[FX.php List] [OFF] Trouble with clients trying to download DOCX files from web server

[Bob Patin]

GGT,

I'm not sure what that means; do you mean that I need to set a MIME  
type, or does that mean that the client machine needs the right  
machine to deal with the file?

If it's the latter, then why, when my client's Mac has MS Word, does  
it not handle the file properly, and why do his employee machines also  
not handle it, even though they're PCs?

Please explain what you mean by "have an application assigned to it."  
Assigned where?

Thanks,

bob
