Hi,<br />
Is this a problem only with your particular website? Does the browser open Excel documents from other websites? It looks like the mime types in the browser needs to be fixed. BTW, is this a problem with everyone or just one PC? Also, can you speficy what browser is it? IE or Firefox or something else?<br />
<br />

Hi,<br />
Perhaps you can look at this MSKB and get more info about opening Excel files in the native application instead of the browser: <br />

How about adding something like this to the ASP page?<br />
<br />
&lt;%<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp;'Change HTML header to specify Excel's MIME content type<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp;Response.Buffer = TRUE<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp;Response.ContentType = &quot;application/vnd.ms-excel&quot;<wbr /><br />
%&gt;
</div>

Hi<br />
<br />
I have a website set up running on Tomcat, pages are delivered via IIS <br />
<br />
When a user clicks on a link to an excel doc it opens as a lot of code and does not start excel on their pcs.<br />
<br />
I have looked for a found numerous web.xml files and have added the mime types where relevant.<br />
<br />
However this still has not solved the problem, .doc files work fine by the way<br />
<br />
any ides of what else could be preventing the files from opening correctly<br />
<br />

Links to .xls files open showing code and not as excel documents

A web server refers to the software that helps to deliver web content that can be accessed either through the Internet or through an intranet. The primary function of a web server is to store, process and deliver web pages to clients. The communication between client and server takes place using the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP). The most common use of web servers is to host websites, but there are other uses such as gaming, data storage, running enterprise applications, handling email, FTP, etc.
