asked on
change ie9's "open or save" dialog to look like the old IE8 dialog?
Our Excel and Access programs call a third party application program that automatically
1 opens a Web browser to a government website,
2 "Pushes" a button on the website that instructs the Web site to create a file on our c: drive.
The third party program does not work because it is expecting to see an IE8 style "open or save" dialog come up.
The new IE9 "open or save" dialog has some technical differences that the third party developers do not have time to address.
IE9 has an "IE8 compatibility mode" but it does not resolve this problem. (It did resolve several other unrelated problems.)
Is there any advanced options (see attached) that would tell IE9 to use the old style IE8 "open or save" dialog? (I already tried "inline autocomplete" but they did not work.
Or maybe a registry setting.
