There is an undocumented activex control shipped with Office 2003 that can be used to open a document directly into office from a web page link to a webdav resource. It locks the document in the process. This is the control that SharePoint uses.

It means the results you are having would be the ones I would expect when opening a file from the IE, or opening them through an office application. Nevertheless, there is a workaround I managed to store for a (maybe) future use, that would transform an URL into a webfolders link. Found these snippets (as attachment) in the slide users mailing list, don't remember who delivered them, but all credits are due to him.

Currently I'm executing a script that opens a file in excel: <SCRIPT LANGUAGE=3DVBScript> Dim objExcel Sub Btn1_onclick() call OpenWorkbook("http://localhost:9090/webdav/path/file.xls/";) End Sub Sub OpenWorkbook(strLocation) Set objExcel =3D CreateObject("Excel.Application") objExcel.Visible =3D true objExcel.Workbooks.Open strLocation objExcel.UserControl =3D true End Sub </SCRIPT> However this does not execute the Lock and the file is opened as read only. Can anyone help? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
