Just a quote for your amuesment. This is taken from an email response from Microsoft where I have been asking about the WebDAV problems with Zope and Winword :-) """ Have you involved ZOPE in this issue because Windows 2000 and Windows ME is also affected by this issue? My opinion in this case is that the ZOPE server keeps the file locked after the Office component unlocks the file. We never had problems with IIS and locking. This is the case why I only believe that the server component is causing the problem! Please notice that the ZOPE is open source and therefore it is not guaranteed that it is RFC compliant!

since word is a (the most ??) important content creation tool for non programmers would it not be sensible to add a second WebDAV port that does nothing but handle the Word idiosyncrasies and the forwards things to the normal DAV port?
I would very much like to tell my customers that they do not need anything but word to maintain their content.
But still we'd first have to find out WHAT is going wrong, as Zope seems to comply with the standard and Word doesn't ...
I think all the software needed for a test can be got from Microsoft for a free testing period (some of them up to 120 days). Their most prominent example of a WebDAV server is the SharePoint Portal server. The MS Exchange repository also is WebDAV-enabled ...
I am sorry that I'll probably not be the one to do the tests because of time restrictions.
