download to save excel file from IE7
I used to have an option to either "save" or "open" an excel format file from
the web. It would either allow me to open in a webpage window, or save the file to my disk. I accidentally unchecked a box, which has made it so that I can no longer save the file to disk. I need to be able to save these excel files to disk. Any ideas on how to get back to that point? Would it be a preference in excel? or IE? |

How to Configure Internet Explorer to Open Office
Documents in the Appropriate Office Program Instead of in Internet Explorer http://support.microsoft.com/?scid=162059 You'll want to check that "confirm open after download" box. jasonr17 wrote: I used to have an option to either "save" or "open" an excel format file from the web.

download to save excel file from IE7
Dave,
I went through and checked the "confirm open after download" box for each of the Microsoft Excel Worksheet file types. It is still opening it. It still jumps to dropping information into a new web page, (where I can then save it if I like)... I want to eliminate that step, and simply have it prompt me to save when I hit the export button. Any suggestions? Should I "Restore Defaults" in the folder options menu?

I'm not sure that would help--and I'm not sure how much it would damage any
other setting you've used. Can you rightclick on the link to the .xls file and choose "Save Target As"? (I'd retry toggling the setting, too.) jasonr17 wrote: Dave, I went through and checked the "confirm open after download" box for each of the Microsoft Excel Worksheet file types.

Sometimes, the second time is the charm!
Glad it worked for you. jasonr17 wrote: Dave, Thank you... I went in and Toggled the switch one more time, and it worked. I appreciate your help.
