Documents linked in an aspx page don't open

[gmarrufo]

Greetings all,

I have the following problem:

An application in asp.net was developed but some changes needed to be made; the principal function of the app is to show some links for documents (which they reside in the webserver) and the documents names are stored in a SQL DB. The app will go against the DB and pull the names of the documents, populate data grids and creates links for all of them.

App was working fine, changes were made (add more datagrids for more documents and added more document names in the DB), changes look good (page wise) but when I try to open a document (different types: word, pdf, etc and even old existing docs), they don't give me the option to open/save/cancel. Just the progress bar at the bottom of IE runs and nothing shows up.

thanks in advance for any help,

G

Make sure that the asp.net user account has permission to read from the directory that you're storing the files in. That could be the problem.
