The problem has been solved.  I read some posts online. It turned out the 
Single Sign On configuration was set to 'no-cache' and wasn't from httpd.conf.

Subject: [us...@httpd] IE 6 Won't Open Any Office Documents in the Browser 

Hi,
After I upgraded my web server to Apache 2.x, and I'm encountering a strange 
problem.
The IE browser won't open any documents in Office (.txt and .jpg files will 
open).  Everything works fine on Firefox.
I've not changed any source code except the new Apache stuff.  Can I alter this 
behavior in my httpd.conf?  Has anyone out there encountered this kind of 
problem before?

I found some information this Microsoft site  
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/316431 :
"In order for Internet Explorer to open documents in Office (or any 
out-of-process, ActiveX document server), Internet Explorer must save the file 
to the local cache directory and ask the associated application to load the 
file by using IPersistFile::Load. If the file is not stored to disk, this 
operation fails.

When Internet Explorer communicates with a secure Web site through SSL, 
Internet Explorer enforces any no-cache request. If the header or headers are 
present, Internet Explorer does not cache the file. Consequently, Office cannot 
open the file. "

Thanks
Mary
