Problems with opening excel file from FTP location

[netizen]

Hi!
I've an FTP site where I programatically upload some files. After that view these files using Internet Explorer (my version is 6.0). All files get opened in the browser without any problem except excel files (.xls)! While opening any .xls file, from being in this FTP folder, it first pops up the standard FTP logon box seeking password. This happens only sometimes not always! After giving some junk characters also, the screen disappears and then the file gets opened.

What could be the issue here? Let me know asap.

Thanks,
Netizen

Errrm - you're in the VB5/6 forum. Is this a VB5/6 problem?

If it is we will need a bit more info about what you're doing and how you're doing it!

Take a good look at faq222-2244 for forum usage guidelines
