Can't open file in a temporary directory...

Hi,

I saw a couple of similar questions but neither had an accepted answer that solved my problem.  Here's the deal...I am dynamically creating a comma separated value (CSV) file using Java Server Pages (JSP).  When the user chooses to get the CSV file the user is prompted to save the file, open the file or cancel.  Everything works fine with saving the file.  And for most people everything works fine when opening the file.  But one tester ran into an error when trying to open the file.  He got the following error message:

"C:\Documents and Settings\...\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\6TCFAPSX\'sub_rates[1].csv' could not be found.  Check the spelling of the file name, and verify that the file location is correct."

So it seems like there is some security setting on his computer that won't allow him to open the CSV file.  I was using IE6 and we synchronized our security settings and then I experienced the same problem.  But then I installed IE7 and now I don't get the problem.

Do you by chance know what is blocking this file from opening?

Thank you!

Possible:

From the Tools pull down menu select Internet Options, and click on the Security tab.

with 'internet' highlighted, click on custom level.

Under the section 'Downloads' - is it disabled?
