The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Multiple open/save prompt or bogus errors are generated.

Asked by trainmom in ColdFusion Application Server

Tags: prompt, excel, inline, open

I am getting "strange behaviors"  while trying to open an excel worksheet in IE.
Several machines running 2000; NT4.0 with IE 5.50 sp2  and IE 6.0 work fine; but others
running with IE5.50 sp2 and IE6.0 don't work properly.  I have checked to make sure the xls extension is associated with excel and that excel is in fact not ms-excel, etc.  But I am obviously overlooking something.

  I get the dialog to open or save the file(Saving the file works fine--but, we don't really want folks to save the file)
  But when I clink Open ---   Excel does load and I get "Error Occurred while processing Request" and it says it cannot find a date (this is a bogus error since it works when saving is selected)  Also, the worksheet name is not what I expected.  I get the  Name of the PrintMyFileToExcel.cfm  and not "PUMPED.xls"

This is the code I have been using:
<cfsetting enablecfoutputonly="Yes">
<cfset tabchar = chr(9)>
<cfset newline = chr(13) & chr(10)>
<cfcontent type="application/excel">
<cfheader name="content-disposition" value="filename=PUMPED.xls">


I get the same results when I add " inline" to the code I get to:
<cfheader name="content-disposition" value="inline;filename=PUMPED.xls">

BUt, when I use attachment:
<cfheader name="content-disposition" value="attachment;filename=PUMPED.xls">
The Prompts to open or save appear TWICE and this is a real bore.  How can I eliminate one of the prompts?

Can someone help me out here and straightened out?
