I'm not sure if this is possible (but I'm really hoping). Currently on our intranet (which is on an IP) there is one person who frequently accesses common word and excel files to update (for pricing and such) . Since they are MS products and we browse using IE, these files open inside IE, which is fine. But once the changes are made, clicking the back button prompts the user to save changes (this is also fine). However, when the user selects 'yes' they are automatically shown a popup browse window so they can select where to store the file (by default it starts on the c drive). I don't want this to happen. If the user is in a doc file editing on http://192.168.2.1/intranet/files/hardwareorder.doc I want this overwritten automatically when they click the yes button to save it in that location. Permissions are not a problem bcos I can simply browse to the same place and then save as good as gold.
This may be the wrong approach, so my next question would be - is it possible to open the file in the correct associated program by launching it (i.e. doc files launch word for editing) and would this solve the problem?
Also, if a particular file is open what's the best approach to flag this for other users so they're aware?
