Hi Peter, I uploaded a PPT template (.pot) file to dmx, but when I double click to open/view - the open/save dialog comes up, I select open, and the 'download to temporary folder' dialog comes up as expected - except that it gets stuck and nothing happens. If I set the file attribute as a 'Powerpoint Document' you can open it ok using the webdav 'open in powerpoint icon' option. But the direct view issue as I described earlier, is a bit annoying for users who aren't logged in. I tried adding updating the file types screen for Powerpoint to - ppt;pot, but it didn't seem to make any difference. Any ideas? Simon

Hi Simon, Does the file get recognized as Powerpoint? I.e. does it get the corresponding icon? Peter

Hi Peter, sorry for the long delay - yes it does show the icon, just seems to 'stick' when you get to the download part of the open/save dialog from a double-click on the file. thanks for your help, simon

Hi Simon, Then it's a client side issue I think. DMX does not control how the client PC handles the download. Could it be that PP doesn't like a template to be in the temp internet files? Peter

Bring2mind is the company of Peter Donker, a DotNetNuke enthusiast who has been involved with the platform from the very beginning. At the same time as the market for modules emerged, he realized there was no good document management solution for the platform yet and he set about creating this. In part he based the module on his experience with other document management systems he used while working as a researcher. His module, Document Exchange, was an instant success and has since become the premier document management solution for DotNetNuke. In 2004 he created Bring2mind as a vehicle for the module and is one of the few successful businesses solely based on a DotNetNuke product.
