By "Microsoft" files I presume you mean Office files ( .doc, .ppt, and
the like?). These users have Office 2000 on their computers and are
using Internet Explorer?

I presume this is similar or the same as the problem discussed in
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;q225234.

The solution is for the user to apply SR1 to his Office installation.
