Hello,

There is a server with OS Win 2003. It has running IIS 6.0.
There are several clients that tries to open PDF files through this server,
The problem is that when the path to the file or filename contains
lithuanian symbols, the file fails to open.
Instead of opening PDf content in an Internet Explorer it shows absolutely
blank Internet explorer page.
The problem is solvable when the client computer has WinXP, because after
making all available WinXP updates the problem is gone and the PDF file can
be succesfuly opened.
But for clients with Win2000 OS this problem is irresolvable.
All month we can't find any soluttion.
That is why I am writing to this newsgroup.

This problem is very hot for me, because it appeared on a production system
and it MUST be solved somehow.

I appreciate any help.

Thank you.

Respectfully,
Vytautas

I'm not shore but I think that my problem is related with IIS.
