It can be done legitimately through the means of a group policy - I have seen this question come up in the past, but I can't remember exactly how its solved via group policy. I'd be looking at the other option though if I were you, which would be to change the document library's default action link to be one of edit, rather than view.

As for the Registry hack, I would assume that this would need to be done on all workstations (running office 2003). I'm not sure if I want to push out a reg entry to all workstation, but thank you for the input.

Or could it be that the documents in question are .docx ? maybe that is the problem? From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Andrew Solano Sent: Wednesday, 20 August 2008 11:02 AM To: listserver@ozmoss.com Subject: [OzMOSS] Open Documents using Word 2003 Hi OzMOSS, I currently have an issue opening Word documents, that reside on a MOSS 2007 Document Library, using Office 2003. When a user that has Office 2003 installed on their workstation attempts to view a word document in the MOSS 2007 Document Library, the following happen. * The file is open in Internet Explorer (you have to click the back button to view the MOSS 2007 site) * Microsoft Word 2003 is also opened but does not contain any files (an empty shell) * If Office 2003 is open and your in the process of creating an e-mail, the word document attempts to open in the new e-mail window. NOTE: opening the same document using Office 2007 works fine (the document is opened in MS Word 2007, and the MOSS site remains in Internet Explorer. Is there any thing we need to do on the MOSS server, considering the fact that most of our users will have Office 2003 installed.
