nope he only cashed out part of his. You see, he, unlike me, has two
incomes, no children and is gainfully employed.
So he still has some in the bank.

What I would do is try it both ways (once with her account, once with
another account), and view the source code for both, and see if there is a
difference. That difference might be the clue as to what is going wrong.

Well, I could go for that, except on the same machine, same browser, the
results change based on which email account is logged in. I have reproduced
it here -- on her employees' email accounts, I go right into the document,
but logged in as the director I get the dialog box. That's why I don't
think that it's the browser (unless it's really a goofy setting).
Thanks.

It's a client issue. In Netscape 4.7, for example, Edit | Preferences |
Applications opens up a list of file types, similar to the view in
Windows Explorer. Only if you edit one of the file types do you see the
checkbox about asking how to handle the file or just launching the app.
I assume IE is similar, but I don't remember where all that stuff is
located.
