Export My Tasks to Excel Issue

[Darrell]

I am having a problem with the My Tasks and My Timesheet views not exporting
to Excel. When you try to export the program is opening a new IE window,
attempts to download a file and then gives a popup that states that “IE
cannot download tasks.aspx from <the server location>â€. Of you clear the
message and then attempt to refresh the page that opened you receive a “To
help protect your security…. Click here for options.†message. Selecting
download file results in a return to the original message that “IE cannot
download tasks.aspx…â€

Has anyone seen this before and is there a workaround?

Thx,
Darrell

We had this problem and raised it with Microsoft. They have provided me with
the following solution. I tested it on a standalone environment and it worked
but I have not, till now, tested it on a full environment where there are
dedicated servers for MSP, PWA, SQL etc

Anyways - Here is the solution...

The fault is with IE and its sending of a "Cache-control:no-store" header
or a "Cache-control:no-cache" header so the fix is to make a couple of
registry keys.

1) Start Registry Editor.

2. For a per-user setting, locate the following registry key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings

For a per-computer setting, locate the following registry key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet
Settings

3. On the Edit menu, click Add Value.

4. To override the directive for HTTPS connections, add the following
registry value: "BypassSSLNoCacheCheck"=Dword:00000001

To override the directive for HTTP connections, add the following
registry value: "BypassHTTPNoCacheCheck"=Dword:00000001

5. Quit Registry Editor.
