Hello

When users click a document they do not get the menu to Edit in Excel etc.
IE8 status bar says !Error on page. They cannot edit and save documents.



This has worked for years no problem and stopped working a few days ago.
Wassup? Any ideas?

This is a default and unaltered SBS 2003 R2 Premium server with all updates
and service packs applied.

Hello,

Thanks for your post.

Have you tried IE 6.0 or IE 7.0 or other web browser from the SBS 2008 server?
Does this issue occur on other computers when trying to access the companyweb and then Excel file?

If the issue only occur to IE 8.0 on SBS 2008 server, please try to reset IE 8.0 first:

Reset Internet Explorer (IE)
==========
1. Click Start, please type "inetcpl.cpl" (without quotation marks) in the Start Search bar and press Enter to open the Internet options window.
2. Switch to the Advanced tab.
3. Click the Reset Internet Explorer Settings button.
4. Click Reset to confirm the operation.
5. Click Close when the resetting process finished.
6. Uncheck Enable third-party browser extensions option in the Settings box.
7. Click Apply, click OK.
