Uploading files

[Sara Noble]

I have tried to upload a word document this morning but I don't have permission and I should contact my administrator. Consider yourself contacted.......

 

I went to the downloads section and clicked on add new document or whatever the button is called. Am I doing something stoopid?

I think it's an ambiguous error message - one that i keep getting 'cus I dont do it right (either!)

 

Once you have "Browsed" for the file, you have to use the "Attach" button. It should then appear in the window above. Then fill in the details for submission, then hit the "Add Submission" button.

 

All should then be OK.

 

NB - Doesn't like .docx files at the minute - but maybe a set-up thing

 

Good luck!

A Ha!!

 

It's a docx as it's an Open GI document. I'll copy it into old fashioned word and try again.

 

PS - love the signature!

It's me again!!

 

The old word document worked a treat!

 

Thinking I've cracked it I just tried to upload an excel spreadsheet (2003) and and email but it won't let me do either.

 

Sorry to be a pain

[Mark Sollis]

Mmmmmm - me too re Excel

 

Possibly a setting buried somewhere - I'll have a look and let you know

 

Oh - and I've followed my own advice and marked this as a "watched" Forum so I get notifications when something gets posted - I feel a host of questions coming in soon ....

Yayyyyyyyyyyyy

 

Updated the list of valid file types and tried - STILL BROKEN!

 

Then found another list - specifically for the Downloads section and added them again - NOW WORKS!

 

Enjoy
