We have an application that creates an excel report which
is stored on our web servers. When trying to retreive the
reports (reportname.xls) we get an excel message saying it
can not open the file. The IIS log says -200 for the get
request and the Iuser_account has full access to the
directory on which the xls files reside on so I am not
thinking it's a security issue. Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks.

What if you download/save the file to the local machine's hard disk, and
then try to open it? If you still get that error, then there's something
wrong with the actual file (or your copy of Excel). That way you can
possibly eliminate IIS as the source of the error.

Cheers
