IIS is doing exactly what you told it. So the problem is *NOT* with IIS. Possible problems I can think of: A0. The file is corrupt ... A1. ... as stored on the web server A2. ... during the network transfer to the client A3. ... by the client web browser A4. ... by the something else on the client B0. MS Word on the client is messed up some how C0. MS Word is getting the MIME type from the browser somehow, and comparing to the extension, and they don't match, because... C1. ... communication between browser and MS Word is broken C2. ... that's not actually the correct MIME type for that file format I'm finding what appear to be multiple conflicting answers on MSDN as for what the Content-Type *should* be, so I'm not really sure what to do there. -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin
