Hi,

I have placed some excel files into a PF and can open them fine in outlook. In OWA however i get a HTTP 403 (Forbidden) error.

You are not authorized to view this page.

Has anyone come accross this before and is there a resolution for this.

Many Thanks

Try right-clicking on the document and downloading it instead of trying to open it in a browser window. I've had this problem with certain firewalls and application filters. Downloading has successfully bypassed the issue.

we use Exchange2003, just tried that with a simple txt file, by saving it locally the files contents gets changed to :

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html; charset=utf-8">
</HEAD>
<body><h2>HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden</h2></body></HTML>

Many Thanks
