Unable to edit Excel file via WebDAV in IE

LS,
Aim
To be able to open an Excel file in Oracle Portal via IE for editing (ergo, if changed it needs to be saved in the same location where it resides = database)
What have we done so far
OraDAV has been implemented (basic manner), a pagegroup has been created in Oracle Portal for security, next we stored some Excel files for test purposes.
Opening and editing using Windows Explorer (when testing) works fine, but opening from browser (Internet Explorer) opens Excel-file in read-only mode!
Workaround
Create windows shortcuts to Excel files in the OraDAV Webfolder, shortcuts are then placed in a public Windows-share which is running on a workstation.
Accessing these shortcuts from both Windows Explorer and Internet Explorer works fine then.
But...
Unfortunately, implementing a windows share on a server is considered to be not an option by the network security team, and it's also not an option to continue using a workstation for that purpose.
What does Metalink say (we created TAR for this)
CLARIFICATION
====================
This issue happens on WEBDAV.
Using=>Windows Explorer it works fine.
Using=>Internet Explorer it does not do as the customer aspected.
Webdav:
Using=>Windows Explorer
going to folder
http://<machine>:7778/dav_portal/.../QA1.XLS
double clicked QA1.XLS and this opens in Microsoft Excel.
After made modifications the file is saved correctly without any issue.
Using=>Internet Explorer
Calling the
URL:http://<machine>:7778/.../QA1.XLS
the file QA1.XLS opens within Internet Explorer the Microsoft Excel plugin.
Problem is it the file opened in read-only mode and when you click save it wants to save
in local drive.
ISSUE VERIFICATION
===================
Verified the issue by the OWC session.
RESEARCH
=========
TESTCASE
I have tested the same issue on 9.0.2.3 and 10.1.2 portal versions.
They are all behaving the same.
CAUSE DETERMINATION
====================
This is intended behaviour.
CAUSE JUSTIFICATION
====================
Details => http://www.webdav.org
http://portalstudio.oracle.com/pls/ops/docs/FOLDER/COMMUNITY/OTN_CONTENT/MAINPAGE/PUBLISH_CONTMGMT/TECHNOTE_WEBDAV.HTML
What does Portal documentation say
Source: Oracle9iAS Portal Release 2 âTechnical Overview
An Oracle White Paper; April 2002; Page 17
=======================================================
Integrating with the desktop
File-type item content can also be published to the portal repository via the Webbased Distributed Authoring and Versioning (WebDAV) protocol. Using a WebDAV client such as Windows Explorer, a portal page group can be mapped as a Web Folder. Users can then simply drag and drop content, files, and folders between portal pages and the desktop. File-type items can also be opened, edited, and saved directly from WebDAV desktop applications like MS Office 2000.
Thus...
Even though Metalink is implying it is not possible, one would think it IS possible, since IE is also a valid WebDAV client.
Bottom line
Does anyone know how to set up Portal in combination with WebDAV to ensure editing of Excel files will happen via Internet Explorer AND changes will be saved back onto the original location
Thanks, Patrick

hi patrick,
this problem is not solvable on the serverside since this is a desktop integration problem. since you want to use excel as your editor you have to use excel's client side software.
oracle drive purely addresses desktop integration and is not meant to be a server side component. it is a webdav client and for that only ensures that the communication between the client and the portal server has as much useful functionality as possible.
the only other option that i see is downloading the document to the client, update it and copy it back up to the portal server, which is cumbersome.
all webdav clients are client side software that is either shipped with the OS (MS webfolders) or needs to be installed on the client (oracle drive).
you could check if there is software availble that is an excel plug-in for internet explorer which at the same time talks webdav to portal. not sure if this exists ?
regards,
christian

Unable to edit excel files on my Lumia 710

I am using a Lumia 710. I have synced it through Skydrive with my Laptop with Windows 8 64 Bit OS and MS Office 2010. My Excel & Word Documents are in the .xlsx & docx formats, hence presumably I should be able to edit them on my mobile. However, I am able to edit some of the excel files whereas in the others I am unable to edit. How can I overcome this?

Hi,
Welcome to the forum!
Sorry to hear that. It's best to contact Microsoft about it since they determine the supported languages in Windows Phones.
You can also suggest such feature from this link: http://windowsphone.uservoice.com/forums/101801-feature-suggestions

Unable to edit XLSM files in SharePoint using hyperlink?

Hi All,
Unable to edit .xlsm files using hyperlink, please guide me.
Thanks
Ramanjulu Naidu N

Hi Ramanjulu,
Did this happen to all users?
Did the "Read Only/Edit" dialog pop up when you click the .xlsm Name link from SharePoint 2010?
Could you see the yellow message bar with "Edit Workbook" button when you open the .xlsm file in your Excel Application?
You can check if the following kb article could solve yellow message bar missing problem, set "Browser File Handling" as Permissive for your web application, or update the registry for client Office application.
Also check if the add-on "SharePoint OpenDocuments Class" is enabled in your IE 32-bit browser.

Date formatting issue when sending excel file via mail

hello People ,
I am facing date issue .
I have inetrnal format of date as yyyymmdd.
I am converting it into YYYY-MM-DD.
CONCATENATE gs_output-end_date(4)
                    gs_output-end_date+4(2)
                    gs_output-end_date+6(2)
                    INTO lv_date_to SEPARATED BY gc_seperator. " gc_separator = '-'.
        gs_output-end_date = lv_date_to.
I am writing this date and sending an excel file via MAIL . I get date result as MM/DD/YYYY always.
Now if i pass in YYYY.MM.DD and used the same code where gc_separtor = '.'.
I get output as YYYY.MM.DD.
Can any one give me an idea why in format YYYY-MM-DD it is getting overwritten but for yyyy.mm.dd it gives me as yyyy.mm.dd?
Regards,
Abhi..

Thanks , Rohit ,
I have change my date format in SU01 settings .
It is now made to [ YYYY-MM-DD] but still '-' is replaced by MM/DD/YYYY.
Also note that when i format in the following way
   CONCATENATE gs_output-rdadate(4)
                    gs_output-rdadate+4(2)
                    gs_output-rdadate+6(2)
                    INTO lv_rda_date.
instead of
   CONCATENATE gs_output-rdadate(4)
                    gs_output-rdadate+4(2)
                    gs_output-rdadate+6(2)
                    INTO lv_rda_date sepearted by '-'.
I get output as YYYYMMDD.

Unable to edit PDF files in Adobe Acrobat DC

i am unable to edit a file in adobe acrobat dc i have tried with multiple files and everytime i click edit pdf it get a pop up that says adobe acrobat dc has encountered an unknown error however i have been able to edit a few pdf's i tried everything from re downloading a new file to saving it in acrobat reader and nothing is working please help

Hi imadb,
Since you have the Acrobat Pro DC 30-day trial, please try opening that to edit your PDFs (rather than opening them in Reader, and clicking the Edit PDF button).
If you search your computer, you should have both an Adobe Acrobat Reader DC and and Adobe Acrobat Pro application. They can coexist, but it does make things a little confusing.
If you want to evaluate Acrobat Pro DC, it's best that you open it directly. That way, you can get the real "lay of the land" with Acrobat before making any purchase decisions.
Best,

How to edit Excel files in MacBook Pro

I just got my first Mac and I am wondering if there are any programs/apps other than numbers or excel for Mac that I can use to edit excel files I have stored in my Dropbox account. I only have a few files and don't really want to spend alot of money on the previously mention apps/programs since I probably won't be using it alot. Any suggestion would be appreciated..thanks

I agree with Niel - OpenOffice is the way to go - http://www.openoffice.org/download/.
I have Office 2011, so I don't use OpenOffice too often, but it's nice to have something which costs nothing (save the blood and sweat of those who participate in making it work) that will open Word, Excel, etc., documents.
Good luck,
Clinton

Unable to open excel file in office 2010 client.

Greetings All,
User is unable to opne excel file from a document libraryof sharepoint online. In advance settings of the document library I set files to be opened by Office client application. Because there was an issue to open the files in browser. So I decided to open
the files in client application. I changed the settings in advacend settings in the document library so that user can open the files in client applicationtill users are facing issue. Below is the screen shot.
user is having office 2010 and IE11 installed in his computer. Could you please help me how to get rid of this empty login screen?
Kind Regards,
Supriyo Manna

Pagi Supriyo,
Tools>Internet Options>Security tab, click "reset all zones to default"
Trusted Sites Icon>Sites button...
Does the user have your sharepoint site listed there? Do you use Group Policy to map it to the Trusted Sites list? Do you have
http://microsoft.com listed(server versions of windows do)?
MS Online services (or any https site) will work just as well if they are mapped to the internet zone.. try removing them from the Trusted Sites list.. There are IE security zone settings preventing navigation into a zone of lower integrity....
If you require the site to be in your Trusted Sites list, then you need to add the following entries...
*.Microsoft.com
*.live.com
*.outlook.com
*.Microsoftonline.com
(the * notation includes all subdomains)...so that all the services from msonline are in the same security zone.
You may get better answers from a sharepoint support forum.

How to edit Excel files online

HI, is it possible to edit Excel files online, which where uploaded to webserver. I mean, opening an ecxel sheet changing different fields, and saving the changes without opening the .xls with my local office?
If yes, how?

you could try it with http://jakarta.apache.org/poi
That is a package that allows reading and writing of excel files, it wont be easy as you have to parse the excell file into HTMl that is editable.

Hello soussou97,
My approach is to save the values of your first and second column (the columns you want to sort your values with) in ArrayLists and then use dynamic variables to save the actual content. Look at the following code. It should be able to display the information
you need.
#Specify the path of the excel file
$FilePath = 'Path\file.xlsx'
#Specify the Sheet name
$SheetName = "Sheet"
# Create an Object Excel.Application using Com interface
$objExcel = New-Object -ComObject Excel.Application
# Disable the 'visible' property so the document won't open in excel
$objExcel.Visible = $false
# Open the Excel file and save it in $WorkBook
$WorkBook = $objExcel.Workbooks.Open($FilePath)
# Load the WorkSheet 'BuildSpecs'
$WorkSheet = $objExcel.sheets.item($SheetName)
# I am taking row count as 2, because the first row in my case is header
$intRow = 2
[System.Collections.ArrayList]$farr = @()
[System.Collections.ArrayList]$sarr = @()
Do {
# Reading the first column of the current row
$First = $WorkSheet.Cells.Item($intRow, 1).Value()
# Reading the second column of the current row
$Second = $WorkSheet.Cells.Item($intRow, 2).Value()
# Reading the third column of the current row
$Third = $WorkSheet.Cells.Item($intRow, 3).Value()
"First: " + $First
"Second: " + $Second
"Third :" + $Third
if($farr -notcontains $First){
$farr.Add($First)
if($sarr -notcontains $Second){
$sarr.Add($Second)
$variable = Get-Variable -Name "$First-$Second" -Scope Global -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
if ($variable -eq $null)
Write-Host "$First-$Second does not exist"
New-Variable -Name "$First-$Second" -Value $Third
else{
$val = Get-Variable -Name "$First-$Second" -ValueOnly
Set-Variable -Name "$First-$Second" -Value $val","$Third
$intRow++
}While ($WorkSheet.Cells.Item($intRow,1).Value() -ne $null)
foreach($dec in $farr){
foreach($city in $sarr){
$variable = Get-Variable -Name "$dec-$city" -Scope Global -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
if ($variable -ne $null){
$dec+"--"+$city+"--"+$variable.Value;
my sample data looks like this
col1 | col2 | col3
abc | qwe | poi
abc | jhg | dfg
de | wer | rew
de | iuz | mnb
abc | qwe | iop
de | wer | asd

Unable to edit html file

Hi,
I downloaded an html file from our server to edit the logo. However, I am unable to edit the logo part. It's like commented out. And once I opened the file on Dreamweaver CS5, I am getting this pop-up message:
"This page contains some SWF objects that may not work properly in the most recent versions of Internet Explorer. Dreamweaver cannot convert them to the new SWF markups. Please delete each of them and insert again."
I can't edit the html file and change the logo. Please help.
Thank you and God bless!
Dannie

Dannie,
Are you familiar with dreamweaver templates and editable regions? If the logo is in the template, then you need to modify the template file. The changes you make to the template will automatically be propogated to all of the files which use the template. If your html file uses a template, the html code will look like its commented out.
Also, you should not have to download the html fiile from your server because you should always keep a copy of all the html files on your computer.
I don't know about the SWF error.
Good luck.

"Open method of Workbooks class failed" when opening Excel file via Internet Explorer

(apologies, I posted this first to the general Office 2010 forum, but then realized this was probably a better spot to post)
We have an Excel COM add-in installed on users' PCs. This add-in responds to workbook open events by opening a particular XLA file (also deployed to the PC) to make certain features available. This process works flawlessly when Excel files are
opened locally - but when a user attempts to open an Excel file from an IE link, we get the following error: "Open method of Workbooks class failed". This is happening on the line that is trying to open the XLA file. This only happens
when launching an Excel link from IE - works fine in Chrome or Firefox.
I have found several posts on this topic, but no solutions:
1. This post (https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/forums/office/en-US/73c96005-84af-4648-b103-32b677205be3/open-method-of-workbooks-class-failed)
is the closest to our problem. In this case, the "answer" was that the user may not have access to the 2nd workbook being opened. But in our case, we're opening an XLA that is on the local machine, and I've confirmed that it is not
corrupt and accessible (read & write, just in case!) to Everyone.
2. This (very old) post (http://www.pcreview.co.uk/forums/open-method-workbooks-fails-excel-hosted-ie-t965608.html)
seems similar, but is talking about opening Excel inside of IE. This is not what we're doing - the link is supposed to (and does) open Excel outside of IE. Interestingly, Excel.exe is being launched with the "-embedded" flag, even
though it isn't running in the IE window. When launching Excel by opening the file locally, Excel.exe is run with the "/dde" flag instead. Clearly the "-embedded" mode is what is causing the problem. I could change the
links on the web page to use some JavaScript to open Excel differently... unfortunately, the links are actually generated by SharePoint (the Excel files are in a SP repository), so this is not really an option.
3. This Microsoft KB article (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/268016) talks about problems opening an XLA directly from IE... but this is the case of a link pointing
directly to an XLA file, not opening a regular workbook that in turn opens an XLA, as is my case. In fact, this article specifically points out in the "More Information" section that "End users do not normally open XLAs; instead they open
an XLS that (if needed) loads one or more XLAs during startup." ==> precisely what I'm trying to do that is giving me the error!
I've replicated the situation with a very simple COM add-in (created in VS2010 using VB.Net) and a very simple XLA file (does nothing, just pops up a message in auto_open). For anyone wanting to try it out, here is the exact test case:
1. In Excel, create a simple XLA file containing only the following code, and save it in C:\TEMP\dummy.xla:
Sub Auto_Open()
MsgBox "Auto Open fired"
End Sub
2. In Visual Studio, create a new Excel 2010 Add-In. I created mine via Visual Basic, but I doubt the choice of language matters. Place the following code in ThisAddin.vb:
Public Class ThisAddIn
Private Sub ThisAddIn_Startup(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Startup
AddHandler Me.Application.WorkbookOpen, AddressOf Application_WorkbookOpen
End Sub
Private Sub ThisAddIn_Shutdown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Shutdown
End Sub
Sub Application_WorkbookOpen(ByVal workbook As Excel.Workbook)
On Error GoTo ErrHandler
If (Not workbook.Name.Contains("dummy.xla")) Then
MsgBox("Workbook open")
Application.Workbooks.Open("C:\temp\dummy.xla")
Application.Workbooks("dummy.xla").RunAutoMacros(Excel.XlRunAutoMacro.xlAutoOpen)
End If
Exit Sub
ErrHandler:
MsgBox(Err.Description)
End Sub
End Class
3. Build & publish this add-in and install it on the same machine as the XLA created in step 1.
4. Create and save an empty Excel workbook (I called mine WayneTest1.xlsx) - save it locally (on your desktop), and put a copy somewhere on your web server (I put mine directly in c:\inetpub).
5. Create an HTML file with a link to that workbook, saving it to the same web server location - here is mine:
<html>
<body>
<a href="WayneTest1.xlsx">Link to Excel file</a>
</body>
</html>
6. Double click the workbook on your desktop (from step 4) - opens fine, I get the "workbook open" message, following by the "Auto Open fired" message.
7. In Internet Explorer, navigate to the HTML file specified in step 5 and click on the link - when prompted, select "Open" - I get the "workbook open" message, following by the error message "Open method of Workbooks class failed".
Here are a few things I've ruled out / tried so far:
- Unchecked all the "Protected View" settings in Excel, made no difference
- Unchecked all the "File block settings" in Excel, made no difference
- Made sure dummy.xla was open for read & write to Everyone
- Made sure the web page was in Trusted sites and set the security level to Low for those sites in IE
- Tried making the local desktop file (step 6) readonly, made no difference (i.e. launching it locally still worked fine)
- Tried using Excel 2013 - made no difference
Any ideas / suggestions?

Unable to edit Hosts file in Win7 Home Prem 64bit.

Clean install. Administrator account. Unable to edit the permissions of the hosts file. There is one in the drivers\etc file, which I cannot edit. There is supposed to be one in %systemroot% \SysWOW64\drivers\etc but there is no etc folder in the drivers folder.
Turned off DNS Server. gpedit.msc not found when calling it in "run". This is the first time I've used 64bit anything, so a bit of a newb in that respect.
Any ideas?

Hi,
As you would know, some of the Windows 7 users can’t save the host file how they like it. The host file itself will simply vanish what the user had done with it.
In my scenario, I was unable to fix this even after all the instructions provided in above posts. Hence, I have come up with my own idea and luckily it
worked.<o:p></o:p>
For those users who experience this problem, here are the instructions to fix it.
First of all, you should have the administrative privileges to edit the host file. In normal case, if an admin user directly go to the host file in system 32 and add his preferences
and then save it, it should keep the changes. However, in some wicked scenarios, it will not. I had done a detailed research on this through all the available online forums and even contacted Microsoft several times with no luck.
So, here you go with a correct solution for this problem.
Note: If you are not comfortable with Windows OS and don’t know what you are doing, this process can mess up things.
Hence, do not attempt if you are not 100% sure you can make it.
Login to an administrator account.
In the run command (Windows key + R) type, “control folders” and hit enter.
Click on the tab called view.
Select the radio button for Show hidden files, folders and drivers –ON.
Uncheck the ‘Hide extension for known file types-ON
Click on Apply and then OK.
Type “drivers” in run command and hit enter. It will take you to where the folder “drivers” located in System 32.
From the “drivers” folder, double click the folder named “etc.”
Now you can see the “host” file along with others.
Now, in the search area in start menu, type “notepad.exe” and open the notepad.exe as administrator. (In order to do this, you can right click on the notepad.exe shown and select
“Run as Administrator.” If UAC prompted, click YES/OK)
Now, you will have a notepad open with administrative privileges.
At the top left side of the notepad click on “file” and then select “Open.”
A box will appear which will allow you select the file to open. Carefully, navigate to the location where the “host” file is located. To do that, select the drive where you
installed Windows. If you have the Windows installed in C: select ‘Local Disk (C :)’ > Windows > System 32 > drivers > etc. At this point, you might not have another option to proceed or select from. The window would be empty. To proceed further,
select the option “All files” from the drop down menu which is located above the “Open” and “Cancel” button. You can now see all the files located in etc folder.
Select “hosts” from the menu and click on “Open.” Note: You can either click on open or double click on the file.
Now, you will have the host file information open in the notepad which you had already initiated before with administrative privileges.
Make whatever changes you as you wish. (Example: If you need to block a web site called
www.block123.com you can type 127.0.0.1
www.block123.com right under the local hosts.
Make sure you do not change any other letters or characters which are already saved in host file.
This will completely mess up your computer. For more information on the information about host file, refer the Microsoft web site:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/972034 . If you
have accidently delete/edit anything from host file, please delete the complete information stored in host file and copy and paste the host file information from Microsoft which is appropriate for your Operating System.)
Click on “file” again and select “Save as” and save it in etc. If the path is showing correct to etc folder, save it to etc. If it is navigated to somewhere else, follow the
instructions provided above and select etc folder and then save it.
Now, go back to the actual host file location which is in System32 > Drivers > etc (You would have it already open if you had followed the instructions just like the way
I have provided)
There you can see 2 host files. One which has already been there and the other one you just saved.
Among the two, one is called “hosts” and the ‘type’ would be ‘file.’ This is the original host file. The other which you have just saved will be named as “hosts.txt” with the
file type as ‘Text Document.’
Right click on the original host file and select rename. You can even click on that file and press F2. This will enable the option to rename the file. Rename the original host
file as “hostold” and hit enter.
Now, select the second host file which we have saved as a text document and rename it as “hosts.” Make sure that you DELETE the .txt file extension in order to change the type
“Text Document” to “File” and hit enter.
Now, you have successfully saved the host file with your preferences.
You can now delete the file which we renamed as “hostold.”
We are done. You would need to do this process all over if you need to edit the host file again. I know it is difficult, however, it is our own requirement and we have to invest
few minutes on this.
Enjoy your computer with a great feeling that you have finally edited the host file as per your wish and take it from here. Wish you luck.
Should you have any questions, please feel free to ask.

Unable to open excel file in document list

I have an excel workbook that reads from several SharePoint lists. I have a group of users (5 to be exact) that are unable to open the excel file when its in the document list, however, when I email them the workbook they can open it and update the pivot
tables on it (that read from several lists). They were able to open the file in the past and this issue started around 6/20 when office updates were pushed out.
When they open it they get the following error message:
Excel Web Access please contact your admin.
The document list has 20 excel workbooks in it and they can open the other 19 without any issues and 5 of them including the one they can't open connect to the same lists for data. I even created a test doc library and added the file into it and they
got the same error message.
What could be causing this?
note: we not using excel web services, just uploading workbooks where some connect to lists for data

Hello,
Are you opening file in browser? if so please try to open in client by changing the library settings-->advanced settings-->then set client.
Another thing, what permission are given to both users. Try to provide some higher permission and see the result.
