On our web site, we have classic asp reports that are displayed using the excel interface via the code Response.ContentType = "application/vnd.ms-excel". When you click on a link to these reports, a pop-up appears that asks the user if
they want to open or save the file, and when the user clicks "Open", the report is launched via the Excel interface with IE. This worked fine until some users upgraded their browsers to IE 11. Now, when those users click "Open",
they will sometimes get the report to launch successfully, but will sometimes get the error message "Unable to Read File" within Excel. There does not seem to be any pattern to this error...sometimes the report opens successfully, sometimes
it takes one extra try to open it, and sometimes it takes three to four tries. It happens whether Excel is already open or not, and nothing changes between an unsuccessful attempt and a successful one. Has anyone experienced this problem with IE
11, and if so, is there a solution?
