Hi,
Wondering if anyone has run into this issue on any other MExxN screen, such as ME53N (in our case).
This is on a Personas 2.0 SP3 system. Using Basic View of ME53N (and Flavors behaves the same way), I open an Excel document linked to an Item :
i.e. select the item in the item overview section, click on the attachment clip icon. Then double-click an Excel row on the next screen.
When I use FireFox Browser, the Excel document type is automatically recognized as Excel, and I do not see a dialog to choose a viewer. On the other hand, when I use IE (v10) or Chrome (v43), the Excel document type is not recognized, and I am presented with a 'choose viewer' dialog. In my prior discussion thread Personas 2.0 ME53N not recognizing type of attachment , I had stated that PPT and PDF weren't being recognized, but that Excel and Word were being recognized. I was only one-third right about Excel because at that time I was testing with FireFox only. All 3 browsers now recognize PDF, PPT and Word after I implemented the DC30 mime type updates suggested in the above thread. Only remaining issue now is IE and Chrome do not recognize Excel attachment type automatically.
Some info :
The MIME type in tcode DC30 is set to 'application/msexcel'.
The IE browser console log appears to indicate Excel ... and the GET command results in a status 200.
The URL is a loong string like https://server:port/sap....../restgui/resource/.......

If anyone has run into this issue, or has any suggestions, would highly appreciate it. Thanks !
