Opening/viewing report in Internet Explorer fails, but Firefox doesn't

MeowzerMar 24 2016 — edited Mar 29 2016

Help! I've migrated 9i Forms & Reports to 11g. My default browser is Firefox. All works well there (Forms and Reports). When I run from Internet Explorer the Forms run ok. But, when I run a report, I get into a loop which does not display the report. If I choose to open the report in Firefox it displays.

If I choose to open the report in Internet Explorer I get prompted if I want to open or save 'Getjobid## from localhost? This allows a choice of programs from which to open the file. If I select IE, I am prompted if I want to open the file Getjobid###. If I again select Open, I'm put back to the first prompt.

I am initiating the report with pfaction and hidden_action with the setting set with SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY. Afterwards, I use WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT to display the report i.e. WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT(report_servlet||'/getjobid'||vjob_id||'?server='||report_server_name",'_blank');

Some of my users would be using IE. I need to get the reports displayed there. Does anyone know what I might be doing wrong? Any help is greatly appreciated!
