Hello

I have recently upgraded to excel 2007 and now when I open a file from a web based program I am recieveing the follow error:

"The file you are trying to open, 'ComparisonReport.asp', is in a different format than specified by the file extension. Verify that the file is not corrupted and is from a trusted source beforee opening the file. Do you want to open the file now?"

I know all I have to do is click yes, but it is really more so that it is not the way my old system was set up.

Any ideas?
