------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mon Jul 31 02:07:11 -0700 2006 ------- ...FOLLOW ON of my previous comments, since I typed "enter" too soon... ..1/ by entering a "folder" url in internet explorer and open it as "Web Folder" : well funny but not so useful ..2/ by creating a "permanent" network shortcut to a dav folder : then, with ms office versions from mso2000 to 2003 you can DOUBLE CLICK on any mso doc and it opens gracefully alerting about locking if another person has already opened the doc simply by dblclicking on it (no need to put a lock explicitely with a property sheet as is Novell NetDrive for example or the too simple "Dossiers Web libres". This works very well. and probably the most reliable solutions in Windows world. ..3/ refinement on 2k/XP : using -transparently- the Webclient service one can "MOUNT", I should say "MAP", a dav folder url to a local virtual drive (as we commonly do with SMB shares): interesting thing, giving the opportunity to DBL CLICK on ANY type of documents in remote locations (eg oo docs) BUT WITH ALMOST NO LOCKING SUPPORT: even for msoffice docs the webclient locking support between different versions of msoffice DOES NOT WORK (eg : no locking support between off2k and off2003, whereas with solutions 2/ it was ok...) I do not want of course to talk about the "sharepoint service" which is only a non standard MS "moneyware" MS wants to impose as a replacement for the "good" dav mechanism. Well finally it is a strategic business issue that : 1/ oo supports oo interlocking access to a common dav folder. 2/ AND, if possible, a shell extension in windows world and maybe in other platforms, allowing the DBL CLICK on a dav locations mounted locally as "network shortcut" (a MSwin particularity) and/or as a drive. 3/ for "bad" interoperabilty reasons, be able to manage locking ON "MSoffice" docs CONCURRENTLY with other machines accessing the same docs not with oo but with MSOffice: ie transparent concurrency on msoffice docs WITH either other oo clients OR MS OFFICE clients. Hope this will help. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
