When trying to order a Business reporter report through IFS, and then selecting ‘view executed report’, I receive an error due to the ‘file format or file extension is not valid’.

Excel is trying to open an .xlsx file when the report contains macros so its saved as .xlsm.

 

We are new to using IFS, therefore I hope there is someone more experienced out there to assist us with this error. I tried to attach the screen shots but it is erroring on this page.

Thanks

Hi @SPierpoint,

 

Have you tried to add that extension to output channels in IFS? 

Or can’t you change the file extension when you save the file?
