I believe the problem is that IE7 can't handle an .xlsx file. The .xlsx

is only from Excel 2010, and is really a zip file containing about 10

zipped up XML files - you can't open it in Excel 2007 either, because

nothing before 2010 knows about it.

IE 9 handles it fine, but you can't use IE 9 on XP.

Solution: Have the Excel 2010 user save it as .xls, and everybody will

be happy.
