    Users unable to download files - very irritating...

    Pepe Le Mokko has previously commented about this irritating problem.

    The problem remains. I am now starting to flag up all instances where users have been unable to access files on Excel Forum, in the hope that someone will be able to figure out what's going on. At the time of posting, I have had toemail attachments to users to get round this issue on ~6 occasions in the last day or so. I can open the attachments, but the OPs can't. The're asked to log in again, endlessly.

    EF users everywhere: if you can't download a file in similar circumstances, please add the URL of the thread here, too:

    Not being able to download an attachment is a problem.

    However, did you ever think about posting your solution in the reply itself, not in another attachment?

    Sometimes that's not possible... I think that the problem does need to be addressed by someone, however.

    I see you also have 365.
    Upon signing up for the Office 'Insiders' I have begun experiencing the same. I don't know if there is a connection, but the timing is interesting. It is intermittent. The only way I can download when it does happen is to close all wbs and restart Excel.

    I did not have this problem before ... (unless we count the now corrected 2016/17 fiasco era ... please note the timeline on this thread)
