As I know, IE Explorer is pretty much depreciated now, so I am trying to use MS Edge to open a browser and click a couple of buttons on a web page. I can open the page with this.
CreateObject("Shell.Application").ShellExecute "microsoft-edge:http://edd/Reports/powerbi/Power%Test%Lab"
How can I click a button named in Edge that has this behind it?
<a role="button href="pbi-desktop"><span id="nav-pbi-edit" class="text">Edit in Power BI</span>
Then, a button with an ID of 'Cancel' opens. I would like to click that, if it's possible. Are these two tasks doable in MS Edge?
We are unabel to enable the "Connect to outlook" ribbon button for our external list.
The external list is based on a external content type which uses a simple Web service.
The browser based UI works just great as expected but we are unable to get the "Connect to Outlook" ribbon button to becoem enabled.
We have installed all the necessary client side installs, and the connect to outlook button works fine for regualr lists.
We have mapped it to a outlook type "Contact" within SharePoint designer and mapped the single requried field of "LastName".
Unfortunately it still will not enable, has anyone had this problem or no a fix please?
If you are using a newer version of IE, it most likely won't display. Go to the browsers "gear" in the top right hand corner, click and select "Compatibility View Settings" - click add and then close and refresh, that should do the trick.
I have configured a search results webpart to show documents based on the search keywords.
As soon as I hover on any of the search result item, it automatically triggers download and asks weather to save the document or open it directly.
This issue is coming on IE.
I have come to find the root cause of the problem but not the solution(Will update when I get to the solution).
As it is an intranet portal, IE has its default security settings to medium-low(It is medium for internet sites).
Under medium-low security settings Allow Active-X filtering is disabled. Enabling it solved the issue.
PS: You can get to the settings by clicking on TOOLS->INTERNET OPTIONS->SECURITY->LOCAL INTRANET.
I want to connect two list webparts. The problem is that when I go to "Edit Web Part -> Connections" this option "Connections" doesn't apperar.
Searching on google found this: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-sharepoint-services-help/connect-data-in-web-parts-HA010024105.aspx. There is a paragraph that says: "The Web Part menu may not be enabled or visible on your Web Part Page for several reasons, including that the Web Part or the zone does not support connections, you are using a browser that is not compatible with Windows SharePoint Services, or connections are disabled on your site"
I think connections are disable on my site. Where can I enable connections on a SharePoint site?
Thanks for your help!
Ha ha. In Internet Explorer 11, you have to view Sharepoint sites in "Compatibility Mode"! Imagine that! Without Compatibility Mode, IE won't display the connection menus - but Firefox and Chrome will! Apparently, this is even a problem with Sharepoint 2013.
I saw this problem even when Connections were enabled.
The workaround was to choose Edit Web Part and Click "Apply". This magically made the connection menu appear. However when the page is reloaded, the workaround needs to be applied again.
I'm not 100% sure if I remember correctly, but I had the same issue last week.
First you need access to the central administration at the sharepoint host.
In there, you have to click on "Application Managment" -> "Manage Web Applications"
Then select your web app and click on Web Part Security in the ribbon. If i remember right you should find an option there to allow connections between webparts.
Here in my experience I found that on wiki page web part connection is not possible, if you want to connect two web parts or two list, go and add your lists, or webpart onto webpart page, and on edit page connect them, ok.
There are some issue with placing filter web parts on a wiki page. The filter web part is not visible and it's impossible to select the webpart menu when in page edit mode.
I encountered it a few times. Like user2780851 states. Enable the publishing features, add a new (publishing) page (so in the 'pages' library not in the 'sitepages' library). When you add the filter webparts on this publishing page all the menu options (and the connection option) will be available.
I was able to get things to redisplay without using compatibility mode. In IE 11, what I had to do was hit F12 to pull up the developer menu, and then under the emulation tab, I switched my user agent to Internet Explorer 10, and then it started working correctly. My problem that lead me to this thread was that my web part menu wasn't displaying at all. This is a serious Microsoft fail. Probably why they are planning to abandon IE altogether. Good riddance, says I.
I've found that this issue has caused a lot of confusion, and led people to incorrectly think that connections between web parts isn't available on wiki pages.
The Connections option will appear as long as you are in the edit mode of any web part on the page - it doesn't have to be a web part which will be involved in the connection.

this is answer right i did it and it works
I have a SharePoint 2007 portal, that contains several document libraries. Whenever I open a document from a document library, Word 2007 requests me for my credentials, although I'm already logged in the portal.
Does anybody know how to set up Word 2007 to accept the existing credentials from SharePoint 2007?
I've found this while googling for a solution:
1) In Internet Explorer 8, click Tools and the click Internet Options.
2) In the Internet Options window, switch to Security tab, click “Trusted sites” and click Sites.
3) Add the URL of this site and your domain name and close the Trusted sites window.
4) Go back to Internet Options, select “Trusted sites” and click “Custom Level”.
5) In the new-opened window, under “User Authentication - Logon”, please select “Automatic logon with current user name and password” and click OK to apply this setting.
6) Then click OK to apply all the settings and close Internet Explorer.
7) Try again to see if the prompt still appears.
And it works!
Hope it helps somebody.
