If you are using Microsoft® Internet Explorer® and file download does not work, you need to enable downloads for the Trusted Sites zone. We recommend that you check these settings for both the Internet and Trusted Sites zones.

Note: Periodically, Microsoft issues updates to Internet Explorer. When this occurs, your file download settings may be reset to their default values. If you run a report and it appears that nothing has happened, you may need to configure these settings again.
