SP2 Office pack resolved the problem. But all the information was helpful
for us. Thanks

Just in case there is any misunderstanding, the problem here is that
when you open a document that is on a Windows network share (whether you
map via a drive letter or not) it looks as if that should have nothing
to do with Intranet/Internet. It's the "Windows network, right?"

That's what I used to think.

But what has happened is that the way software on Vista opens files
depends on whether it perceives that they /are/ in the Intranet or not.
In other words, it doesn't look at your file, see that's it's on a
Windows network share, and say "that's OK then". It looks at your share,
asks whether your share is in your Intranet, and if it is, says "that's
OK then".

Or something like that. Which is why it is at least worth checking your
IE settings. But from the sound of things, they will be exactly the same
as everyone else's.

I suppose the only thing I could think of at that point would be that
some Internet caching problem was getting in the way and that doing
something like deleting Internet temp files, etc. etc. might make a
difference.

Good luck with your investigation - if you do find out more it may help
a lot of people if you can post back your findings.
