Hello all,

I'm opening a word document through IE on a local network, it opens up fine but if a document is password protected then it should prompt for the password which it doesn't.

Is there something that I should be doing to get the password prompt?

The way I'm opening the document is by a link on a web page e.g.

<a href="\\path\to\file.doc">Document</a>

Thanks for any help.
