I guess this is a known problem with IE. I can't remember but I think we had the same problem with IE, and we came across a suggestion somewhere to end the pdf requesting URL with a .pdf (something like http://servername/xyz/something.do?your-param=xyz&dummy=.pdf)

Well, I have tried both inline and attachment, the only difference is that when using attachment I get question of where to save the file on all the other browsers instead of just opening (as expected), and IE still doesn't work. In fact, using attachment is worse for IE... Any more suggestions are appreciated... BTJ On Thu, 2003-10-30 at 15:19, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > This header currently works for me in a similar case.
