How do i open Office Documents inside of IE? Currently i get prompted w/ a
dialog box Open/Save/Cancel. In my application i want to programatically
display the document in an iframe. If i point to PDF it works fine, but .doc
file give the prompt.
Thanks.

You have office installed on the client machine?

You are sending the correct content type when responding to the request for
a document?

Do you have Content-Dispostion: attachment in the response? (If so remove
it).
