excel exports in chrome adding single quotes before and after files

  • 1.  excel exports in chrome adding single quotes before and after files

    While attempting to export from the crm, users are experiencing an odd issue. Excel exports from chrome are adding single quotes before and after file names. This prevents users from quickly opening files in excel. Once the users rename the files, excluding the single quotes, all works well. Conversely, everything is working fine with internet explorer: no file renaming is needed.

    Any suggestions?

    Thanks

    Rod,
       This is the same problem as the solution file export in this thread:

    Several people have posted workarounds while we wait for the battle of the titans (MS and Google) to resolve it.

    I wrote a Chrome plugin that will fix this automatically.

    Get it and more details here:

    The Problem In Chrome 72 the way the file download process works has changed. For Dynamics users, this means that files are currently being downloaded with a ' character surrounding the files.

    OMG.  Wish I had Googled this sooner.  I had my IT department open tickets with Dynamics back in May and their response was to use Microsoft Edge lol.  This has been driving me nuts since the beginning of the year.  Thank you!!!!!!
