WF Download mime types problem.

I'm trying to add a mime type for powerpoint presentations so users can upload .ppt files.

I tried creating the mime type using:

application/mspowerpoint
application/ms-powerpoint
application/mspowerpnt
application/vnd-mspowerpoint
application/vnd.ms-powerpoint
application/powerpoint
application/x-powerpoint
application/x-mspowerpoint

But I keep getting the following error when trying to upload a .ppt file

Errors Returned While Uploading
MIME type not allowed: application/vnd.ms-powerpoint

Any thoughts?

Cheap question but anyway:

You did not only add application/vnd.ms-powerpoint but you did also set the permission to yes for admin or user depending on from which side you are uploading?
Sorry, this signature is experiencing technical difficulties. We will return you to the sheduled signature as soon as possible ...

Yes I set the permission to yes, but I still get the same error.

I have no problem uploading this file after adding the mimetype.

Here is my definition:

File Extension: ppt
Application Type/Name: powerpoint

Mimetypes: application/vnd.ms-powerpoint
Allowed Admin Mimetype Yes No
Allowed User Mimetype Yes No



In the past i shot myself in the foot when i entered ".ppt" for example as an extension instead of just "ppt". Maybe you did the same?

I deleted the other mime types and kept the one that you had listed and it works. I wonder why the others didn't work?

Thanks for the help I really appriciate it.

I tested it a few more times...

and the issue is that I'm too stupid to read the instructions.

"Enter each mimetype associated with the file extension. Each mimetype must be seperated with a space."

When I did the extendion search I copied and pasted the mimetype from the search results.

The search results had a carriage return after each entry. When I changed it to a space, it worked fine. Now I have all the proper mimetypes for a .ppt file.

Thanks again for the help.
