required Session Cookies ain't available when opening URLs from Word,Powerpoint, ...

Hi,
I'm using Internet Explorer 6.0 with Apache 1.3.27 Server
and Windows XP with Office XP.

I tried to open urls of my web based application (cgi)
from ms word or ms powerpoint. The user will be
authenticated by a session-cookie.

Every time I open the url from e.g. word, the session
cookie will not be send to the web based application,
even if other Internet Explorer instances are running
with the required session-cookie. The application thinks
the user is not authenticated, because of the missing
session-cookie, and does a redirect.

The redirected request send by the Internet Explorer
instance the e.g word application started already
contains the session cookie.

Redirections are made with javascript on client /
Internet Explorer side.

Otherwise everythings works fine, when the urls are
opened from any other application like mozilla or Outlook.

Does anyone else have this problem ?
Is there a workaround?

Jan
