Does any one know if Microsoft has a fix for the following problem?

Office2000 will prompt for Basic Authentication username and password even though this has already been supplied for the requested directory. It may prompt a second time.

If you have already supplied a username and password to get access to the contents of the directory, then it doesn't matter whether the username and password are entered again (ie you can escape out of the pop-up prompt) and you will be able to view the document.

This only happens if you use IE and bot Netscape.
Thanks
