This probably isn't overly helpful, but I just tried using the same version of the Lync 2013 Planning Tool as you and am not having any issues.
What happens if you try and re-save the topology as a new file?

Unable to open emailed Excel files

my excel files change to XLS and can't be opened by the receipient when I email them, I have to send it to my pc at work, open it as excel from the list of applications, save it as an excel file and email it from work which is highly frustrating. I've heard it might be something to do with the recent purchase of Snow Leopard, Would be grateful for any help.

Actually Microsoft Excel has changed formatting. You have several options of upgrading to a more compatible Excel or equivalent*:
http://www.macmaps.com/crossplatform.html
2007 was the big changeover. So if you are using an old Excel, you probably will run into problems. Using the Compress command on files stored on the Mac, Winzip on files on the PC will make them more portable for e-mail. Just use normal compression. Not all decompression engines have encrypted Zip file support, or 9x compresison support. On the Mac, add the paperclip icon to your compose new message toolbar via the View menu -> Customize toolbar. This will bring up a dialog with a Save Windows Friendly attachment when you send a message, so it is more portable for Windows. Use an anti-virus tool on both sides, as Macs aren't succeptable to Windows viruses, and can carry them back to Windows users. And there is this recent malware attack:

Opening an excel file in jsp

how do you open an excel file in my jsp and target it to a table?

can't it be done using the file class?
i just want to open the excel file, that's all--
Open means what ?
See if this is useful
String myDB = "jdbc:odbc:Driver={Microsoft Excel Driver (*.xls)};DBQ=c:/book.xls;"
+ "DriverID=22;READONLY=false";
//con=DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:odbc:myExcel");
con=DriverManager.getConnection(myDB,"","");
dbmd=con.getMetaData();
stat=con.createStatement();
rs=stat.executeQuery("Select * from `Sheet1$`");//[Sheet1$]--
I think it is not possible with File class. and if it is so
then how you are going to handle the data ?

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.

If you have any further assistance about code/program, I recommend you post the question to MSDN forum:

I´m trying to open an excel file in numbers not being successful. The error msg is unexpectedly error using plugin SFCompatibility can you help me?

I´m trying to open an excel file in numbers not being successful. The error msg is unexpectedly error using plugin SFCompatibility can you help me? Already changed the extension of the excel document to xlsx an now gives an unknown import error.

In Excel have you tried saving directly to xls (not xlsx) and opening the xls in Numbers?
If you have a complicated workbook in Excel that uses lots of Excel's advanced features, Numbers may not be able to handle the import. It does pretty well on basic things, though.
If you're just trying to get data into Numbers, then often copy-paste from Excel is easier than trying to open xls files.

How do I open a postscript file, like I open an excel file?

I'm trying to open a file that I saved as a .ps.
I want to open it in the same maner as I open an excel file?

To open an excel file, such as *.xls, you need Excel; to open a *.ps file, you need Ghostscript. It's free. You should be able to find it on internet.

Open an excel file from jsp

Hi,
I want to open an excel file on click of a link in the jsp.
At present iam using href which i feel is not correct as it is not able to recognize the excel format and paints the entire screen with special characters.Can anyone please help me out.
Thanks,

In your server, there should be some way to tell the server the mime type of a file based on the file's extension. So, you tell the server for every file with the extension of .xls, it should use the mime type of application/vnd.ms-excel. Then, when the link is clicked on, the browser will receive the mime-type message of application/vnd.ms-excel and will open Excel to work with the file.
Hope this helps,
Ron

I would suggest using an xtra like Buddy API or FileXtra4
(depending on
your answer to the above question) and using them to run an
"open"
command on the full path to an Excel file that you pass to
the xtra's
method. For example, using Buddy API:
on mouseUp me
-- assuming you have a document named "document.xls"
-- in a folder named "Excel" located next to the movie file
that
executes this command:
OK = baOpenFile("@/Excel/document.xls", "normal")
if OK < 32 then
-- an error occurred, check the BudAPI docs for numbers and
their
meanings:
alert "Error opening document:" && OK
end if
end

Opening an excel file on server side using servlets

hi, am having a small problem for launching an excel file. Standalone,
i use
Desktop.getDesktop().open( new File("C:/test.xls") );
and it works fine but when using servlets via tomcat, it does not launch. Any idea?
actually am using ajax to allow a user to remotely launch an excel
file (the excel file contains a macro which will generate and save a
chart as image) on the server.

Do you realize that this will only open that Excel file at the Server machine, not at the Client machine? If you're testing (read: acting as Client) at the same machine as where the Server runs, then you will see the result of Desktop#open(). But if you're testing at a different machine (read: as in the real world) than where the Server runs, then you won't see the result of Desktop#open(), because this is executed at the Server machine itself, not at the Client machine.

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,

Error message: "Unable to open the physical file" when trying to attach AdventureWorks database

I have searched the internet and this forum and have not found an answer...
I am trying to install the AdventureWorks database into my single instance of MS SQL Server Express 2005. I am logged into my machine as an administrator and logged into SQL Server 2005 express 'sa'. I attempt to run the following script:
exec sp_attach_db @dbname = N'AdventureWorks',
@filename1 = N'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\Data\AdventureWorks_Data.mdf',
@filename2 = N'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\Data\AdventureWorks_log.ldf'
The error message I get back is:
Msg 5120, Level 16, State 101, Line 1
Unable to open the physical file "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\Data\AdventureWorks_Data.mdf". Operating system error 5: "5(Access is denied.)".
The folder "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\Data" and all the files in it are read-write. I am 100.0000% certain the files "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\Data\AdventureWorks_Data.mdf" and "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\Data\AdventureWorks_Log.ldf" exist! They are the result of running the installation program AdventureWorksDB.msi, which I downloaded from: http://www.codeplex.com/MSFTDBProdSamples/Release/ProjectReleases.aspx?ReleaseId=4004.
What do I have to do to install the AdventureWorkds database????

Hello,
To try to help you, please, could you give some more informations ?
- the operating system (XP/Vista), the edition ( Pro/Home...) and the service pack
- usually, the installer installs the both files in C:\Program Files\Microsoft Sql Server\Samples. Is there any change in the location or have you moved the both files ?
- could you check with the files explorer , that the 2 files are read-write and not read only( find one file, right-click on it, properties and in the 1st tabpage, you should see a checkbox read-only ( if checked , unchecke it ) ?
- have you Sql Server Management Studio Express Edition ( at least SP1 ) ?
If no, download it and use it to attach
in the object explorer,
click on your instance to expand it
right click on databases
in the contextual menu, click on attach
in the new form,click on add
you arrive on a second form : find your file , click on it, and OK
it's the simplest way to attach ( the sp_-attach_db is complicated to type )
the error messages are sometimes more clear in SSMSEE than in Sqlcmd
Try also to attach ( thru SSMSEE or Sqlcmd but in using the windows authentification )
NB: i hope that you are not trying to attach AdventureWorks on a remote instance and on a remote computer ( it would explain access denied )
We are waiting for your feedback to try to help you more efficiently
Have a nice day

Microsoft Forms and Microsoft Visual Basic while opening the Excel file

Hello,
I have issues with 2010 64 bit Office Pro Plus Excel. Whenever I open an Excel file (97-2003 worksheet) which has macros then I get below 2 errors in sequence.
Please note that all macro settings are enabled and below are my system configs.
Win 7 Ultimate 64 bit,
MS Office Pro Plus 2010 64 bit with SP2.
Googled all and tried but in vein and also note that I dont have any .exd files under ../forms to delete. Please help.
Please note that for others with same system config/office versions and same 97-2003 worksheet it works so issues is only in my system.
First Error
Microsoft Forms
Could not load an object because it is not available on this machine.
Second Error
Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications
Compile error in hidden module: MainUtilities2.
This error commonly occurs when code is incompatible with the version, platform, or architecture of this application. Click "Help" for information on how to correct this error.
Thanks.

Your macro's will not run in a Office 64 environment only in a 32bit environment. The 64bit environment has a whole different setup and macro's created in an earlier 32 bit environment will stop working.
So if you want to use them in a 64 Office environment you have to rewrite the macro's.
