Opening Word Documents from Front Page 2002

Recently the Word documents that we could access without
a password starting requiring the "Connect to www.xxxxx"
and password information in order to access. You can
click cancel and the document appears, but when you close
the document the "connect" message appears again. What
am I doing wrong?

Thanks for the tip. Wouldn't this just fix the problem
on my machine, though? Since it does say use regedit ad
your own risk, I hate to do this if it won't fix it for
everyone viewing the page. I'm posting this information
to the web site using FrontPage 2002 and the pages use to
display properly. Does fixing the regedit file on my
machine fixt the problem when I publish the web site?

I went to http://www.deltathetachi.org/forms/ clicked on one of the forms,
opened it, and then used the Back button in my browser and did not get the
password prompt. I *think* it's only a problem on your machine because you
have opened the web site in FrontPage on your machine, which created a Web
Folder for that web in your My Network Places. The registry edit should fix
it for (and for any one else in office that has opened the web in
FrontPage).

There is one other situation that could cause this - if your visitors are
Office 2000 users who have not installed Office 2000 Service Release 1a
