However, if the user has logged into the site before this page, the browser will continue to send the user/password pair until you move to another site. And even then, some browsers will cache the login until you actually exit the browser.The real issue is that when the file is being sent, it does not have the correct MIME file type set. I suspect this is still IIS's fault, since the webserver is responsible for sending the MIME types. However, if you are trying to send the files as binary directly from WebCatalog, you will need to set the MIME type yourself. But you have not told us enough to know that is what you are doing.HTHJohn-- John Peacock Director of Information Research and Technology Rowman & Littlefield Publishing Group 4720 Boston Way Lanham, MD 20706 301-459-3366 x.5010 fax 301-429-5747------------------------------------------------------------- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list
