I am having a problem I am not sure how to fix. I am going to a website that
lets me (supposedly) open a PPT file when I click on it. But the only 2
options I get are 1. Save or 2. Cancel, there is no Open button when I click
on the file. Any ideas?

I don't know, but my guess is this may be related to IE security settings.
Are you using IE7?

Yes, I am using IE6. I have looked through all the settings, but can not seem
to find anything that would effect if I tried top open a PT file.

The person I was trying to help is no longer concerned with the issue, but I
think your solution would have worked. Thank you.
