Enter Network Password - Cancel

I am trying to open and populate an Excel template through ActiveX
controls on our intranet site.

Now although it works, I get this annoying prompt which asks for 'Enter
Network Password'. If I select cancel, everything works as it should.
I have not set up any special security on the hosted xlt files. All
permissions seem to be good on the web server.

I've seen many newsgroup items that say SR1-a will fix this for Office
2000. This doesn't seem to apply to my problem. I've applied the
patch, used office 2002 and 2003 and all give the same prompt for a
network password.

I've manually started Excel on my client and in the open a file dialog
I enter a URL for the xlt, the same prompt appears.

Any ideas then on how to get rid of this prompt?

Cheers,
Andy.

Done a bit more digging and it seems to be an IIS problem. It works if
the xlt is added to a virtual path but not if its part of my ASP.NET
deloypment.

Problem still not solved but moving this question to a new IIS
newsgroup.
