Password inappropriately displayed to the viewer

[Paul H]

Using FrontPage 2000, I created a web page that I hoped would enable a
viewer to view or download a Word document. I dragged the document from my
local folder to the web page folder I created for this page, then created a
new page with two entries: Narrative telling the viewer to "click on the
following link", and a brief verbiage with a name for the Word document. I
gave this text a hyperlink to the Word document, and a Screen Tip. When
this text is clicked, the viewer is given the choice to open or download.
Both work fine. After viewing the document, when the viewer clicks "back",
instead of just returning to the web page, he is presented with the normal
"Connect to" FrontPage login page, with the User name filled in, and dots in
the Password field that are exactly the correct length of my password. I've
tried this on a few computers - all have the same symptom. How do I correct
this problem?

Have you tried this on a computer you have not logged into yourself?

To correct the login screen appearing, all PCs must be updated to Word
2000 SP1 or later.

Thank you Ron. The suggested resolutions all involve correcting the
viewer's computer - I have no control over them. Yes, I have tried a
computer I'm not logged into. So am I being told there is no fix I can put
into my web page to eliminate this problem on every viewer's computers? Is
there another way I can let the viewer download the Word document that
avoids the problem?

You could put it in a ZIP file.

Zip may be beyond some of my viewers.

Well, you can either educate them with a little information posted next to
the zip file, or live with the problem.
