Need help with aspx files

Hi, my wife has a MacBook Pro.She T-totally loves it except for this one caveat...she has to do some things for work...we downloaded the files and they are ASPX files.I read some of the previous posts and Adobe did not work..I was able to open it in Neo Office but it doesn't make any sense..any ideas?? I have run a G4 for yrs w/no problems and have always been able to find a plug-in etc to run
anything needed.

Welcome to Apple Discussions:
The aspx file extension is for Microsoft Net. See here:
http://filext.com/file-extension/ASPX
It indicates that DreamWeaver might be able to open them.
There is some hope, however because the above link does state:

ProgramName MIMEType
Active Server Page Extended
Found in Multiple GNU/Linux Packages
Found in Some FreeBSD/NetBSD Packages

Perhaps some heavy dogpiling might turn up some BSD apps that will workl

You should be able to open it in a web browser, I believe. Whether it works well in a browser other than Internet Explorer is another question altogether, since .aspx is a Microsoft-ism. I have no experience to tell you one way or another.

Bravely change the extension to PDF. Open in any PDF reader (if you don't like Adobe Acrobat, SKIM comes to mind.) Then Save As... File Format: PDF. What you get is a file ending in .Pdf.pdf - you can rename that one also, I didn't bother. That's how I finally managed to print my tax return!
(Quite possibly you could start out without any extension, but I didn't try that.)
