If you place a hyperlink to Microsoft Office document on a webpage the Office
application will open the file as red-only. This is a default Microsoft Office
behavior. To open a Microsoft Office document as read-write use one of the
following workarounds:
- Add OpenDocumentsReadWriteWhileBrowsing DWORD Value on a client
machine under the
key
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\<version>\Common\Internet.
Set the Value data to 1.
- Use SharePoint.OpenDocuments ActiveX in a client JavaScript:
See
OpenDocuments Control about
how to use it at Microsoft website.
The SharePoint.OpenDocuments ActiveX is
located in OWSSUPP.DLL and installed with Microsoft Office 2007.
Note that Microsoft Office requires Class 2 WebDAV server.
