I have a library in a Sharepoint online 2013 site that is set to open documents with server default. This opens them in the web app. I have users who need to open Excel documents in their desktop Excel because they say the functionality is
more robust. Is there a way they can do that other than setting the library properties to open documents with native app? I tried that on a test library and instead of opening Excel we get a "Webpage cannot be displayed" error saying
that the most likely cause is a that the webpage requires a program that we don't have installed. We all have Office 2010 on Windows 7, with IE 10, and the site is in our trusted sites zone.
There are no mistakes; every result tells you something of value about what you are trying to accomplish.
