This is a long outstanding problem due to some incompatiblities with WebDAV. Blame M$ or google the zope@zope.org list archive. I posted an explanation on these issues about two years ago. No fixes, no workarounds... -aj --On Donnerstag, 16. September 2004 15:49 Uhr -0700 Dirksen <dirksen_lau@yahoo.com> wrote:

Hi,

I want to open and edit a file (living on Zope) in Excel through WedDAV. But the problem is whenever I open the file, it's always marked as read-only, even though I'm logging in as the manager role (I use http://username:password@hostname/file as the open link). I test this in the OpenOffice Spreadsheet as well, and the result is the same: it opens it as read-only through WebDAV. My zope is Zope 2.6.4. Anyone has an idea how to solve this problem?

Thanks Dirksen
