asp_databases thread: MS Word Problem

Hello All,
I have an urgent problem...I have a database that contains the file names of
some word documents that I must display on my web site. Each time that I
click on the link to display the documents, I'm asked for my network user
name and password. This is good security, but I don't want the user to see
this dialogue each time. IIS is trying to prevent people from saving a
changed file to the web server.
Do any of you have a better solution for my task, or can anybody tell me how
to force the download of a word file, where the dialogue box would not come
up...

It has to do with the web server security setting and also the file
directory security setting.
Make sure that the user and password that your web server authenticate your
user has access right to the files indicated by your file directory
security.

If I allowed everybody access to this directory, would this not allow for
them to change the MS word files that are contained there?

Just make sure that your IUSR_MachineName account has READ/LIST permissions.
Remove "Write"
This will allow the user to open the file, but any attempts when saving will
be prevented.
