Dean, Andrew,

Interesting to read this. It seems like I am experiencing the same issue and have been searching for a resolution for a while. Unfortunately, due to the size of some of my files I do not simply want to set the default to opening files online. Do you have any other insight to offer as to the cause of the problem? Note that all other users of the same site have no problems.

Thanks.
