Title: Re: Internet Explorer 5.1 on Mac OS X and office startup for office v.Mac

I have the same problem with Quicken WebConnect.  All of my files come down with the wrong type and creator, regardless of what my fiel helper preferences say, and so they just sit there on the desktop.  I have to change the type and creator code on the file and then use them in Quicken.

Just to clarify:  this is not a Quicken problem — WebConnect uses the web browser (I’m using IE 5.1 in MacOS X) to download the file and set its attributes correctly.  IE just won’t do it for me.

I am trying to click open .xls, .doc and .ppt files from web page. I have
set up the file helper associations so that they should launch for example
Microsoft Excel when clicked on the link that has .xls extension? View with
application, post process with application and the application as Microsoft
Excel. Should I put something on the mime type also?

All of the files go direct to the download files and do not open up in the
excel. The files are probably all situated on a sharepoint server...
