"Always ask before opening this type of file" dialog box
I tried to open an Access Application on a web page, it
poped up with a "File Download" window asking the user with the following choices, Open, Save, Close and More Info. Also the Checkbox for the "Always ask before this type of file" is GREY OUT i.e. not available. So I clicked on on the "More Info" button to get more information. Under the "note" it stated the following: "The Always ask before opening this type of file check box is not available for some file types, such as files with the extensions .exe or .com, which run programs or commands. When this check box is not available, you will always be asked before opening this type of file." Wait a minute I just want to open the Access database with the file extension .mdb and it is not the file type with the extensions .exe or .com. So is there a way to get rid of this annonying "File Download" dialog box? I understand that the need to control the type of file to open for the security reason. But at least Windows XP should give the end user the choice to select the type of file to use this security option. Agree... I searched the Microsoft web site and Microsoft said that there a "Prototype" fix for it for peoeple contact microsoft directly as mentioned in the web page: http://support.microsoft.com/default...id=kb%3Ben-us% 3B822232 Can I have the fix please? |

"Always ask before opening this type of file" dialog box
I had a similar problem with a script i was running on the local network.
but i think the same would apply. you need to add the site to a trusted section in IE under the security tab. "paul" wrote in message ...

"Always ask before opening this type of file" dialog box
Hi Kevin:
Thank you for your advice. It does not work on the Access apllication with the file extension mdb. I tested it with the Trust Site method by assigning the http://localhost as a trust site and tested the web site to open an Access application and it still poped up with that stupid "File Download" dialog box.

"Always ask before opening this type of file" dialog box
Another thought... In folder options have a look at file types. search for
mdb. Click advance. There is a tick box confirm open after download. Try having that un-ticked. You may need a restart!? "Paul" wrote in message ... Hi Kevin: Thank you for your advice.
