That did the job, I changed the mime types on the server. and now it
downloads correctly. Only one small issue, If I click open it opens in Power
point but if I click save and then open it opens in the viewer, which is
correct and the option I would like to have.
any idea,... you mentioned that it should always run on the viewer
No, that it it generall WON'T run in the viewer if PowerPoint itself is available.
But it should matter which ... if it's opening in show mode it will behave pretty much
the same way in either PPT or the viewer.
When you say it opens in PowerPoint, what exactly do you see? Normal/editing view or
the slide show view?
Thanks for your help.

Hmmm. I'm guessing that you may need to set different mime types for ppsx and pptx
in order to get PPT to treat them differently. If PPT is installed, you generally
won't get PPSX files to run in the viewer no matter what, but that shouldn't be an
issue. Generally you WANT them to run in PPT itself, if it's available.
In fact, have a look here:

Different types for PPTX and PPSX files.

Hi Steve,
The error message I get is,
Power Point can not open file.pptx because it does not have a valid format
or extension, check that the file is not corrupt and has a valid extension.
The file is ppsx, it is opening as pptx, it starts Power Point and not the
viewer, I've enven tried, unlocking the file is the properties (file
downloaded from internet..)
File uploaded with front page 2003, downloaded with IE6.
The mime type code on my server is
application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.presentationml.presentation
extension ppsx pptx
Also tried uploading with FTP in binary mode, same problem
Any other suggestion,
Thanks for your quick response.

Hi friends,
I've uploaded a pptx presentation on my web to share with my friends, first
when I clicked on the link it downloaded as a zip file with xml files,
checked on the web and found a solution to add the pptx mime type on my
server. Now the file download as ppsx (I uploaded as pptx) and when I try to
open it, I get an error. Both when I open it dierectly and when I save to
harddisk and open later.
An error message? What does it say?
One thing you might try is to upload the file again and be *absolutely* certain
you upload it as binary rather than text. Uploading as a text file will almost
certainly corrupt the file.
If I zip the file it works fine, but I would like to publish in pptx format.
is it possible.
Thanks for your help.
