Convert file dialogue when opening word doc

[MrGandalf]

Hi,

I have a page that uses Response.Transmitfile to open a word document. About a week ago some users are getting a "Convert file" dialogue when opening such a document.

Users in the same network some get the dialogue, some can't. Can anyone help me approach this problem.

It's most likely a setting on the user's pc as opposed to an ASP.NET problem. What is the full message that they get?

It's a dialogue box thats says:
Convert file from:

with a list of document types. For example Textfile, Richt tekst format etc.

I thought also it's a setting on the user's pc but this happened last week wednesday too many users at once.

I'm afraid I haven't seen a dialogue box that says "Convert file from" so I can't think what it might be. There is however a problem with TransmitFile and Windows 2003 SP1 that may be applicable depending on your operating system:
