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.

Editing powerpoint files in sharepoint

Hi,
One of my clients is having issues editing powerpoint files in sharepoint 2013 (Office 365 hosted).
He gets the following error when clicks edit and then clicks check out.
"We're having trouble connecting to the server. If this keeps happening, contact your help desk."
I have managed to work a fix for him by getting him to click the ... to the right of the document and then clicking check out and then opening the file again to edit it. However this is a sudden change to his process and an extra few steps he does not want
to keep having to do.
He is currently not the only user in the organisation to having this problem either.
I have tried trawling through many instances of people having this error but it mainly seems to be in the links to the files which does not seem to be the case here as I have checked that problem. There must be some other underlying issue that due to my
lack of experience with SharePoint 2013 (Office 365 hosted) I just am unable to discover.
Thanks in advance for all help and advice it will be much appreciated!

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,
Sara

Dynamically update swf file in sharepoint using xml data

Hi,
I need some help/enlightenment on how to auto-update the swf file in sharepoint using xml data.
I am encountering an error "Cannot access External Data" and pointing to adobe's Cross-domain policy file extension.
My questions is:
1. Where should the cross-domain file be copied? In the sharepoint webserver's root folder?
Right now, we generate the swf file from xcelsius and manually upload them in the sharepoint. However, we wish to automate the data content of this file.
Thanks for the help.

GetFileByServerRelativeUrl.... since you're getting a FILE, you'll need a URL to a FILE (not just a library)... by SERVER relative URL, so you'll need to include the site collection path and such, not just the subsite relative URL.
Now working fine....
url: appweburl + "/_api/SP.AppContextSite(@target)/web/ GetFileByServerRelativeUrl('/sites/apps/Shared Documents/test.txt')/CheckOut()?@target='" + hostweburl + "'",

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.

Open and edit PDF files like sharepoint

In sharepoint when we open a PDF document, an ActiveX control gets installed, and the file opens in Adobe Reader installed at the client machine. There is also an additional menu item that allows the file to be checked in back to the server.
I need to achieve a similar kind of functionality for my application. Can some one guide me on where I need to start?
The purpose here is to automate the task of downloading the PDF file, editing it and then uploading it back to server.
I am ok if there is any way the file can be opened in the browser itself and then edited and saved (like by using any activeX control).
Are there any tools or licenses I need to buy for this ?
Thanks

Adobe Reader won't but Acrobat Pro XI can open the same document in two windows and it updates both as you make changes "on the fly"...
The downside? $499.
Acrobat Standard is $299 and I don't know if it can do the "one doc two window" editing.

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.

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 Edit DOCx file converted by ExportPDF - HELP!

I am unable to edit a DOCx file that I created by converting a PDF file using the ExportPDF subscription.
The file was originally created in Adobe InDesign. I have the PDF. I need to convert it to DOCx to edit the text. The document is basically text and a few photos. I don't care about the photos.
When I convert the PDF using ExportPDF I get a DOCx file but I am not able to edit the text. It appears to have converted it into graphics. I tried to highlight the 'boxes' hoping to use the Word 'convert tables to text' feature, but that does not seem to work here.
I tested ExportPDF with another PDF that was created from a text-only DOCx file. ExportPDF converted it seamlessly to a DOCx file.
How can I convert a PDF file, originally created in Adobe InDesign, to a DOCx file in which I can edit the text.
Thanks.

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

Is IE running in compatibility mode, and if you're accessing CA from the SharePoint server, did you run it "As Administrator"?

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.
