From: RichardSmit on 21 Sep 2009 11:02 We have the same problem here at the Hogeschool van Amsterdam. It has something to do with IE security settings. If a site is not trusted ie will open the file read the file header and makes a dission on what program to use. In case of a docx file it will use zip because it is a zip file. We discovered that the problem was with non IIS web servers who didn't have the correct mime types configured on the server. We found two option to workaround this problem. You either add the mime type to the webserver or you add the site to your trusted sites so IE uses the file exstension and not the file header. Hope this analyses helps... It's not a bug it's a security feature. -- RichardSmit ------------------------------------------------------------------------ RichardSmit's Profile: http://forums.techarena.in/members/137322.htm View this thread: http://forums.techarena.in/ms-office-support/815601.htm http://forums.techarena.in |
