I am posting the steps that worked for me. Update: Finally it seems like I had got the culprit behind this wired behavior. But opening file from this location too gave me the same error. Thereafter I mapped a network drive to the following url ' to which I was able to browse the location where the 'Sales.xlsx' was located. Update: I had disabled the server firewall but the problem still persisted. Now I am completely out of options on what to do next to get this working. I tried opening the 'Sales.xlsx' after downloading the file from "Shared Documents", which opened up without any issues. Tried applying the "127.0.0.1" as proxy, didn't work and reverted it back. In excel unchecked all "protected view" options under 'Trust Center'. In excel added the Sharepoint the URL ' under 'Trust Center' options. Unchecked "Auto proxy detection" in IE settings. Un-check 'Open the database for editing'. Click Finish> Check 'Yes, register the database for me'. Click Next> Browse to your mailing-list spreadsheet. Then: File->New Database Click 'Connect to an existing database' Select 'Spreadsheet' in the drop-down menu. The browser version i am using is IE8.Īfter searching the net, I tried the following steps but nothing turned to solve the problemĮnabled the "Desktop Experience" feature in windows server 2008 Start Open/Libre Office if no document is open.
VERIFYING OPEN OFFICE MAC TAKING A WHILE PLUS
MS Office 2010 Professional plus installed on the same machine (not activated). The same machine is used for development. I am running SharePoint 2010 server on windows 2008 R2. The same is the case for word documents too. After which the excel shows an error "Could not open ' documents/Sales.xlsx'" While trying to open an excel document stored in "Shared Documents" library, the excel application opens up with a login prompt, to which I passed the login credentials of the site.
