Open docx in DW8

I've got an issue when a user clicks on a link pointing to a file and they try to download an Office 2007 file (docx, xlsx, etc) a new Explorer window opens as supposed to the "Open, Save, Close" Dialog box. This works fine with older Office files, wavs etc.

Is there any resolution to this issue?

    Save the documents as .doc

    Well my users save/upload their documents as both Office 2007 and Pre-2K7. Is there anything code wise that might help?

    You might try adding an HTTP header to tell IE to treat the file as an attachment. Note I haven't tested this.
