| Hi Stefan,
|
| Actually, I found a more recent article that helped me fix the problem.  I'm
| using MSO 2000 with all the Service Releases installed. What are we up to
| now, SR3? I can't remember.  Plus, I have FP2002, so there have been updates
| for Office XP installed as well.  What a mess!  Don't ever mix versions!
| LOL!!!
|
| Anyway, the article I found related to Word 2003 specifically, but also
| related to IE6 (which is what I also run) so I took a chance.  The article
| requires us to make a registry modification and although the path didn't
| exactly match my version (Word is version 9 instead of 11 mentioned in the
| article), I took a chance and tried it.  It fixed the problem.
|
| Apparently, when a word document is opened in a browser window and that
| window is subsequently closed or you use the browser back button, IE
| attempts to write an entry somewhere, I forget where now, .... AND if you
| HAPPEN to be viewing that document from a web site that YOU have published
| yourself, it's going to try to write that entry back to the web server where
| the file was retrieved from.  Go figure!
|
| The article is located at:
| http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;822128&Product=ie600
| and it also has a link in it for Word 2002, which did not contain the
| information I needed myself.
|
| For anybody who has been following this thread, I finally discovered why it
| was randomly trying to open Word instead of viewing the file in the browser
| window.  For the first file I viewed and subsequently closed the browser
| window, IE was in the background trying to write this entry somewhere. In
| the meantime, I had clicked the next link.  Since IE wasn't done with the
| last file (I guess), Word kicked in to actually download and open the 2nd
| document.  At the same time Word started, the password requirement for the
| last browser window I closed would pop up making me think it was Word asking
| for it.  By waiting to see what happened after I closed the browser window,
| I discovered the password request would eventually come up.  Once I clicked
| cancel on it, I could click the next link and the document would open in the
| browser window where it belonged.  Good old high-speed internet access had
| gotten ahead of me.
|
| Anyway, modifying the registry adding the key this article suggested has
| fixed the problem.  I no longer get any password request.  The documents all
| open in the browser window as they were intended to do and I can close the
| window quickly and go to the next document without any trouble.
|
| I hope this helps someone else trying to figure out what the heck is going
| on.
|
| Thanks everyone, for your help.

| (ps:  This dang forum is still loosing my posts.  I finally bit the bullet
| and got Outlook Express set up to view these newsgroups.  My own original
| thread won't download!  I get the responses, but not the top level of the
| thread.  I can view it in the browser version of the newsreader, but not on
| OE.  Grrrrrrrrrr!)
