Zip files converted into Excel files

I noticed recently that Winzip does not work on our PC at home (purchased in 2009). Whenever I try to create, download and unzip a zip file/folder, it becomes an Excel file for example right click on file-> Send to-> compressed folder (zip), a new file is created, but it's a .xls who does not open.

What has caused this? How can it be resolved?

  • After completing the download of a file on my computer, Firefox zip active Microsoft Excel to extract the zip file (which obviously does not work) - and I can't "debug" the problem because the download folder has been created by Firefox

    When I download ANY files on my computer (Windows XP), Firefox opens its ' own record (with Firefox icon); and displays the file name and a progress bar when file downloads - end with no zipped files NOT, as in no .zip or .7z, Firefox just stops (unless there is a process of "autonomous activation" in the file, such as an installation wizard)-it runs correctly.

    However, when it is a zip file, MS Excel is enabled - Excel says 'unrecognizable format' - I have plenty of "-cancellation).

    Hello

    I tried to change the .xlsx to .xls and it gives a note at the opening of the file "the file you are trying to open, abc.xls, is in a different format that it is specified by the file extension. Check that the file is not corrupted and precedes from a trusted source before you open the file. Do you want to open it now? »

    When you rename the file does not solve your problem.
    Anton Scheffer package generates a file in format xlsx Office 2010. When rename you it with the .xls extension, then Office 2010 will give you the warning that the file format does not match the extension.

    but the requirement has to generate excel 2003 file.

    The xml_spreadsheet package writes a format that was introduced with Office 2003, but you must use .xml as extension in other Office 2010 will give you the same caveat.
    To write the real xls version (binary), you can use Apache POI. You will need to import Java classes in your db and write a PL/SQL wrapper. Or you can use one of the options above, writing the output to a windows server and then use Excel to open and save in the required format.

    You must decide whether it is easier to write the binary xls format or to convince the customer to accept other formats that can be opened with Excel.

  • loading of a zip file in a database table

    Hello
    I need a way to load inside a table, a zip file I have on the file system.

    is it possible to do?

    I have try this one, but it does not work:

    create table prova (file_zip clob)

    insert into values prova (bfilename ('UTIORA', 'aaa.zip'))


    where UTIORA is a directory on the file system.

    Thank you
    Francesco

    Francesco,
    1. to save a zip file, you need not type BLOB, CLOB.
    2. you must convert BFILE BLOB before inserting it in your table:

    Example:
    Table:

    CREATE TABLE PROVA (FILE_ZIP BLOB);
    

    Insert:

       DECLARE
          oNew     BLOB;
          oBFile   BFILE;
       BEGIN
          oBFile := BFILENAME('UTIORA', 'aaa.zip');
          DBMS_LOB.OPEN(oBFile, DBMS_LOB.LOB_READONLY);
          DBMS_LOB.createtemporary(oNew,TRUE);
          DBMS_LOB.LOADFROMFILE(oNew, oBFile, dbms_lob.lobmaxsize);
          DBMS_LOB.CLOSE(oBFile);
          INSERT INTO PROVA  VALUES ( oNew );

  • I can not open zip files!

    I had this problem since day 1.  Whenever I get a zip file, Vista will not open the file instead, he associated with Internet Explorer and sends the computer into a loop of windows which can only be stopped by stopping turn signals.  If I associate the file with any other program, it opens not and goves me a message that the content is unreadable.  I do not get an option to "extract files".

    Help!

    Bschum

    Go to: http://www.mydigitallife.info/2008/06/22/reset-and-fix-broken-windows-vista-file-ext-and-type-associations-include-exe-com-sys-zip-lnk-folder-drive/ and scroll down to the ZIP entry and click or double-click on it to launch the association of Zip files repair.  Then restart.  Zip files should now behave as usual.  You will still be able to use 7 - Zip instead of Vista if that is your choice.  All you have to do is change the file association by default for the ZIP files to 7-ZIP inntead of Vista.

    If you have this problem withall the speed of your program, Diecut for entry EXE click or double-ICCT top to run the EXE file association repair.  This should solve the problem of all programs to open under internet explore (if that is the case - I'm not sure I quite understand your situation).

    If the programs are open OK but the problem is that all the icons are all the internet Explorer icons, then perform a rebuild of the cache icon as follows:http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/117229-icon-cache-rebuild.html.

    I hope this helps.

  • Can't restore Vista backup - backup zip files are not recognized, on external hard drive

    I backed up my files with Windows Backup, which divide into 200 MB zip files.  Now I am unable to restore the backup because it is not recognized when I try to use the backup to restore.  It's on an external hard drive and Windows for some reason any do not recognize.  I tried to move it to the desktop, but it is not always recognized as a backup.  I tried to use the advanced restore, windows recovery, and it won't work.  Must the file with the zip files be in a specific location on the disk so that it can be recognized, or should it be named something specific?  Please help me, I really need these files.

  • display zip files... what should I do now to see the content of my zip file?

    Sir ihave downloaded songs on the internet that is downloaded as a zip file format... and I have change the path of the zip opening and is open with internet explore form.and, now when I open my file zip my scenn begin to blink heavlyy after that I have to do my computer turn off or restart...

    What should I do now to see the content of my zip file?

    Please help me...

    You must extract the files zip first and then open it with a program that can open that particular file type.  So in this case, even if you use Internet Explorer to download files, you must use Vista to extract to the desktop (downloads or music where ever you choose) by right-clicking on the download, unzip the folder and create a new folder with the decompressed files and then you can use WMP or any program you use to play the songs.  But it does not work because of the changes that you did - but we can fix that easily enough.  It happens quite often with many different programs (ZIP especialliy because a lot of people care less about the ZIP of Vista program and cause problems in trying to change).  I suggest that you pay attention to what we're about to do what it will be probably useful more than once to you later for other types of files (I use it often, but I use it often when I install a new program and do not have default values, he created).  Although the first procedure is for most of the types of special system files and so generally used only for repairs (with the exception of ZIP), the second (if you actually need to use it) works with all other types of files.  I recommend that you create a new folder in the Favorites, called "File Association Changes" and add these links so that they will be easy to find if you need again.

    Here, the first thing we need to do is Zip file association fix it back to Vista of Internet Explorer.  Go to:http://www.mydigitallife.info/2008/06/22/reset-and-fix-broken-windows-vista-file-ext-and-type-associations-include-exe-com-sys-zip-lnk-folder-drive/ and scroll down to ZIP and then click or double-click on it to run the program that will reset the association back to its default values.  If you don't like the Vista Zip program, I recommend trying 7 - Zip free but excellent:http://www.7-zip.org/.  If you wish, set as the default zip file by using the following:http://www.mydigitallife.info/2008/06/20/how-to-edit-or-change-file-type-or-extension-associations-default-programs-in-windows-vista/.  If you wish, you can add send to 7 - Zip to the right-click context menu as follows:http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/67599-send-context-menu.html.

    Once, when you find a zipped song you want, download it to the desktop or wherever you choose and use the 7-Zip program (depending on what you set as the default value) is the Vista to unzip the file, and then save the decompressed everywhere song where please.  You will now be able to play with any player you who manages songs with this type of file (if you click twice on the song, it should open the default program and start playing automatically).  Now you can do what you want with the original zip file you have now the actual file - you can save it if you want (although I don't see why you need to do when you have the actual file) or you can simply remove as needed.

    That's all. The problem should be solved and you must use the program ZIP Vista or 7 - Zip to unzip all zipped files or folders (downloaded or received as attachments to emails, or transferred by a flashdrive or however obtained).

    I hope this helps.

  • copy my files and once completed they were in zip files, now I can not open zip files, I use vista bussiness... Thank you.

    make backup of my files aand ordibary copy in zip files, they now need to open and I get message cannot open files, etc.

    You must use the restore backup procedure to restore individual files of access - you can not access it just directly from the backup (even if it's possible with 3rd party software - you can check Bing, Google,www.tucows.com and www.download.com).  If you made a backup of the complete picture, you should definitely 3rd party software even be able to do as you cannot access the individual with restore files (only if doing a restore completes).

    Here is an article on the restore procedure:http://www.vista4beginners.com/How-to-restore-files to make sure you do this right.  It's a selective restore of a full or selective backup (not a full restore from a full backup)...

    This is a GREAT article on the backup and restore processes in Vista http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/2007.09.backup.aspx , but he won't go into detail about the restoration process - considering almost as easy, of course.  But it teaches you a lot about what is possible and how to do it.  It also focuses primarily on the full backup process, but he did mention the full backup and restore process as well.

    Here is an article on the advanced use of restoration (during normal restore does not work):http://www.mayankraichura.com/post/2009/08/06/Avdvanced-Restore-via-Windows-Vista-Backup-and-Restore-Center.aspx.

    1. after the start of "backup and Restore Center."

    2. I chose "Advanced Restore"

    3. I was did not an administrator password... maybe because my account is an administrator account.

    4 choose "files from a backup made on a different computer.

    5. in the dialog box indicating "Select the location of the backup to restore", select "hard drive, CD or DVD...". »

    6. under the drop-down list box, select your drive/partition and continue

    7. If all the backups on your drive, it will show a list of them.

    8. in my case, he showed a backup, but in the backup location, it will show "backup location is not available."

    9. I was frustrated, but then I somehow just select this backup (Yes... even if he said that thebackup location is not available " ")

    10. and you press "next".

    11 guess what... no error!

    12. a window appeared asking me if I wanted to do a full restore, or I want to select specific folders or files.

    13. I selected the folders I wanted to restore and bingo... it their restored smoothly.

    14. so that the next time see a mistake, try to continue with him... ;)

    I don't know if this will help, but it does not provide much information about the process (when it works).

    I hope this helps.
