Error message downloading OBIEE Report to Excel "is in a different format"

702906Nov 3 2009 — edited Nov 3 2009

Dear experts:

We just upgraded to 10.1.3.4.1 in our Dev environment and are seeing a pecuiliar behavior when we try to download a report to either "Excel" or "Excel 2000".

After selecting Excel (or Excel 200) from the Download Link, we get the following message that pops up:

The file you are trying to open 'Period Summary.xls' is in a different format than specified by the file extension. Verify the file is not corrupted and is from trusted source before opening the file. Do you want to open the file now?

We are then given the choice of Yes, No, or Help

When I click Yes, the File does open, but why this message? I can see the users complaining about this message.
