XLSM Excel files do not open from WEB
« on: July 17, 2009, 04:21:11 PM »
   

When I access my Linkstation Duo via the WEB, when I click OPEN on a .XLSM file, it opens WINZIP?

I'm usingWinXP Pro, and Office 2007.

 

Any way to fix this....

 

Clicking on the .XLSM file in Windows, opens Excel, so the associations are correct.

Not a resolution but more of a workaround.

 

Try using firefox >= 3.0.11.  Does it work?

If so, it's an incompatibility issue w/ Buffalo's Web Access web server and recent Internet Explorer versions.  Will require an update to Buffalo firmware to address. Not sure if/when that will become available but I'm also interested..

 

Hope this helps,

   Firefox worked for me. Could not download the 2007 file via IE without it coming down as a zip. Firefox didn't have that issue.
