Good morning all,

I have two users that when running the same report from the dashboard get different actions when showing the output. For one user it just opens an excel worksheet inside of the IE window. For the other user it brings up the IE File Download box with Open, Save, Close options and will open the ouput in an actual Excel workbook.

Is this a setting somewhere in WebFocus setup or on the users' PC, maybe in IE?

Thanks,

This is not a WebFOCUS issue. You are correct in assuming that this is IE related. I have been in this situation before. Check out the link below for a quick article to make the change on the user's PC.

Configure IE

Thanks,
Dave
