How to Stop AutoOpening of XLS (Of2003) inside IE
How to Stop AutoOpening of XLS (Of2003) inside IE
I have installed XP SP2 and Office 2003 Pro, both fully updated via WindowsUpdate and OfficeUpdate. Whenever I click a link that will kick off an Excel file (XLS), I do not get the option to Open or Save, it automatically opens the file inside an IE window. 1. How can I restore the option of Open or Save? I do not want it to automatically open it inside IE. I want to save it to the disk so I can open it inside Excel or import it into Access. 2. When IE currently opens the XLS file, I go to the View-Toolbars and select Standard so I can select the PrintPreview icon (since IE does not provide it when opening the XLS). However, when I select the PrintPreview icon, nothing happens. I can select it again and again, and nothing still happens. I performed a repair on the Office 2003 installation, and it still behaves as such. For #1 above, I tried going to Explorer, Folder Options-File Types, selecting the XLS extension and then unchecking the "Confirm open after download" but it still auto-opens the file inside an IE window. Any thought(s)? I will be posting in both the Excel and IE forums as it a bit of both. |
