Their second complaint is that users can't attach a Zope-served document to an email from within MS Outlook. I've tried everything I can think of, but Outlook appears to be brain-damaged. It seems to me that it can only understand "drive letters," not even the so-called WebDAV Folders that MS uses. By "drive letters," it seems to mean UNC mapped SMB shares. Has anyone done any work with making the ZODB speak SMB? I'd really like to stay with the ZODB for storage, because the way ZEO works is one of my biggest selling points for Zope. If I have to go to FileStorage to use Samba, and arrange for scheduled replication over the VPN, I'd be in no better shape than SharePoint, and we'd lose that near real-time thing that everyone seems to love. So, can anyone tell me how to get Zope to serve something that Outlook can understand?
WebDrive will allow you to map a real drive letter to a WebDAV server. You can use this to allow attachments of Zope documents to email. (www.webdrive.com) -- Joel BURTON | joel@joelburton.com | joelburton.com | aim: wjoelburton Independent Knowledge Management Consultant
