can't open excel files via link in IE 6


Recommended Posts

When clicking on a link to an excel file in IE 6, an error box from Excel states that it could not open:

http://gccm.web. (the path name to the requested file)

Interestingly this link works in FireFox. No problem opening excel files using FireFox.

Search MS Knowledge Base and found an article referencing this exact problem. It referenced a hotfix so I obtained the hotfix and installed it.

Know when you click on the link to open up an excel file in Internet Explorer v6, a more detailed error message appears:

Microsoft Office Excel cannot access the file

'http://gccm.web. (the path name to the requested file)

The file name or path does not exist

The file is being used by another program

The workbook you are trying to save has the same name as a current open workbook.

Again, the link works fine when using FireFox.

Any idea of what is going wrong here?
