CAUSE
<script type="text/javascript">loadTOCNode(1, 'cause');</script> This behavior occurs when the Content Expiration option in the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) Headers, within IIS, is set to Expire Immediately. Internet Explorer must save any Microsoft Office file to the local cache directory, and then use the associated application to open the file. If you set Content Expiration to Expire Immediately, the Office documents are not cached locally and the operation fails.Back to the top
RESOLUTION
<script type="text/javascript">loadTOCNode(1, 'resolution');</script> When you configure the HTTP Headers within IIS for the Virtual Directory (or for the Directory) that contains Office documents, do not set Content Expiration to Expire Immediately.Back to the top
MORE INFORMATION
