Hi Thomas! Just some hints! I use the following DTML Method named "webfolder" in the Zope root: <HTML> <HEAD> <TITLE><!--#var title_or_id--></TITLE> <STYLE> .httpFolder {behavior: url(#default#httpFolder);} </STYLE> <SCRIPT> function init(){ oDAV.navigateFrame("<!--#var absolute_url-->","_self"); } </SCRIPT> <BODY ONLOAD="init()"> <DIV ID = "oDAV" CLASS = "httpFolder" > </BODY> </HTML> If implemented you can simply open a folder as webdav-folder in IE by linking to the URL and appending the string "webfolder" (example: http://zope-host:8080/A/B/webfolder opens folder B as webdav-folder in IE). I still haven't found the mystical link to open a document directly via webdav. I use Win- and Office-XP as Clients. Does XP really map webdav to UNC names? Juergen --On Freitag, 19.

Hi!
Is there a way to open a MSWord document via webdav from a link?
It is unfortunately too difficult for most people to download the document from zope to a local directory, change it, and upload it again.
Since Zope supports WebDAV it should be possible to open it via webdav by following a link (<a href="magic"/>)
But what does "magic" need to look like?
If I use magic=="http://zope-host:8080/foo.doc"
"WebFolder" don't show up at drive letters. At least I didn't get it working. Since I need it for an intranet application it would be possible "mount" the webdav from zope to e.g. "z:" on all clients. Then a link to file:///Z|... should work. I heard that only Windows-XP is able to map webdav to UNC-Names
