When you open it with IE you are NOT using WebDAV, you are just doing an HTTP get of the file, no different really than from any other HTTP server. To use WebDAV you need to open it from a Web Folder (Technically you could do it from the File->Open in Word....but I digress).

To do that you go to your "Network Places", then "Add New Network Place" and put in the URL you were using to the Slide folder where your document is.

After you authenticate you will be able to use Microsoft Office products to open then with WebDAV and save your changes back. The document will be locked while you have it open and will be unlocked when you close it.

Hi,

Excuse me if this question isn't 100% slide related, but perhaps someone
can give me some help.

I'm trying to use slide and webdav to access documents through a browser
(specifically Internet Explorer 5 +, although I haven't had much luck
using Konqueror either).  The problem is, is that when I click on a link
to retrieve an MS Office document, the correct application is opened but
the MS Office application is editing a temporary file (e.g.
/tmp/MyDoc.doc) instead of a webdav url
(https://slide.mydomain.org/myDocs/MyDoc.doc).  That means that you can
view and edit the document, but when you save it it is simply saved in
the local file system instead of being sent back to the server.
Ideally I would like to click on the link, edit the document in the
proper application and then save it directly back to the server.

Is there any way to get this to work?  Perhaps by sending some kind of
special information in the header?  Or is there some way to configure
Windoze to handle things differently?

Thanks for any help anyone can give me,

Eric
