Opening Attachments issues

[davesexcel]

Anybody else having problems opening attachments today?

[Fluff13]

Yup, there are a couple of threads about it.

Nothing we can do until the tech team takes action - all we can do is tell them (that has been done).

I can open workbooks in Firefox - I get a repair message, but the files open OK when I click YES. On my iPad, Safari won't open anything.

What browser are you using? Maybe try another.

[JeteMc]

Just downloaded Firefox and tried to open a file, did not work.

[AliGW]

That's strange.

[Fluff13]

I can't open files regardless of whether I use FireFox, Chrome or Edge.

[AliGW]

Are we all using Windows 10?

[Fluff13]

I am............

[Fluff13]

If I move the files to a trusted location, then I can open them. Which is fine if they xlsx files, but not if they are macro enabled.

@AliGW, I am using Windows 10 version 1909 for x64
@Fluff13, I moved a file to my documents folder, which is where I store Excel file with which I have worked and from which I can still open files. However after moving the new file from the Download to the Document folder it still would not open. Am I missing something?


It may also be a minor point, however it seems that I am not receiving notifications at this time.

It may be worth noting that Alan seems to be able to open files. Looking at this thread (post #5) it seems that Alan is using a 32 bit version of Excel, so perhaps that is at least part of the reason.

I can download with Chrome and get a message in Excel that it needs to do a repair. Repair is done and I am able to open file.

[Fluff13]

Just downloaded 3 files & all of them open without any problems.

[JeteMc]

Yes! Just opened a file with no repair message also. THANK YOU to whomever got this fixed.

[AliGW]

I have had no confirmation, but it does appear to be fixed - keep your fingers crossed!

[FDibbins]

TT report that this issue has been resolved

[AliGW]

Thanks, Ford.
