Problems accessing the Grants module

I cannot export data from the ICIS Grants module.

Try pressing and holding down the CTRL key on your keyboard and performing the Export function at the same time. If this works, then you probably have an issue with pop-up blockers. The usual culprit for pop-up blockers is a toolbar on your PC or laptop like Google or Yahoo. The easy option is to delete the additional toolbars and try the Export function again without holding down the CTRL key to see if it works.
