The same complaint from the same user or from a different user? If the same user, well the windows registry allows all manner of mis configurations that are difficult to trace. Otherwise you are right, it must be an ancient setup for IE5+pdf that Tapestry "gets on the wrong side of". I wonder if that is fixable without intefering with everything that works for the 99% of your users, though? Something to detect ie5 as the client and alter the doc type accordingly? You may have to get down to versions and patches though as some precise configurations require. BTW, aren't you also referencing some css? If so it maybe this ie5 then associates with pdf. Adam
