Do you have a problem downloading Office files from My Graceland when using Internet Explorer? If you get the message "This file can not be accessed" either when you download and open an Office file or when you enable it for editing or printing, this is the fix.
- One option is to use Firefox, Chrome or Safari. This problem only happens in Internet Explorer.
- A second option is to follow these steps. You will only need to do this once on a computer.
