Design Studio - XLSM files (Excel w/ macros)

Question

Hey guys,We have a content repository for our Partners. All the documents are hosted in the Design Studio. We recently added an Excel file with macros (.xlsm).When going to the repository page and clicking the download link, no problem, file downloads ans open.But if we give direct link and customer copy it in his browser, he gets the attached screenshot.Anyone has any idea why it would do that?CheersJP

Hello Sanford,This is the document URL: http://info.sherweb.com/rs/288-VQZ-957/images/PerformanceCloudCostEstimator_2017.xlsm It's being sent as Content-Type: text/plain. That's your problem. text/plain is expected to be openable in the browser, so the browser's doing the right thing with what it's got.

I'm not exactly sure about the root cause of this, but I do know that this happens when you target a new tab/window on a click link. I usually just take away the target="_blank" and let the link open in the same tab for the download link to work properly.
