My website (www.easternabstractny.com) contains Word doc's as well as Adobe
and Excel files. Two of the the doc's show the author as
easternabstractny.com in FP2003, and when accessing them online (one example
is: http://easternabstractny.com/doc/bargainandsaledeedwithcovenants.doc). I
can get into them without problem, and they are set to open in a new window.
My machine is Win XP Pro and I am asked to provide the site's user/ pass info
when exiting the window. Clicking cancel or "X'ing out" of the user/ pass
screen allows me to clear the new window. Testing this on a machine that is
Win2K doesn't show the user/ pass screen. How can I alleviate this situation
so that my clients using WinXP Pro don't have to go through this? I have all
the latest SP's and other MS recommended updates/ upgrades.

Thanks!

Thanks, Steve. I've read through the info you supplied, and that's great for
my machine, but what can I do for my clients? I can't tell them to go
somewhere just to fix a "bug"! Has MS put this out in it's auto-update and
I've just missed it somehow?

Have you consider providing the document in PDF format, instead of Word?

I have, and already do. These are documents that are used by lawyers and
sometimes they do need to change the wording of a contract, and therefore PDF
isn't the way to go all the time (most of the time yes, but not all).
 
Ok, then unless the user has applied the fix, there is nothing that you can do in the site to
eliminate the issue for users that have the problem.
