Mihir, The answer is No as far as I can tell. I will bet you are using Office 2000 SR1 or greater, and if you are then you are out of luck. This post from Microsoft's site details their decision to discontinue support of the feature you (and I) both want. Not sure why but note the "This behavior is by design" comment. (Apparently this worked prior to SR1) http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;308138 <http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;308138> I have been trying to arrive at a work around to this issue. Right now I am thinking of incorporating the Microsoft specific "behavior" CSS attribute/directive on document links, that instead of opening the document within word based on the .doc extension or MIME-type information like application/word, will instead open (within IE) the web folder/network place where the document exists. Opening the document from here allows for Saving back to the WebDAV server (as if the user had opened the document by navigating themselves to the network place). Something like: <a href="http://localhost:8080/slide/files/word1.doc";; folder="http://localhost:8080/slide/files/word1.doc";; style="behavior: url(#default#AnchorClick)">Word Doc</a> If anyone knows more about using the Microsoft behavior style directives, please speak up. (What is the best way to expose the href and folder values in the href?) My next hurdle, is to some how figure out how to only expose only one document in the folder location from the href link. I don't want users to have to hunt and peck for the specific document they need to open. Jonathan

I have also setup the Network place for it. Now through network place when I am opening say any word document (assume that the document exist under "files" folder of slide) it is opening in edit mode in MS Word. I can edit the contents of this document and also able to save changes to the server. But when I am opening the slide website in IE and opening the same document it is Opening in MS Word properly but not allowing me to save any modifications to that document. Can anybody please tell me that is there any way to open the document in edit mode Using the IE Thanks & Regards, Mihir Senior Software Engineer SBU: eBiz Location:Gandhinagar Ph: 079 232 40905 EXT: 413 Patni Computer Systems Limited
