Hello,

I created a virtual web site on a NT server with IIS4
The virtual site points to directories with documents like Word, Excel, PDF,
Text...

>From the browser (on a client PC) , i access the documents like this
http://server/virtualsite/document.doc

Normally, it should display document "document.doc"
But in fact, a dialog box displays "Enter network password" (message "enter
your authentification informations)

1) All my files are NTFS with total control for everybody!
2) This does produce only on Office documents. For pdf and text files there
is no problemes, the dialog box does not appear!
3) If i click "Cancel", the file displays anyway
4) If i use an administrator account (NT domain) on my client PC, everything
works well. If i use a standard account, the problem arrives !

I'm trying to find the solution fro many days naow and i cannot find it by
myself
Would you have an idea ? or a track to follow ?

Thanks a lot
Fabrice
