Grant, please share your solution, I would be very interested to see it.
Thanks in advance! Arnis -----Original Message----- From: Grant Gongaware [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: mercredi, 7. juillet 2004 04:39 To: Slide Users Mailing List Subject: Re: Best Practice? Wiley, I have an elaborate WebFolder hack I could contribute to Slide (if there's a place for it) that involves creating Shortcut file (*.LNK) for any given destination. Using a shortcut on MS Office documents opens them directly and the normal save button overwrites directly back to the server. An example link might be: <a href="/linkMakingServlet/MyLink.lnk?dest=/slide/work/Report1.doc">Report1.do c</a> The user would be asked if they wanted to save or open "MyLink.lnk". If they save, they'll get a nice little icon on the desktop for later use, or if they open, MS Word will popup and begin its GET/LOCK/PROPFIND trickery. I wrote a pure Java class (based on some hex editing, voodoo, and an old Win95 C project)... But I have long hoped that there was a better solution. If anyone else out there has a better way, PLEASE SHARE! Otherwise, I'll contribute mine as it might be the only way to have a browser initiated direct edit in Windows with no plug-ins. -Grant Wiley Jacobs wrote: >I would like to have my web clients be able to check out a files from a web interface, then download the file, work on it and check it back in.
