File download for Excel
All,
I'm having a problem downloading files to Microsoft Excel 2003. It gives me the option to open or save the file, the next screen is the file download screen. It stays on that screen without downloading. That screens has estimated time left, download to, transfer rate. Somehow I need to make download to 'Temporary Folder', and I think it will start downloading. Any tips, suggestions on how to make my files downoad to temporary folder would be greatly appreciated. Thanks |

File download for Excel
I think 1 of 2 things are happening.
1) It is a large file and you just aren't waiting long enough. 2) the file is being blocked. Usually in this case a large gray rectangle at the top of you Internet explorer will indicate that the file has been blocked. You have to click the box and allow files to be temporairly unblocked. If you have the yahoo.com add-in on your browser you have to open the block pull-down and allow the file to be unblocked. there are lots of different blockers so you may need to use other methods to get the file unblocked.

File download for Excel
I've tried both options, I've waited over 30 mins and no pop-ups, or other
apps blocking it. The file is fairly small 16.9 KB. I have an alternate work computer where it works w/o a problem. I tried mirroring the same settings, pretty much the same, only difference is when file is downloading on the computer that's not working it's not designating where to, on the computer that works it says download to: temporary folder.
