When a user saves a file in Excel it will end up with a double extension. This is probably due to the user adding .xls on to the end thinking that excel will change the file type, however, it just saves as Accumulated Leave 2014.xls.xlsx . This then doesn't open at all. I should point out that the environment that this is happening in is:
Windows 8.1 Enterprise w/ Excel 2013
Remote File server running Server 2008 (R1 or 'classic')
The file's icon is made transparent and has a red X.
Is this a bug or something in excel?
Also why when you specify a new extension doesn't it change the save as type?
Appreciate any insights,
Thanks, Evan
