Ty,

 

Thanks for your response.

 

I’ve logged the case with Blackboard, so I’ll see what they come back with.

Hi Richard,

I have had a few emails from Staff working from home, with accessing files after they have uploaded them.

I believe it is a security setting in IE, but am not certain.

Ty

Subject: Issues opening Excel Files with IE9

 

Hi everyone,

 

Has anyone experience any issues opening Excel files (either .xls or .xlsx) from within Blackboard (9.1, SP6) when using Internet Explorer 9 on Windows 7?

 

When clicking on the link to a file, a new browser window opens and prompts the user to either ‘Open’, ‘Save’ or ‘Save As’. Clicking Open results in a blank window – Excel doesn’t load and neither does the document.

 

The documents load correctly when using Firefox and all other MS Office documents appear to work correctly too.

 

Many thanks
