tools->internet options->security->custom level(internet)->
ENABLE Automatic prompting for file downloads.

This can actually be found in the Cognos Knowledge Base: Document #1015896.  They indicate that you should add the site as a trusted site.

Yes, but that is incorrect and just solves the problem by banding an entire domain.

Go into windows explorer

Windows Explorer>Tools>Folder Options> File Types>Select ââ,¬ËœÃ¢â,¬ÂXLSââ,¬Â>Advanced



Untick Browse in the same window.

it will then work..

Hi,
Please let us know what version of Excel you are using. My users face similar problems when they have Excel 2003 Installed in their system and try to open the report using Excel 2000 or vice versa.
