Unable to directly open .xlsx files in sharepoint 2010?

Hi,
I am Unable to directly open .xlsx files in sharepoint 2010.
Please help me to solve the above problem.

Hi sudhir,
For enabling anonymous access, you need to enable it at web application level and site collection level.
At web application level: Central Administration->Application Management->Manage web applications->[your web application]->Authentication Providers->Default->Enable anonymous access.
At site collection level: Your top site->Site actions->Site Settings->Site Permissions->Anonymous Access under Permission Tools ribbon->Anonymous users can access : Lists and Libraries.
As you don't want anonymous users to access the linraries of the subsite, you need to break permission inhertance. You need to go to the sub site->Site settings->Site permissions-> clicking Stop inheriting permission. Then click Anonymous Access,
and select Nothing.
After the above, the anonymous users will not access the subsite.
After breaking perimission inhertance, the sub site will have unique permission, and it will not be affacted by the top site. And for existing users who have permissions on the sub site, their permission is not changed on the sub site.

Getting "Couldnot find Installable ISAM" error in script task in SSIS 2005 when trying to open (.xlsx files) Excel 2007-2010 files using VB script in Visual Studio 2005

Hi Experts,
I am trying to open .xlsx file in script task of SSIS 2005. I am using the 32-bit AccessDatabaseEngine driver with the Connection string as "Provider= Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0; Data Source=xlsx file path; Extended Properties="Excel 12.0 Xml;
HDR=YES"" in script task.
When we debug the VB script in Visual Studio 2005 and encounters the statement app.open() it throws the error "Couldn't find installable ISAM".
My SQL server version is 2005 SP2 DE
OS is Windows server 2003 EE SP2
Could anyone please let me know what is the resolution for this error?
Thanks and Regards,
Adesh

Hi Adesh,
First, make sure the package runs in 32-bit runtime mode (set Run64BitRuntime property to False) because you are using the 32-bit ACE OLE DB Provider. If it is not the case, the issue may occur due to the corrupted drivers or registry keys. You can try to
reinstall the 2007 Office System Driver: Data Connectivity Components as Arthur suggested.

Unable to open Office files on SharePoint 2010 sites on Windows Server 2008 R2

Setup: Windows SharePoint Server 2010 sp1 on Windows Server 2008 R2 (hosted on VMWare VSphere ESXi 5.1)
Secured using Domain SSL from GlobalSign.
Client OS: Windows 7 Professional 32bit & Windows XP SP3 32 bit
Browsers: IE10, IE9,IE8
Office: Office 2010, Office 2010 sp2 (both 32bit), Office 2007
Problem Description: Only recently, users started having issues with opening Office files (Word, Excel) on SharePoint sites. When you click on an Office file e.g. Word Document, it comes up with the option to select "Ready only" or "Edit"
and choosing either options and re-entering the login credentials results in the
application hanging. If you leave it for a while (about 5 minutes) sometimes the file opens and other times it gives the error "Could not open https://portal.com/XXX/XXX/Document.docx". Even when it opens, it's extremely
sluggish and can't do anything other than end it via Task Manager. Same with excel files.
This happens to all the users all different OS and browsers.
On XP Pro SP3 w/ IE8, when you click on the file, the login prompt keeps popping back up repeatedly and if you click cancel, the file loads up anyway but no way of saving back onto the SharePoint site.
IMPORTANT: One exception is when logged in as a Site Collection Administrator, it
works like a dream bizarrely!!!! Opens, Edits and saves back fine on the SharePoint site.
Have tried following:
1. Repaired Office 2010 Pro; Uninstalled/Re-installed Office 2010 Pro
2. Reset Browser, unticked automatically detect proxy settings.
3. Emptied OfficeOfflineCache on Client
4. Removed WebDAV from the SharePoint server
5. Added Antivirus folder exclusion (We use SEP 11) on the SharePoint Server
Note: PDF files opens fine for all users.
I would immensely appreciate if anybody has got any advice/pointers/suggestions. Desperately out of ideas at the moment.
regards,
Compter Sez No!

Hi,
According to your description, When you try to open a Microsoft Office document from a SharePoint 2010 site in a client application, the document opens slowly and you are prompted to enter your credentials multiple times.
This issue may be because of SharePoint Web Front End (WFE) server(s) has Antivirus software installed and the exceptions are not set correctly.
I recommend to remove the antivirus software or set the correct permissions for the antivirus software to resolve the issue.
To configure the antivirus exceptions, please follow the guidelines in the below articles:
KB943620:
Folders to exclude when you perform a file-level antivirus scan on a server operating system.
KB952167:
Certain folders may have to be excluded from antivirus scanning when you use a file-level antivirus program in SharePoint.
KB943556:
Recommended file and folder exclusions for Microsoft Forefront Client Security or Forefront Endpoint Protection 2010.
Best regards.
Thanks

Some clients Can't open XLSX files in Libraries using template.dotx but can open xlsx files in libraries using template.doc

If I create a new library using any Excel/Word template - DOC, DOTX, XLS, XLTX and then upload a XLSX document (or docx) then some of my clients experience issues opening the document. My work around in the past has been to resave the document
as XLS or DOC. Interestingly Old Libraries (Libraries using template.doc) don't have a problem with xlsx or docx documents. (This only works because most of the clients experiencing the problem only open a few documents and we only have to
resave a few documents. I don't know why these clients have this problem though.)
We are now testing a new Terminal Server implementation. One with OpenOffice instead of Microsoft Office. We can't open xlsx files on new libraries but can on old libraries. (docx files are not a problem though) I found a couple of
work arounds.  One work around is to click on the down arrow by the document name and select "Edit in Excel" which fails, but then clicking on the document name after will then prompt you to Open/save the document. Clicking on Open
successfully opens the document in OpenOffice. (So rather tedious for the users but nothing has to be changed to make it work.)
The other option is to create a template from one of the libraries that is working and then use it to create a new library and save my documents to the new library. Then I'm prompted to Open/Save the xlsx documents in the library.  This
option is less tedious for the user but then I have to go through and recreate any libraries using template.dotx. Creating a new library using the standard Document Library option and selecting Word or Excel 2003 does not resolve the issue - it has to
be created from a template created from an existing library that works in the Terminal Server implementation.
My boss is opting for the latter option unless I can come of with an alternative that doesn't mean additional steps for the users. Training is an issue because most of the Terminal Server users are shop floor workers.
My question is, is there a patch or fix that addresses this issue or any other work arounds that would be less work?
Additional Info: Our Sharepoint implementation is the Enterprise version is installed but we do not have the Excel related Features activated (and these can't be activated due to licensing). I'm not sure if that matters or not but it is
a different configuration from how most SharePoint installations are configured. SP1 is installed. I have not installed any recent CU's. Versions I see in Patch Status screen include 14.0.6029.1 (primarily) with some additional features
reporting 14.0.6105.5, 14.0.6107.5, 14.0.6112.5 and 14.0.6114.5.
Nancy Forbes

We have tried a couple of additional things.
We uninstalled OpenOffice and are testing LibreOffice. I also installed CMIS from the SharePoint Administrator's toolkit, added the solution, and deployed it to my sites. The "Producer" feature is activated on the site I am testing with.
I created a new library and posted some docx, doc, and xlsx files to it. All files can be opened as Read-only from the Library list. The only way I have found that I can edit the files is to Open the Library with Explorer.   I then deactivated
the producer feature and tested opening the SharePoint documents from Explorer and it worked the same.
So am I misunderstanding what the CMIS Producer feature is for?

PDF File not opening in browser for sharepoint 2010

Recently we have moved our web application from one server to another in Sharepoint 2010. Back up of entire web application was taken and restored in another server. But in the new server , the PDF files in the document library is not getting opened in browser.
it always open in browser
I have already made following changes but didn,t work
Set browser file handling to Permissive from central admin
Set "open in browser" in setting s of doc library
Set the doc library file handling property using $docLib = $web.lists["Your Document Library Title"] $docLib.BrowserFileHandling = "Permissive" $docLib.Update()
Added "AllowedInlineDownloadedMimeType.Add("Application/Pdf") in web app
Installed Adober eader in client machine
Even after trying all these, the PDF files are still opening in Client application(Adobe reader) but not in the browser
It would have been great help if anybody provide a solution for this. I have been banging head on this for two days

It would be handy if you didn't double post too.

To answer your question, you've tried most things that I normally see working, but there may be an extra solution here for you. The solution 2 Powershell that deals with updating the Inline MimeType may help.

Can't open Excel files from Sharepoint 2013

I am having an issue with opening Excel files from SharePoint 2013. If I click on an excel file it comes up with the error below.
If I click Try again I get the message below also:
If I try to open Word or PDF files they open correctly in the appropriate client and I have the option of checking them out and editing them. Any ideas why this would only be happening to Excel files?
Thanks,
Shaun

Hi Shaun,
I understand that the Excel files cannot be opened from SharePoint in Microsoft Excel.
Can these files be viewed in the browser?
I recommend to download a copy of the files with issue and then open them in Excel to see if the issue still occurs.
If above cannot work, I recommend to repair Office.
Best regards.
Thanks

I have office 2004 on my Imac. Cannot open .xlsx files. Anyone know of a patch for this

I have office 2004 on my Imac. Cannot open .xlsx files. Anyone know of a patch for this

Mac users using Word 2004 who receive a Word 2008 for Mac, (or Word 2007 for Windows) document, will not be albe to read this without having the Open XML Converter installed, which can be downloaded from Microsoft.
Go to this page:
http://www.microsoft.com/mac/downloads.mspx
and click on the right under Most Popular, 'Open XML File Format Converter for Mac 1.0.2'
This opens a window at the bottom of the page. Scroll that to the bottom and click on English.dmg, and it will download for you as a disk image, which can be installed in the usual way.
After installation you can open and read .xml formatted Word 2008 documents in Word 2004.
Update: This link http://support.microsoft.com/kb/976831 takes you to a newer version 1.1.3 (released Nov 10, 2009).

Pulling .xlsx files from Sharepoint Using ssis

Hi,
I need to create package to pull the .xlsx files from sharepoint and load into another server and make the package automated everyday. I was not familiar with SSIS stuff. I came to know it can be done by using file task
and FTP, but not able to figure it out the configuration setting that should be used in the tasks.
Can anybody suggest the procress for this task?
Thanks,
Sri Harsha.
BALUSUSRIHARSHA

Hi Sri,
These sites are right.
SharePoint exposes file retrieval via the HTTPWebResponse interface only. So the FTP Task cannot help you in this case.
I know it may be not easy coding in C# without programming skills but one day you need to start as SSIS without C# or VB is not fully usable anyways.
Luckily there is this community wiling to help you for free and a ton of examples already on the web.
If you could try to modify the code from http://blogs.msdn.com/b/sowmyancs/archive/2007/09/15/how-to-download-files-from-a-sharepoint-document-library-remotely-via-lists-asmx-webservice-sps-2003-moss-2007.aspx so it makes sense in application to what you
need to achieve that would be great.
If you get issues, do not hesitate to post on our forum.

I can't open .xlsx file in UIWebView.

I can't open .xlsx file in UIWebView. I'm using iPhone OS 4.2 sdk for my development. I got the "Invalid file format" error when I open the .xlsx file.
I founded this article. Here clearly mentioned .xlsx file format not supported in iPhone OS 2.2.1 and iPhone OS 3.0.
Is it possible to open on iPhone OS 4.2 or later?

Wow....so far behind.
Move to current tools and then try again, pls/thanks.

Reader ten trying to open XLSX files!

When I go to my directory and try to open XLSX files by double clicking on my PC, Reader X shows up and says it can't read the file. WHat can I do to stop Reader X from getting involved with my spreadsheets?

Correct your file associations. Most likely reinstalling or repairing MS Office will do that.

Unknow error occured while Updating Mpp file to sharepoint 2010 list

Any body can help me here whenever i am syncing any mpp file to sharepoint 2010 list i am getting error that
"Please check SharePoint site is running or not "
Thanks

1- once you are done with creating MPP file save as .MPP file Type in all files and store in the same site where you would like to view/see.
3- create new project task.
4- now open the file and start syncing give the site name only there you will get a drop of your project task in second column which you just created.
5- validate and start syncing .
NOTE :- whenever you are making any modification in file make sure that you haacve saved the file by slecting as .MPP in all file & stored in the same site .

Ribon mising when first opening a list in Sharepoint 2010

Hello.
When opening a list in SharePoint 2010, I do not get the ribbon. If I click on a list item, the ribbon appears. Then I can come back to the original task I had in mind.
Can you advise how to fix it so that the ribbon always appear when loading a list?
Thanks a lot.

Thanks dear Alex,
Probably... I am not the programmer, but the user. The programmer told me that it was impossible to have the ribbon available unless an item of the list is clicked on first, so I wanted to investigate if that is true and if there is a way around it. Does
not seem natural to have to open an item on the list before creating a new one.

Uploading Large videos Files to SharePoint 2010

Uploading Large video Files to SharePoint 2010 for employee training portal
Saidireddy

Hello ,
The default maximum file size for SharePoint Lib is 50 MB. You can change the maximum file upload size in SharePoint 2010 .However;
a large volume of very large files can affect farm performance.
Ref to change maximum file upload size
http://aryannava.com/2011/05/30/how-to-change-the-maximum-file-upload-size-in-sharepoint-2010/
I would suggest you that instead of uploading large files to SharePoint, you can Upload those files to File server or
media steaming server and Share those links to SharePoint server.
You can embed those links to SharePoint Silver Media player in .mp4 or .wmv formats.

Storing Video files in SharePoint 2010

Hello,
We are going to store video files in SharePoint 2010. In total, we may have about 6 GB of files in total in Asset Library. Is it too much? What is the best approach to keep video files in SharePoint? I planned to change upload size, because 50mb is not enough.
The largest file size will be 150 mb.
Thanks

+ to Cameron
Maximum file size limit is 2GB per, however that doesnot mean sharepoint will handle it without issues.
I have seen request time out, for files even lesser than 50MB, it is again a big process of changing these settings in IIS and web.config.
You can plan to have smaller files,but better to keep less than 50MB. Even worse if you have enabled versioning to asset library, which will keep increasing everytime the same file is uploaded.
Auditing asset library periodically would also help to plan the growth, to an extent keep the library within few GBs and then plan store space requirement.
Deciding library size will be big process, we have MS suggest 200 GB limit for Content databases, this limit also we need to consider while planning library size
This link should help to get the limits -
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc262787(v=office.15).aspx#Limits

Opening .xlsm file sin SharePoint site landing page

I'll begin by saying Hello to the forum. I have only very recently started using MS SharePoint within our company, having had no previous experience of it, so please expect quite a few 'beginners' questions coming this way over the coming months.
To manage our data maintenance processes, I have developed a set of form applications within Excel, using VBA to provide a user-friendly interface to the data requestor/providers within our business. Of course it is very difficult to provide any kind
of manageable/visible workflow solution using only Excel and so the business has made the decision to utilise SharePoint as the host.
We currently have a split between data objects where a workflow solution has been created for customer/vendor, using my form applications as the data entry tool. Materials however currently sit within a document library on a department SharePoint site.
The site was created by A.N.Other who has now left the business and I have therefore been tasked with managing it. Initially, this is as simple as updating and loading the .xls/.xlsm form applications to the document library.
And so, to my first problem. Where a visitor to the site navigated directly to the document library and clicked on an .xlsm file, they were presented with an error message that states:-
<v:shapetype coordsize="21600,21600" filled="f" id="_x0000_t75" o:preferrelative="t" o:spt="75" path="m@4@5l@4@11@9@11@9@5xe"
stroked="f"><v:stroke joinstyle="miter"><v:formulas><v:f eqn="if lineDrawn pixelLineWidth 0"><v:f eqn="sum @0 1 0"><v:f eqn="sum 0 0 @1"><v:f eqn="prod @2 1 2"><v:f
eqn="prod @3 21600 pixelWidth"><v:f eqn="prod @3 21600 pixelHeight"><v:f eqn="sum @0 0 1"><v:f eqn="prod @6 1 2">The workbook cannot be opened because it contains the following features that
are not supported by Excel in the browser:</v:f></v:f></v:f></v:f></v:f></v:f></v:f></v:f></v:formulas></v:stroke></v:shapetype>
Data Validation
Sheet Protection
Would you like to try and open this file in Excel?
<v:shapetype coordsize="21600,21600" filled="f" id="_x0000_t75" o:preferrelative="t" o:spt="75" path="m@4@5l@4@11@9@11@9@5xe"
stroked="f"><v:stroke joinstyle="miter"><v:formulas><v:f eqn="if lineDrawn pixelLineWidth 0"><v:f eqn="sum @0 1 0"><v:f eqn="sum 0 0 @1"><v:f eqn="prod @2 1 2"><v:f
eqn="prod @3 21600 pixelWidth"><v:f eqn="prod @3 21600 pixelHeight"><v:f eqn="sum @0 0 1"><v:f eqn="prod @6 1 2">I was able to change this so that the file automaticaly opened
in the client application by changing the settings for the documents library.</v:f></v:f></v:f></v:f></v:f></v:f></v:f></v:f></v:formulas></v:stroke></v:shapetype>
The problem is that on the landing page of our department site, we have a side navigation menu that links to some of the most frequently used files. If the visitor clicks on any of these files (which of course point to the same source
document) they again see the error message, and no matter how hard I look, I am unable to find the option to make the file open in the client application from here.
I was hoping that the experts here may be able to advise on where I may find this option, if available?
Many thanks in advance.
Danny

Excel Services is clearly out due to the VBA and Macro elements you've added.
Just to present an alternative point of view for this. If you want to surface just ONE spreadsheet on a homepage, this can be done but it involves a slightly different route about it.
The Page Viewer Web Part might present an alternative for you. I don't know if it'll disable the warning dialog boxes but it might be worth a try. More info can be seen here
http://office.microsoft.com/en-gb/sharepoint-server-help/page-viewer-web-part-HA010024045.aspx
If that one doesn't work, there is another trick in which we can try importing an earlier version of this tool from SharePoint 2003 (which oddly enough was actually better!) to see if that'll help.
