Are you able to open XML file by clicking on XML hyperlink in the *internet* using your browser?

Hi Ramesh,

Thanks for your reply.

Background: The machine was recently upgraded from Office 2003 SP2 to
Office 2007. Before the upgrade, XML works fine from both Windows
Explorer and IE.

Yes, I was able to open xml file from Windows Explorer by double
clicking the file, but when I browse the intranet and try to access an
eDocument (which is another xml file), it says

"The file does not have a program associated with it. Please select a
program from Control Panel to associate with this file type"

I double click the file on the intranet as well.

My Computer->Tools->Folder Options->File Types->Extension XML is
associated with Internet Explorer

Using an UNC address perhaps? Are you able to open local XML files
using the same way?

Hi All,

I currently have a windows xp sp2 machine.

The problem I'm having is, whenever I try to open a XML file from
intranet, it pop up an error message saying:

-"The file does not have a program associated with it. Please select a
program from Control Panel to associate with this file type"-

However, I have already specify XML documents to be opened with
Internet Explorer, and I am able to open XML document via Windows
Explorer, but just not from intranet where I access the file from
Internet Explorer.

Does anyone know the solution to the above problem?

Any lead to the answer will be greatly appreciated...


Thank You~!!!
