Hi all,

I've been having a problem, i have an IIS server, serving a bunch of
excel spreadsheets and word documents. The files are for viewing only
(i.e., read only). When I click on a link to download a word file it
prompts me whether I want to save it or open it. If I save it it works
fine. But if I open it, it opens in IE. If I try save the document
locally it does it no problem. However, when I do the same thing with
the excel documents, I can open them fine in IE but when I try save
them locally, I get prompted for a username and password for the web
server. Now I don't want that to happen, I'm only trying to save it
locally! If I hit cancel, then I can save it locally.

For me its not a problem but other users think the system is broken and
its annoying that it does that when I have only given permissions in
IIS to be read-only.

If any can help that would be great,

P.S.
Looking for server side fixes.....

Cheers
