| We are using Reporting Services without the Report Manager due to our security constraints. I am able to download files from Reporting Services on a PC in HTML, PDF, Excel and XML. I have several individuals; however, that are using MacIntosh computers. I have tested the report using five different browsers and get the same results with each. They handle the HTML and PDF but not the Excel which is key. Does anyone know why the Excel for the Mac is different. Has anyone encountered this problem and solved it? |

This is a well known bug.Try this..export the report on a regular pc, open the file, then close the file, send that same file to the mac user...all is fine it works.It seems that some sort of addition or rendering extension is done directlyh on the mac that causes a fault not allowing it to open on a mac. But if you open that same file on a standard PC and send it to a mac user it works fine. Could be some sort of office web component quirk that goes away once the file is opened.Jon
