Hi there, when users using IE want to open a zip file from the intranet by using the "open" option from the download dialog they get winzip complaining that the file is corrupted. if they select "save" from the same dialog they can open the zip archive without problem.
Sounds like you have a .tar.gz being served with an incorrect content type such that IE stupidly saves it as a .tar which then gets passed to WinZip, which doesn't look at the content of the file and so tries to open the .tar.gz as if it was a .tar and so barfs...
cheers,

thanks, but its a *.zip file. and it is when opening in the window that springs up at the end of the download. when it is saved and then opened all is fine robert
