Does it work with Firefox? Look at the HTTP headers being returned with the file; if they contain a Cache-Control setting of no-cache, IE will not hang onto the file long enough to let an application open it. It's also possible that an incorrect mime type is being returned with the file. You can browse the archives for "pdf" and "cache" and see lots of traffic about this IE "feature". http://marc.info/?l=tomcat-user&w=2&r=1&s=pdf+cache&q=b - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
