Unable to resolve the XSL reference from MS Outlook e-mail attachment on Win XP

2004-02-26 09:38:50
I am hoping that someone can point me in the right direction:  I am currently 
working on a project to send some XML Purchase Orders via e-mail.

I have run into an issue that appears to be isolated to MS Outlook when running 
on XP.

When Outlook receives the e-mail with the attachment, we are unable to open the 
XML document directly from the e-mail.  We get an error when it attempts to 
resolve to the stylesheet (which was previously placed on the local hard drive 
of the receiving machine in the specified directory).

The specific error we get is:

      The XML page cannot be displayed 

      Cannot view XML input using XSL style sheet. Please correct the error

      and then click the Refresh button, or try again later. 

      Access is denied. Error processing resource 
'file:///c:/LynkIncXML/LynkXMLPO.xsl'.

We are being forced to save the XML document to the local hard drive, and then 
are able to open it with the stylesheet formatting in place.  

I know that the attachment is stored in C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Local 
Settings\Temporary Internet Files\OLFK17 so I browsed to the actual XML temp 
file and tried opening it from there and get the same error.  So I moved that 
very same file to a different directory and was able to open it without any 
errors!

Anyone have any ideas about this?  Why would that temp directory be causing 
this to occur?

Other e-mail clients, such as Lotus Notes or Outlook Express on a Win 9x/ME 
machine, do not have a problem opening this same document.

TIA
