Aha. TW5 won't recognise the link as an external link because it doesn't start with http or https. You can instead write this: <a href=".\Para 62\John Status.pdf">John's status report for June</a> > > > *ISSUE 2:* > > I downloaded TiddlyIE so that I can start saving on IE.

I've created a ticket including a notification to the author of TiddlyIE: https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyWiki5/issues/495 Best wishes Jeremy. Appreciate further insight.

I think the problem here is that only IE is capable of displaying Excel spreadsheets within the browser (it has plugins and ActiveX components to enable it to do that). Firefox and Chrome can't view Excel files directly and so instead prompt you to download the file so that you can open it in Excel on the desktop. So I think the solution is to use IE - not a recommendation you'll hear very often!

I am creating it using Chrome. I have 2 files in a folder called "Para 62": "John Status.pdf" and "Sales List.xls" The syntax that I use to link the pdf file is as follows: <a href="Para 62\John Status.pdf"target="_blank">John's status report for June</a> The link appears as: John's status report for June And when you click on it, the pdf automatically opens in a new tab. All good. Now, when I use this same syntax for the Excel file: <a href="Para 62\Sales List.xls"target="_blank">List of Sales </a> I see: List of Sales But when you click on it, the "Save As" screen appears....asking the viewer where to save the file "Sales List.xls" If I remove the [ target="_blank" ] phrase, you still see the link. Clicking on it asks you if you want to leave the Wiki page. If you say yes - it takes you to the same "Save As" screen. Note: in Wiki Classic , I used this syntax: [[List of Sales|.\Para 62\Sales List.xls]]. I was able to launch the Excel file successfully (but the Wiki was opened was using IE). What am I doing wrong in TW5? Note: the user requires that this Wiki must be able to operate within IE and Chrome.
