When you click on a hyperlink to an Office document, the
target file opens and immediately closes and a copy of
itself re-opens. (I know this occurs because I have macro
code in the Office documents that gets executed at file
open & at file close.) For Excel files it re-opens
as "BookX" where X is the number it's up to, and for Word
files it re-opens as "Document in Microsoft Internet
Explorer."
The macro code in the Office documents that executes at
file close is a custom "do you want to save a copy of this
file" and is 100% necessary, so I cannot modify the macros.
Is there any way, either by changing settings or
programmatically in HTML, to get Internet Explorer to open
the file and keep it open rather than closing and re-
opening as a copy? It is annoying--and problematic--to
get the custom prompt when the original target file closes.
