Hello Nick, Maybe you are... have you installed XP service pack 2, or, do you have a popup blocker active?
I tried to use that snipped to access a file in a slide repository and it constantly opened it in 'http mode' instead of 'webdav mode'. An 'http mode' symptom is having your word document opened inside IE. I temporarily disabled the built-in popup blocker of sp2 (allowing for active content) and the response is as I expect: a web folder interface window 'pops-up' in the designated folder showing all files and directories currently available. If you double click the word document, then you can open the document in 'davmode' and update it in the server by clicking save :) Best regards, Miguel -----Original Message----- From: Nick Longinow [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: quinta-feira, 23 de Setembro de 2004 15:09 To: 'Slide Users Mailing List' Subject: RE: Simple question on opening a file (via webdav) for editing Thanks Miguel, this succeeds in opening the file in Word, and invokes authentication (username/pwd prompted). But, when I change the document in Word, its not updated in the Slide repository. Am I missing something ?

You can open a document in edit mode, and then upload it to server, when performing save within webdav enabled editors. Examples include Microsoft Office, OpenOffice.org and the Acrobate Writer, if I remember correctly. If you wanted to open every kind of documents (for example an autocad drawing, not just word documents) in edit mode AND upload changes directly to the server, one solution is making your own web folder client or and 'Windows Explorer' twin, witch is what my company team is working on nowadays. Other possible solutions are, like Oliver said, netdrive or similar products. Best regards, Miguel _______ Hi Nick! If you are on Windows either mount Slide as described in http://jakarta.apache.org/slide/xp.html or use a product like NetDrive from Novell which can even map it to a drive letter. If you are on Mac have a look at http://jakarta.apache.org/slide/osx.html. Be sure to adapt the web.xml in this case as suggested in http://jakarta.apache.org/slide/faq.html Oliver Nick Longinow wrote: > Hi, > > > > I am just getting started with Slide, and have wrestled all day with this > one. > > Maybe you can hel p ? > > > > I have created a document collection and added (put) a document into slide > > via java webdav client.
