Excel Files Not Opening On Client's Hard Drive
- Jan 23, 2020Any errors?
Could they be hitting the 214 file path limit?
Andrew HodgesNo,..I doubt that strongly. In this case it's more about a few people who are the owners of said Excel files and they constantly update them. Unfortunately for me,...they are the ones that have the problems. It's strange since the site settings have been adjusted such that any file that is clicked on opens on the Client's drive. I'm just struggling as to what could be different on their systems that could cause this.
Only on one or two occasions has a "corrupted file" message occured. Usually they claim that after they click on the file,....it just goes nowhere. Nothing happens.
Maybe its more to do with their Excel settings....not sure.
Hi TDTooner ,
Large Excel files have been one of our biggest pains on a few projects.
Some we have had to change to SharePoint lists due to the co-working not being great for large files and changes not getting saved.
