problem opening files from Intranet. corrupted files?

[Bruce Lawrence]

I'm completely baffled.

I have an intranet for my company. On one of the pages there are links
to MS Access databases. Simple right?

When you click a hyperlink to open a database the message box comes up
asking to open or save. I click OPEN and the database opens just like
it should.

Now, when I close the database and click that same link again, it asks
to open or save and click OPEN however this time it tells me it cannot
open the file using the default program and the file is corrupt or
whatever and my only options are save or cancel.

If I click CANCEL and click the link a 3rd time, it opens the database
no problem! I click the link a 4th time and it gives me te corruption
message again.

It's alternating between opening and not opening. What theeee...

Anyone else having this problem? I'm totally clueless as to how to fix
this.

By the way, I should mention that this only happens on XP computers.
2000 systems are fine.
