Browser cache problem - Office doc not up-to-date

[3legs]

Wanna ask if I use HREF to point to a Word doc or Excel file, the browser
always cached the document and even if I updated the document in the web
site, the client always download the old document... what should i do to
clean the cache? simply use the clean up cache option in the Options panel
doesn't work very well...

please advise... thank you very much!

I just made an upgrade from IE5.5 to IE6.0. Now I have a problem, that I. E.
is not working with any HTML tag:
e.g.<META http-equiv="Refresh" content="0;URL=/....">
Answer: I found it.
In the IE-Options->security, I had to allow "META REFRESH".
