It is about
http://bbo.bridgebas...tourneyresults/
which displays tournament results .lin files.
I noticed that when I click on some of them Windows opens them directly from BBO and all is OK, but when I click on some others Windows opens a blank file, and I must download the file on my hard disk and open it from my hard disk to get results displayed.
I know now why :
this one will be opened directly from BBO :
http://bbo.bridgebase.com:81/tourneyresult...MATCH__~1~8.lin
and this one will be displayed as a blank .lin file :
http://bbo.bridgebase.com:81/tourneyresult..._ligi__~1~6.lin
It depends on the number of characters of the .lin file's name : less than 71* it will be opened directly from BBO, more than 71* it will display a blank .lin file.
Quite annoying.

* it may be 72 or 73, I had not time to determine it with precision, but the limit is precise.

Using windows NT4 (service patch 6 I think), I can open both of those in lin file. Also same with windows XP professional.
Windows ME has always had some annoying habits. :-(

Hi, Ben, and thanks for the information. It's good that newer Windows have not this problem.
Best regards.
