IE6 and Excel

[LeeFer]

I have a program that runs in IE6 and at times I need to save reports to excel and there is a little link on IE to click on to bring up excel but everytime I do it a small window flashes and then disappears and that's it. Any ideas?

Have you tried the ""File" save as method ? ?
Is this a plugin for IE6 ? ?
If so elaborate...

It's peoplesoft software running on IE6 and in peoplsoft you have the option to click on the excel icon and your report is supposed to open up in excel then you can save as. The problem is I click on the icon and it looks like exce is going to start then the smaller window opens briefly then disappears and it's done with the process. Does that make any better sense?

Yes.
Does Office work properly otherwise ? ?
In other words can you use Word, Excel etc by opening them from the Programs menu ? ?
If not then the problem is with Office.
If they work properly then check your settings in the peoplesoft application.
Where does it save the files to etc etc.
It may be saving them properly but to a different location.
