I have some users in my company that can't open Excel files from any document libraries on SharePoint 2010. The receive the error message &quot;An error occurred. Please try again.&quot; <br />
<br />
&nbsp;This affects less than 5 people in a large company. &nbsp;They have the Full Control permissions and have been able to open the files previously. &nbsp;There has been no changes made to the server either. &nbsp;I can't find anything that points to this in the event viewer. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
It doesn't matter if which computer that they try to open this up from either. &nbsp; All computers are Windows 7 Professional with IE 9 and Office 2010 x64. &nbsp; &nbsp;<br />
<br />
I can't find anything that points specifically to this exact error. None of the excel files contain pivot tables. &nbsp; &nbsp;This one has me stumped. <br />
<br />
Thanks.
