MSIE should do this too, if set to "check always" as Chuck says above, but I have noticed the phenomenon too, that sometimes the most recent version is *not* loaded. My theory is, that this is provider dependent (even if you don't have configured a proxy server). It seems to me, that one of my ISP's uses proxy servers in the "background" so to say, and the Explorer can only get the old copies which lay there, for the first 2 or 3 attempts. I even get older (!) versions of pages sometimes, after pressing F5 (that's why I think that there is more than one proxy). I did not have this problem with other providers. Regards, M.Scheidl
