Hi
When testing on line in IE7 I have a problem about linking to Word files.
The dialog box asks Open or Save, selecting open does open the file, fine!
However if I then click on the Back button another dialog box appears
"Connect to web site"
Clicking on OK or Cancel has the same effect of closing the Word file and
returning to the page from which called, this does not occur with Excel
files. I use Office 2003 and FrontPage 2003 with all available updates
completed. I have an inkling but am not certain that this is a fairly new
occurence. Is there a setting either in FP or Word that I can apply to
correct this? I use XP Home and my ISP is Wanadoo (Orange) 2mbps.
 
My experience is that it always happens on the machine I use to author that
web site - if you delete the entry for the web site from My Network Places,
the problem will go away. However, the next time you author that site or
publish to it will create another entry in My Network Places. I just live
with it. And don't worry, it's not something that your site visitors will
experience - it will only happen on your machine.
