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).
That's interesting.
I've tried with several versions of office on windows, and when opening a document from a <href> style link, they've always just opened it as they would any document linked to from a webpage. Also, when looking for a solution to this it seems that everyone else has experienced the same thing.
I'd be interested to hear more about this as one of the problems we've been having is opening the documents in word so they can be save straight back to slide.
Cheers
