My users (typically using IE8 or IE9) are downloading DOC/DOCX files from a secure folder in an ASP.NET 4.0 web forms site. The "Trusted Documents" security feature is causing my users to see an "Enable Editing" button which must be clicked before they can edit (or even print) the doc. Problem is, when they click this button Word seems to refetch the document and in the process...loses the fact they are logged in! Thus instead of the document loading a moment later, my "Login Required" web page loads inside Word 2010... ![D'Oh! | :doh:]()
This is very annoying to users as they must then close the document and redownload it - at which point (having trusted the document already) it opens just fine. Is there a way around this unpleasant user experience? I cannot move the files to any area which wouldn't require a login...and I certainly cannot remove a security feature from end user machines...
