Save As dialog window

    Hey guys
    For some reason I haven't been able to make new folders within the Save As dialog window by pressing Command N after installing Leopard, I have to manually click the New Folder button. Were commands changed? Is it a bug? I would appreciate if someone can tell me how to get this command back.
    Thank you

    Glad to hear you aren't crazy, but apparently some programmer somewhere was. I always use the button when I'm in Save as to create a new folder, something I do rarely, so I assumed it worked the way it did everywhere else, and, of course when I tried it here in Leopard it did work the way I assumed it ought to. Evidently there was an, umm, how to put this nicely....interface inconsistency (that sounds polite, I think) that was corrected in Leopard. There, I'm sure the original programmer won't be offended. Not to mention his boss, or whoever is supposed to be in charge of Human Interface Guidelines Compliance issues. Whoever it is seems to take frequent vacations....

  • How do you create a save as default folder for MP3 files used Captivate text to audio voices files?

    How do you create a save as default folder for MP3 files used Captivate text to audio voices files?

    Hi Ed
    Thank you for contacting me, however I already know how to save text to
    audio files via timeline using the Export feature.
    So my question was not entirely clear and I apologize for that.  To explain
    further, whenever I save a text to audio file, captivate takes me to a
    default save as folder where I then have browse back to my production
    folder where I am keeping all my Txt to Aud files.  This is very tedious
    process when you have alot of files to save.  So my question was is there a
    way to configure captivate so I can make my production folder the default
    file for whenever I save a Txt to Audio file through Export feature that
    the system automatically takes me to that production folder, and I am
    spared the long tedious process of saving the file manually to the
    prodcution folder I want.
    I have copy the pathway to the production folder in the URL filed in the
    Save As dialoge box and that workaround as cut the work down but I still
    have to paste that URL field to point the file to the right folder. So it
    would be nice if I could do everything automatically.  Microsoft makes this
    capability in their MS Office applications, so I was thinking Adobe might
    do the same thing.  Your help with this would be appreicated,
    Thanks

  • How to display the Get info window for a file or folder

    Hello,
    How can I display the Get Info window for a file or folder using Applescript - instead of selecting it in the finder and using Command-I ?
    Thanks.
    lenpartico

    The item property that the Get Info was opened for is read only, so it doesn't look like you can just throw a file path at it. You could do something like telling the Finder to reveal the item, then keystroke the command, e.g.:
    <pre style="
    font-family: Monaco, 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;
    font-size: 10px;
    margin: 0px;
    padding: 5px;
    border: 1px solid #000000;
    width: 720px;
    color: #000000;
    background-color: #FFEE80;
    overflow: auto;"
    title="this text can be pasted into the Script Editor">
    tell application "Finder"
    reveal "Path:to:your:file"
    activate
    end tell
    tell application "System Events" to keystroke "i" using {command down}
    </pre>
    ... but this doesn't seem to be much different than the regular method. There are other methods to get various information, what are you wanting to do?
    Edit:
    Hmmm, I could have sworn (I do a lot of that these days) I tried Hiroto's method, but that does work. It still seems to be a roundabout way of doing something though.

  • Reason to set MaxErrorCount along with Propogate value for Excel Files

    Hi,
    I had an ETL earlier which processed CSV files from a folder. The requirement was to load the error files into a Rejected folder but continue to process all the files from the source Folder. This requirement was satisfied by setting the value of the
    system variable "Propogate" in EventHandler section for DataFlowTask to "false".
    MaxErrorCount value for the ForEach Loop is having its default value as "1".
    When tested, it was working perfectly fine
    Now currently there is an Excel file as source having same requirement as above. But even when then variable "Propogate" was set to "false" as above, the execution was getting stopped when an error file was found.
    Later I found the below link :
    http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sqlserver/en-US/0065b5c2-f633-4cbf-81f9-031d1ed25555/how-to-skip-wrong-excel-files-ignore-errors-on-ssis-foreach-task
    As mentioned in the link, I have done below changes
    1)Set MaxErrorCount for ForEachLoop to 1000
    2)"Propogate" variable is set to false
    Now this is working perfectly fine.
    Can you please let me know why did the setting of "Propogate" worked for CSV but did not work for Excel. For Excel files why was an additional setting for MaxErrorCount  was required.
    It would be very much helpful if I can get a detail information on the above
    Thanks,
    Raksha
    Raksha

    Hi Raksha,
    In you SSIS package, setting the Propagate system variable to False of the Event Handler prevents the Data Flow Task (DFT) propagating its failure to its parent container. For the ValidateMetadata property of a Data Flow Task Component, it doesn’t only affect
    the DFT at design time but also at runtime. During the Validation phase, a component is supposed to check to make sure that the cached metadata in the package is still in sync with the underlying table/view/query. If there is a mismatch, the component returns
    a special status (VS_NEEDSNEWMETADATA). When this happens at design-time, SSIS triggers a metadata refresh by calling ReinitializeMetadata(). At runtime, this results in an error.
    In your scenario, by setting the ValidateMetadata property to false, the error of the DFT is avoided, hence, you don’t need to set the MaxErrorCount to a value more than 1.
    For more information about how ValidateMetadate property works, please see Matt’s answer in the following thread:

  • Can't find "save as" for excel file in Xcelsius

    Hello All
    I have created a dashboard using Live Office. I made some changes in my excel which is in my dashboard. Now I want to save the excel from xcelsius to my desktop. But I don't see any save as option in excel sheet inside my xcelsius file. I can import the excel files from my desktop but I don't see any option for exporting my excel to my desktop with Live Office connections. Is there any way to do this? Please help....
    Thanks
    Raghavendra.G

    Hi Raghavendra,
                     Another way is: you can save the excel to BOE using 'Save to BOE' button in Live office tab and then open the excel in BOE and save it where ever you need it.

  • Excel file save error: Someone else is working in file right now. Please try again later.

    When trying to save a modified Excel file, which has been opened from a network share, our users are receiving the following message:
    Someone else is working in "\\domain.com\users\username\Document.xls" right now. Please try again later.
    The clients that have been affected are Windows 7 clients, and the DFS share is being served from a Windows 2012 server. I have already confirmed that DFS replication has not been enabled, so it isn't trying to lock files for replication. I have also disabled
    any real-time scanning that is occurring on the client to make sure that the AV software wasn't locking the files. I did notice when viewing the list of Open Files from the server's Computer Management console that when a users experiences this issue the file
    appears to be opened 4 times. Three times it shows that it was opened in Read mode and the 4th instance shows an Open Mode of Write. Typically, a file which is working correctly should just show one instance with the Open Mode of Read+Write. None of these
    open instances are temporary files preceded with a ~.
    Any thoughts?

    Hi,
    Does the issue occur in other operation system? Which Office version are you using? Have you ever tried to test with word document, PPT file or txt file?
    Based on your description, the issue may be caused by the same file open multiple time in computer management on SQL server. The user probably has User Access Control (UAC) enabled on the machine and it is not letting him overwrite the existing
    copy of the file because she does not have it open in administrator mode. UAC will block overwriting (saving) the existing file without Administrative privileges and it will automatically open the save as dialog so you can save with a different name and
    if you click save without changing the name at the point, it tries to save as a new file over the existing file and it can't because the file is open.
    I recommend you check the user's permission (Which showed in Computer Management console) and end the Excel file instance in the task manager of the user's client.
    Also, we may try the workaround: Save it to local drive(like drive c:) and then copy it to DFS.
    Thanks

  • Save as dialog window display is slow with EVERY app

    Hello guys,
    Since upgrading to Yosemite 10.10.2 I see a VERY annoying issue each time any application opens a "Save as..." dialog : the dialog takes about 5 seconds to load. I think I also hear something like a small beep during the time the Save window tries to open and most of the time I see the spinning wheel a few seconds before the Save as dialog is displayed.
    Specs of my Mac are as follow :
    Macmini 6,2
    Intel Core i7
    2,3 GHz
    RAM: 16 Go
    Intel SSD
    I don't have any network drives attached, only 3 USB drives.
    This Save As bug is a HUGE issue for me, sorry but I can't wait 5 seconds every time I need to Save something.
    Anyone here found a solution to this issue ??
    Cheers,

    Hi CW3X,
    I think those settings are saved in Safari's property list file. Opening that file in either Property List Editor or TextEdit and scrolling through the entries highlights a cluster of "NSPanelExpandedSizeForSaveMode" strings, which look like they may be relevant.
    ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist
    If you're not comfortable editing the file manually, you can try moving the .plist file to your Desktop and restarting Safari. Hopefully everything will return to normal.

  • Steps to save a Query/Report as Excel file in Share folder

    Hi,
    I have a requirement where i need to schedule a BI report automatically on a daily basis and save it in a Sharepoint folder as a excel file.  I have gone through the Forums but didnt get a clear idea on how to proceed this with.  I read about RSCRM_BAPI transaction but i hope we need to do this manually to save the file each time.  Also, in Broadcaster there are options only to send Email & save in Portal. 
    So, if anybody have idea on saving a Query/Report as excel file in a Share folder automatically, kindly help me in suggesting the steps to do this activity.

    Hi
    1. Create Three Floders in AL11 i.e. in Apllication Server. Eg Name it F1, F2 and F3.
    2. First dump the .csv files into F1. (Name xyz.csv).
    3. Then using UNIX/WINDOWS (depends on your OS) script , first check the file is there are not in F1, if yes then rename the file with date and time or date and transfer the files from F1 to F2 i.e xyz06032010.csv.
    4. Then Create a small ABAP program to check the file in F2, if it is there then Trigger the Event, and using that event you execute teh PC.
    5. Then using UNIX/WINDOWS (depends on your OS) script , transfer the files from F2 to F3 i.e xyz06032010.csv
    6. Next day morning F1 and F2 are empty and F3 is having the backup files.
    So use this method, I used the similar logic and it is working fine.
    Timinings are importent i.e what time you need to dump the fule in F1 and what time you need to run UNIX/WINDOWS (depends on your OS) script , transfer the files from F1 to F2 and what time UNIX/WINDOWS (depends on your OS) script , transfer the files from F2 to F3.
    OR
    1. Create Two Floders in AL11 i.e. in Apllication Server. Eg Name it F1 and F2
    2. First dump the .csv files into F1. (Name xyz.csv)
    3. Then load the data using InfoPackage, through PC.
    4. At the end of the load Attach a simple Program to Move the xyz.csv file from F1 to F2.
    5. So next day the file will come to F1 and the it will load and at the end it will move to F2.
    Else  you can use simple one or two lines of UNIX/WINDOWS (depends on your OS) script to move the file from F1 to F2 , once you load is over.
    While moving the file from F1 to F2 you can append the date at the end of the file and then move to F2, it is use full for future reference.
    See Blogs and Article, similar logic...

  • Why can I not save my changes to an Excel file in Numbers?

    I opened an Excel file in Numbers and made some modifications.  Now, trying to save it to a numbers file, I get the message, "The file 'filename.numbers' couldn't be opened.  How can I save this file?

    oddly, i needed to restart my computer for another issue (i could not hear any sound no matter what i did).  luckily, apple has had the insight to include automatic recovery of files and i was able to re-open these applications and have my unsaved files intact.  even more strangely, i was able to save my file with the original name.
    as a pc & windows convert, this whole thing was a little disconcerting.  perhaps i am just used to that environment, but i have never had something like this happen there.  (though perhaps i have had other things... )
    thanks for the attempts to help!

  • Filename in Save As dialog when saving PDF file

    I have a web site serving up PDF files. Without going into details, the URLs of the PDFs are not just your basic URL but look simething like this:
    http://www.domain.com/WorkFlowApp/Clients/demo1/secure/Promo%20Cover%20Cool-MedH i.pdf?userId=55b64ad5-28a2-490e-b3d6-4944099a390f#collab=CollabService@http://ww w.domain.com/ICCollab/IC_Service.asmx?WSDL
    In this case the actual filename is "Promo Cover Cool-MedHi.pdf"
    While viewing in Safari (OS X), if the user saves the PDF to their local machine, the Save As dialog comes up and the filename field is automatically populated. The problem is, instead of using just the filename, the field contains this:
    http---www.domain.com-WorkFlowApp-Clients-demo1-secure-Promo%20Cover%20Cool-MedH i.pdf?userId=55b64ad5-28a2-490e-b3d6-4944099a390f#collab=CollabService@http---ww w.domain.com-ICCollab-IC_Service.asmx?WSDL
    I know when performing the same action on Windows using Internet Explorer, the Save As dialog box filename field is populated correctly with just the filename (although it shows up URL encoded as Promo%20Cover%20Cool-MedHi.pdf, which is OK).
    I'd like to be able to force Safari to use just the filename in the Save As dialog box. Has anyone come accross this problem and figured out a solution?

    Hello Ebnul.nao
