Can you please just do what was asked of you in the previously? Post the log
file entries when the requests *are not working* so that we can get some
idea of why the requests are not working. I'm not really interested in what
you are seeing in IE, or what happens when you change settings so that the
requests work. We need to see what IIS is doing/thinking when the requests
are *failing*

Thanks

Cheers
Ken

I posted the log file and you can see that IIS is sending the file with no
errors

I'm sorry Ken, but I need to find someone who is interested in helping solve
this problem, which is that I cannot open the file on my computer with a
..CSV file extension.

The requests are not failing but the file is not opening in Excel or IE.
***This is the problem***

You said that you changed the security to allow anonymous auth.

You said:

So, are those entries that you posted when anonymous access was on? or off?

Sure. If you'd like free help with what is ultimately your problem, then I
think you need to try to be as clear as possible as to what is happening so
as not to waste time (both yours and mine) unnecessarily.

If you'd like cheerful support, then please call someone and pay them for
support. I suppose what I'm saying is that you get what you pay for.

Cheers

Ken,

I am actually am paying for this support as part of Microsoft Managed
Newsgroup Support which claims to "Get reliable answers to your questions by
the next business day in more than 100 Managed Newsgroups".

So I will take this up with Microsoft becuase I have had no "reliable"
support on this call.

Regards

Andrew
