login dialog when word document is closed

[kc]

I'm using a Repeater to display a series of lines, each containing a date
and two images, one for Word and the other for PDF. Both images display their
respective documents, in new windows, when clicked. When the window
containing the Word document is closed, a login prompt (to the base web
server) is raised (maybe Word is trying to update the document on the
server?). Any idea how I can prevent this? The symptoms were the same when
the documents were opened in the main window.

Here is the html for the repeater:

<asp:Repeater id="rpNewsletters" runat="server">
<ItemTemplate>
<td><%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "NewsletterDate") %></td>
<td><a href="<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "WordDocument") %>"
target="_blank">
<img src="images/word.gif"</a></td>
<td><a href="<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "PDFDocument") %>"
target="_blank">
<img src="images/pdf.gif"</a></td></tr>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:Repeater>

Thanks,

Keith
