Opening Hyperlinked Microsoft Office Documents Stored in WebDAV Server
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.
