The users would obviously need some security and permissions set up in WSS.
You can use the Web SErvices or API to render HTML onto their existing Intranet web application. The URLs rendered for the documents when clicked will open up Word 2007 and check in/out and metadata can be handled from here. The problem is, if you want to upload a new document to a document library you really need to see the Document Library New page, which you could link straight through (url) or write your own add document page and use the API to submit it. It definately can be done, I'd be tempted to try and sell them towards using WSS and save all the pain of recreating an interface that is there for you already.

We have a client with an intranet (non MOSS) that lists Word documents. They’d like to integrate this with Office (ie just like SharePoint does ☺). They don’t want to install MOSS, but would be open to using WSS (since it can easily be installed on their server). One option is of course to move all their documents over to WSS and get them to use that, but they’d prefer never to see the WSS site. I’m wondering if there is a way that they could hook into the WSS services from their own intranet application and somehow pass through the requests to WSS. I imagine the documents would be stored in WSS and somehow linked to from their intranet. Has anyone done this before? The ideal user experience is that they click to edit a document on their intranet, and behind the scenes it uses WSS to manage the document opening in Word, and then any updates from Word getting saved back to WSS, and this in turn updated back to the intranet. WSS does all the document handling well, so I’m trying to save them re-writing all that nice Office integration stuff in their own app. Thanks, Craig [EMAIL PROTECTED] | www.craigbailey.net |+61 413 489 388 | twitter.com/craigbailey Don’t miss August de los Reyes at SBTUG this Wed<http://www.craigbailey.net/live/post/2008/09/14/SBTUG-Next-Wed-24-Sep-2008-ndash3b-August-de-los-Reyes-Mitch-Denny.aspx> ------------------------------------------------------------------- OzMOSS.com - to unsubscribe from this list, send a message back to the list with 'unsubscribe' as the subject.
