Assume two legitimate files in a directory: MYFILE.DBF and MYFILE.FPT
http://www.site.com/files/myfile.dbf works just fine.  I get the "Do you 
want to open or save this file?" dialog box, which is what I want.
http://www.site.com/files/myfile.fpt gives me a "The page cannot be found" 
error, and it is happening strictly because of the file extension.  Any 
hints on what needs to be set where will be most appreciated.  I have run 
out of ideas.

Are you connecting to your own server?
Ie, are you using WAA or Xb2.Net?

Brain finally kicked in and I realized this is an IIS issue rather than a IE 
problem.  I had to register .FPT as a MIME type for the website.  Now all is 
wonderful, but this moment shall pass, as usual.
