It shouldn't happen to the users (with one exception - see below) - it
normally only happens to the web author if they are browsing their web site
using the same PC that they use to edit the site.
It may happen to users if they are still running Office 2000:

That makes a lot of sense, Corey. They do have the option of saving it
somewhere and then opening the file in Word. I'll just leave it as is.
I do have one more question related to this that I discovered after
posting
my original question. Once the document is open in Explorer and I click
on
the Back button to return to the website, the "Connect to" window pops up
requesting a Username and Password. I figured out that I just click
Cancel
and back to the website I go. But I'm afraid the users might not realize
that unless I write a little sentence on the webpage with the document
links
telling them what to do. Is the a way to circumvent that login popup
window?
