You may be able to configure the DAV server to use shareable instead of excusive locks. In theory then they can all open the file writable if need be. Running options on the server will tell you which mode its running in currently. You can configure shared locks in Domain.xml I think.

Excel shows this error : " The file may be read-only or you may be trying to access a read only location. Or, the server the document is stored on may not be responding " It seems that excel wants to write something in the xls file each time a user opens a xls, because if all the users have only read access to the file, they all can open the file (read only). Did anybody already have this problem and found a workaround ? (excel settings, or something else ?) I don't want users to make a local copy of the file each time they want to open it.
