Hello I have a form with web control (Access 2013)

I have a list of files which using the on current event previews the current recorsd file in the browser control.

It all works great - but I have an annoyance.

When the file type is pdf, jpg etc all is fine and it displays fine.

But if the file is excel, then a pop up appears saying "open or save"

Is there away to prevent the popup?

Many thanks Mark
 
Excel or Word documents can't be displayed in webbrowser control. If you don't like the message, test file type before passing it to the control.
