Thanks much for the reply, but why did it work in IE5?

Alas that is a known IE issue. If a web page is not being served from an 
actual server it will change the url automatically from something like this
file:///C:/bgpr/index.html
to this
C:\bgpr\index.html
i.e. changing a web address to a windows file and directory location. Once 
that happens, bookmarks no longer work.
I learned this the hard way for a PDF CD-ROM project. I don't think there 
is a workaround.

I am developing a web-based document that will only be executed on a
local network (i.e. it will never be accessed over the internet).


I am aware of the syntax with PDF used to open to a specific page [
'file.pdf#page=6&view=fit' ]and this worked for me under IE 5 from a
java script. It also will work when the file is served from an http
server over the internet, but like I said, this will only be available
on a local network.


Today when I installed IE6, this stopped working. Is there a
configuration setting somewhere that I can change to make this work
again?


This is a very powerful way to provide access to our references on this
project.


Any help would be much appreciated.
