In Series 7 Cognos Connection I am trying to open up a report in excel format. I have to hold down the control key in order for Excel to open the report. It does not matter which of the three excel formats I choose. It started happening when I upgraded to IE 7.0. Some of the other users have IE 7.0 but are able to open reports in excel format just fine. I saw this happen in the past when users had a google or yahoo tool bar, CC would start to open in excel but bfr the excel window would open it would disappear. I am able to open excel just fine by itself and open excel docs just fine too. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!
Holding the control key + c allows pop ups to not be blocked in I.E.
Your issue is not with Cognos but with your I.E. as you already probably already no.
I would suggest looking over your I.E. security settings and double check ALL your pop up blockers (ie.. Yahoo, Google, I.E. toolbars) and allow pop ups from your cognos URL.
Hi,
Please add Cognos Url in Compatibility view settings,trusted sites and also remove/unchecked "turn on pop blocker" check box ( Under internet options-> privacy tab)
Thanks,
