I knew this....When downloading it is saved to my download file. From this file when I prompt for the download to open...This is when the error message appears and prevents me from viewing the download.

Hello again, sorry for the late reply.

So, the file is downloading but when you attempt to open the file once it has finished downloading and saved in your downloads file, this is when you get the error message? (sorry long day and my eyes and head are sore :) )

Hope this helps
