Clapping with 1 hand today it seems!

So anyways, for those that are dealing with this, I did find a fix and improved user experience at the same time, because opening up Office files in the browser has always and does ... suck anyways! PDF's too ... but that's just me. But Office files in the browser just suck. Smile

I added this to my htaccess to force certain file types to open in their native application.

Code:
<FilesMatch "\.(doc|docx|xls|xlsx|ppt|pptx|rtf|pdf)$">

ForceType application/octet-stream

Header set Content-Disposition attachment

</FilesMatch>
