This opening within IE, is purely a configuration issue, if a person can't access embedded office documents, I don't think it's unreasonable to expect them to have it configured to do this. (not that I think serving Word documents is sensible in the first place.) Explorer - Folder Options - File Types - "Microsoft Word Document" - untick browse in same window. (for each type of office document.) Jim.
