Excel 2010: Launching from Browser

Hi Experts -

I am running MSIE 8 and for some reason it will not allow me to launch right into an Excel instance from SharePoint. I've done it before. I'd simply click on the Excel file within SharePoint and it would open right into Excel, allowing me to save my changes right to the server. Now, I have to save the Excel file to my local drive, then upload it back to SharePoint at the end of the day. Is there a browser setting of some sort I can adjust that will allow me to launch right into Excel when clicking on an Excel file in SharePoint? Any help is greatly appreciated.

There are document library settings that can be configured to set the behavior of how a file opens. Check under advance settings of the document library.

Hope that helps

Hey Guys, thanks for both responses.

Hello itsmevic,

It is in "Archive" menu in excel.

Archive -> Options -> Trust center -> configuration -> Protected view

Ah, I figured out what was going on. For some reason SharePoint is not agreeing with my MSIE 64-bit browser. It works like a charm with the MSIE 32-bit browser.
