If you just open via a link then it doesn't open it in word as a document from webdav, it just opens it as it would any other word document linked to from a website (ie: it downloads a temp copy and then opens that read only in Word).
Well, not always.
With Office2000 on W2000, it actually does protocol discovery, prompts for credentials, and then opens read/write.
With Office2003 on W2000, *sometimes* it just opens it read-only (with the content from IE's cache), but sometimes it starts sending OPTIONS requests (both to the document and it's parent collection).
You can use vb/javascript to get it to open in word as a webdav document if required (this seems to be the only way). I can post some sample code if you like.
Well, right now I'm trying to understand what it's *supposed* to do, and whether there are any local configurables influencing the behaviour.
