If you have ever tried using the “Download to Excel” button in our Reports you have probably noticed that after selecting the fields you want in the download, IE prompts you to allow the download and you have to go through your selections all over again.
This is avoidable. All you have to do is ENABLE automatic prompting for file downloads. I know, that sounds backwards, but it’s what will do the trick.
You can do this as follows:
1. Access Internet Options from the Tools menu in Internet Explorer
2. Click the Security tab
3. Click Local Intranet
4. Click Custom level button
5. Scroll to the section entitled “Downloads”
6. Under the Downloads the first items should be “Automatic prompting for file downloads”. Choose Enable
7. Click Apply
