Excel XLSX files fail to synchronize
Hi,
My Documents folder is a redirected folder and therefore by default, it is always available offline. Why is it that if I edit my Excel file is in 2003 (xls) format, it almost always goes offline and needs to be synchronized manually? (Note that the file really isn't synchronizing as I do not see it change on the server until I do a manual sync). But if I use a 2007 (xlsx) format, (in the very same folder), it synchronizes right away? I don't see this problem with Word (.doc) or (.docx) files. I doubt this is an Excel 2007 problem and I suspect it is more to do with Vista offline folders. I've seen this problem on 3 of 3 Vista machines I tested. And one of those machines is Vista SP1 RC, so if this is a Vista bug, it isn't fixed in SP1. My XP machines only have Excel 2003, and they do not have this problem. I also notice that both Word and Excel will create a ~$filename.ext each time the file is opened. But if this is an (xls) file, it will not (on Vista). And lastly, why is it that these temporary ~$filename.ext do not disappear when the application that created them (Word or Excel) is closed? I know that the file is gone, but I must do a Windows Explorer refresh to show that. (again in Vista; not XP). I don't have this refresh problem with files that "I" create or delete, but when the application creates these temporary files, Windows Explorer requires a manual refresh to make them go away. -- Thanks, Bob |

Excel XLSX files fail to synchronize
Dear Bob,
Thanks for the posting. This post seems like to be the same as "Offline files fail to synchronize" you posted in this newsgroup. I have replied for you in the another thread. As for the detail information, please refer to my reply of "Offline files fail to synchronize". I have tested this issue in my environment. It can successfully synchronize between the file server and client, no matter what format the synchronized file is. Moreover, the offline file synchronization has nothing to do with the format of the files, because the process of offline file synchronization is the process of file replication. It has no idea about what format the synchronized file is. However, offline file synchronization is a bit related to the file size. Because if this file size is greater than the limitation you defined in Disk Usage tab of the Offline Files in Control Panel or a Group Policy setting, the synchronization may fail. So please check the size of this .xlsx file. I hope this helps. Have a nice day!
