Does that mean they cannot design a website because they have no internet connection? What happens if I write a document that references a website (not an html page, or the likes, just a plain old doc)... does that need access to the web too? I think the reason that the firewall is picking up that word is requesting web access is because of the system call it is making. Word itself isn't attempting to make an internet connection, but it is however making a system call to invoke the related application. This indirectly would make Word the application that requested access, although the firewall miss-identified the actual program that is going to use the link. From a guess, the firewall is likely to be looking out for certain calls to the system library, like ShellExec, with an URL as an argument.

Hello TBUDL, When I double-click on a URL in an email message, nothing happens. If I SHIFT-double-click on say http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/FAQ.html, I get http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/FAQ.html; - The system cannot find the file specified. IE is my default browser.

By the system I would understand your Windows system is meant. You say IE is your default browser, that would mean two things: 1.) IE is indeed installed on your system, 2.) .html files are associated with it. Go to Windows Explorer and check for View / Folder Options / Files Types. Scroll until you find HTML Document. And see whether it is correctly associated. Go to Edit... then again Edit.. and let us know what you see in that window entitled Editing action for file type: HTML document. -- Cheers, Thomas.
