MS Access Snapshot Viewer - XP SP2 - IE

[itdamon]

Hi,

We have an application that uses the MS Access Snapshot Viewer to display reports within a web browser. Ever since XP Service Pack 2 we can no longer view the report in IE. It now askes us to save the file to disk, and then opens in the Snapshot application. Is there any way to restore IE to display the .snp snapshot viewer files??

Thanks,
-Damon

Just tried that...rebooted...still didn't help. When I open a link to a .snp file on our Intranet (we use IE) it is still prompting me to save the file before I can open it. None of the other machines (non XP SP2) do this. They just open the file within IE to view the database snapshots.

I've also tried changing the .snp file association to IE... still no solution

Close all instances of IE.
Control Panel, Internet Options, Advanced
Scroll down to the 'Security' subsection and checkmark the first two entries.

Save the settings, reboot and test.

If no joy, dig slightly deeper:
