What if you add the server(s) to the trusted sites zone in IE? If you paste in the UNC path, IE will change it to something like "file://server".
Just a thought. ------ From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, October 14, 2009 8:12 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Weird IE7 problem Greetings! Although we are a Firefox shop, it seems IE7 breaking stops the opening of PDFs on any and all browsers. That is, on occasion, a user will attempt to open a PDF (note - these are part of our medical consulting application, and ALL these PDFs are on internal servers), they are greeted with the cheerful notice that the "security policy" has blocked access to that site... Again, it is an internal server being accessed, and all browsers (IE7, FF, Opera, Chrome; Safari is banned) return this message. We run an installation of IE7 over the top, and all is well. On TUE (Friday the 13th came a few days early), we had about a dozen machines get hit with this (so far) throughout the day. Anyone else out there have this kind of fun? Thanks! -- Richard D.
