As a work around you could ask your users to save the excel files as csv and attach them so they could technically be opened.. It would be inconvenient to read, but...
Also as another workaround, if you have the rights to install your own stuff on the machine.. OpenOffice.org has OpenOffice which is compatible to open MS Office documents, including excel.. I’ve actually stopped using MS-Office on my personal laptop when I started using OpenOffice and it saves me a few hundred dollars.. Joe From: Pierson, Shawn Sent: Wednesday, April 04, 2012 11:39 AM Newsgroups: public.remedy.arsystem.general To: [email protected] Subject: Remedy on Citrix ** Good morning, We’re working on getting full functionality of Remedy on Citrix, but we’ve run into some questions that are really outside my area of expertise so I thought I’d post this here in case some of you have solved these issues before. Basically, we have Internet Explorer hosted as a Citrix application so that we can use Remedy on virtual PCs as well as non-Windows devices like Android tables and iPads. It works perfectly fine for Remedy, but we are running into issues when it comes to attachments. For example, if a user wants to open a spreadsheet attached to a Change Request, since Excel is not currently installed and configured for use on the Citrix server, there is no way they can open the file directly from Remedy. We are planning on doing the install of common things that are added as attachments, but the major issue is that we don’t really have any control over what types of files could be attached so we’re looking for best practices.
