Hi,

However, I am having problems with a link to a file (.rdp) I have regsitered
it, and when I click follow link in the design view it launches fine. When in
preview it does nothing

Can anyone help

What happens if you use Preview in Browser? Preview is not a real
browser - it may not display any error messages.

I Get a 404 error

The page cannot be found
The page you are looking for might have been removed, had its name changed,
or is temporarily unavailable.

Please try the following:

Make sure that the Web site address displayed in the address bar of your
browser is spelled and formatted correctly.
If you reached this page by clicking a link, contact the Web site
administrator to alert them that the link is incorrectly formatted.
Click the Back button to try another link.
HTTP Error 404 - File or directory not found.
Internet Information Services (IIS)

Technical Information (for support personnel)

Go to Microsoft Product Support Services and perform a title search for the
words HTTP and 404.
Open IIS Help, which is accessible in IIS Manager (inetmgr), and search for
topics titled Web Site Setup, Common Administrative Tasks, and About Custom
Error Messages.


But its definitely there, I am going to try permissions to the directory

We are using a 2003 R2 Server

Where do I add this?

Also just done some checking could this be due to dynamic content?

Open IIS MMC:
Start->Administrative Tools->Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager
Expand the tree in left column, right click on the web site, and choose
Properties.
HTTP Headers tag, click Mime Types button
Click New
Add extension and MIME type
Example:
Extension: .rdp
MIME Type: RDP File

Click OK, OK
