   The site I was on this morning where it happened was a password
protected site...so no I can't. However it has happened to m e
several times on other sites...none of which I can recall at the
moment..sorry. Normally it works like you have already
described...but every once in a while ( MS-oriented sites) the site
refuses to allow you to open the file unless you have Acrobat
installed. I was wondering what it is they look for.
