We have a Microsoft Word document which is e-mailed to clients, and contains
links to specific reports that can be displayed on an ASP web page. Users
are required to login to the web application to verify their account.

The problem is that each time the user clicks on a link in the Word document
a new window, and new user session, is opened requiring them to reenter their
username and password. After the first round of clicking a link, entering a
password and displaying a report, I am trying to get the links to open in the
existing widow so that session state is maintained and the user does not have
to reenter their password.

I have tried to set the target property of the link to a specific name with
no luck.

Does anyone know how to address this problem?
