Can't open Office documents from network share
  • Dear,

    I have a user named X that can't open Office documents from two specific shares. We call this shares T and U.

    When the user X opens Office documents the error message is "...xlsx can't be opened". The problem is not client specific because when I login on the same client I can open the documents without any problem. If you copy the file to your desktop it opens fine.

  • Any idea?

Hi,

What are share and NTFS permissions for T and U?

Hi,

Let's double confirm if it's the Server side issue.

Logon with the sharepoint site with user T and U to access this document to see what happened.

If the issue persists, it's indeed the sharepoint permission issue.

Anybody?

We have a problem with a customer that they can't open Office documents(Word,Excel etc.) on Windows 8 image on a network share. The error message is just that they can't open the document. The documents are on a sharepoint site and we can open the documents within the site and also we can open the Office documents on a Windows 7 image.

I think there is a group policy for Windows 8 for this but I don't know for sure?

Anybody?
