Hi!
I know this problem is actually a problem with Office 2007 and Internet Explorer. However, I hope I can find the answer here, since Aspose-developers hopefully have stumbled upon this before.
We are using an HttpHandler+Aspose.Cells to generate Excel-documents dynamically and send them to the client.
This has all worked fine, until our customers moved to Office 2007, and thus xlsm-files.
It turns out that with the technique we are using to create the documents, the document gets stored in Temporary Internet Files on the client's machine. (same for all Office versions)
However, from Office 2007 and on, it seems as if macros are disabled (and can't be enabled, from user consent or digital signature) if the document is stored in Temporary Internet Files. Without the macros, our solution is useless.
I have been trying to make IE not download the document to Temporary Internet Files first, but instead open it directly in Excel.
This is possible, if the url to the HttpHandler is a "real" url, e.g. `http://theserver/thedocument.xlsm`. In this case, the document is opened directly in Excel, and macros can be enabled.
However, we need to pass parameters to the HttpHandler (this determines some of the content of the Excel-file). For instance, `http://theserver/thedocument.xlsm?param1=value1¶m2=value2`.
Strangely, in this case, the file gets downloaded to Temporary Internet Files first, then opened. Again, the macros are disabled.
Any advice?
Thanks! v
