Thanks a lot for the link Anil. I find out a workaround for the problem. Deleting the registry entry: [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\MIME\Database\Content Type\application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.template] "Extension"=".xltx" Solve the problem. Thanks for your help.

Hi, Now the issue is IE8 client can’t open the attachment of .xlsx file, because they changed into .xltx file via OWA. As a workaround, I think you may install Microsoft Office Compatibility Pack for Word, Excel, and PowerPoint File Formats. You could download it from here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=941b3470-3ae9-4aee-8f43-c6bb74cd1466 If it worked, You could use Group Policy to install the pack for all IE8 client.Please remember to click Mark as Answer on the post that helps you, and to click Unmark as Answer if a marked post does not actually answer your question.
