the actual physical path on the browser then it can open directly but
when i refer through hyper link its giving me the problem.
I am using IE6 and tomcat5.
please help me to solve my problem.
i dont know whether this is sever or browser problem.but i deployed in
other server than tomcat also giving the same problem
I dont know what to do?Please help me
 
Surely nothing to do with server. Probably due to to file associations
in client's Windows for *.ppt files. Search in Windows Help for words
"file association".

Hope this is useful to you. Let us know.

See this for more information:

Control how the browser opens PowerPoint files
http://www.rdpslides.com/pptfaq/FAQ00189.htm

If a valid link to a ppt file causes the browser to open the file as text
(which is what it sounds like it's doing) it may be that the MIME type isn't
set correctly for PPT at the server.
