I have a .dot that is protected and prompts user to enter information in
various text boxes. Everything works great when document is opened from
file.

When I publish the document on our intranet, where it is opened via a link,
the user prompts do not work, and the text boxes are unavailable.

Does anyone know what is causing this. Is it an IE setting?

G'day "ChrisCam" <ccamilleri@co.marin.ca.us>,

A simple way to ensure the file executes on the client and not as part
of IE is to link to a zipped version of the file. When it opens and
they double-click what is inside they get Word fire up with that
document / template.

Hello;
Does that mean that the users need to have winzip or some such program
installed to extract the document?
