Documents type - question

Post by avatar69 »

Hi Guys!

I am a bit of a n00b with AwareIM, but I love the program so far, and I have great things in mind for my organization with this program.

I have a million questions, but I am trying to work through a lot of them myself so I learn, but for this particular question - I am stuck: I have an attribut of "document" type, and it allows me to upload an excel document. I would then want to click on a button to download it again when I want to.

What happens is instead of downloading the correct document, I get a file called: "UpdateEntity.do" How can I just have it download the exact same document I uploaded?

Many thanks,

John

If you saved an Excel document in an attribute, you will see a View icon for the attribute on the object form. When you click the icon a new browser window should open and display the contents of the Excel document in it (if you have Excel installed on the computer where you try viewing the document). You can then use menu File - Save As to save the document on disk.

Aha....this might be a problem in MacOSX. None of what you described should happen - happens. I have 3 buttons: add, delete, and modify. Add and delte are self explanatory, and modify just downloads a file, with a ".do" extension as mentioned above....:((
