Allow excel files as an attachment type?

[TrickyD]

I went in to attachment management and added the extension xls but whenever I go in and try to attach an excel file it doesn't attach, it just goes in the error box, but doesn't tell me what the error was (it isn't a file size problem).

What settings should I change to get this to work? Or how should I have actually inputted the extension and Mime type? Thanks!

Mimetype is actually optional. What limit on size did you set for the XLS file?

300,000 bytes I do believe.

Hmm using those settings I was able to upload fine. With your settings you should be able to upload a file of up to 292.9K in size.

Is there another area besides under Attachments-Extensions & Sizes, that there are settings regarding attachments that might be causing a problem? I just realized that I am also having troubles uploading a certain Zip file, while another one works just fine.

I have attached a screenshot of what I'm looking at after I try to attach all 3 files.

The file size of the Zip that uploaded correctly was 257,340 bytes
The Zip that didn't upload was 142,291 bytes
The XLS file was 88,064 bytes

Its not a huge deal if I don't get these uploaded, but I was just curious as to why it wasn't working.

You are getting errors because those attachments have already been uploaded (i.e. Attachment in progress). If they are not attached to a message that you are trying to post already, click the link that says "Can be deleted here", to delete them.

ahh thank you, I must have gotten click happy. They work now that I've removed all 3 attachments and tried again.
