my user is pulling up a small list of companies in the list tab.
When he clicks download excel beeps and never opens with the data.
anyone know the potential cause(s) for this?
IE 8
Maximo 7.1
ok found something strange that works for the user but have no idea as to why. When he held the ctrl button down while he clicked download it worked but i dont understand why he needs to do that to work correctly?

I've seen this happen when there is already an excel window open or a user has already downloaded a list once and attempts to do it again without closing the window that previously open. So i would make sure all popup windows are closed..

We have a similar issue in 7.5.04…IE8…SQL database
We opened a PMR with IBM who is working on a resolution. It happen even when excel is not open. What we have to do is before we click on the download link we start with a RIGHT click and select ‘Save Target As’ doing it this way we are able to download in an excel format.
