Hi all, What is the current status with the problem whereby one can't edit existing zope 'files' in MS Word? IE they come up as read-only. I read somewhere that this is related the level of webdav locking that Office 2000 expects. (is this true). I am using zope 2.3.3, but a first glance at zope 2.4.1 and the problem doesn't seem to have gone away. Does anybody know what I should do to get around this? Did any of you guys who posted about this before ever get any satisfactory workarounds? PLease Help, Thanks, Joe.

MS Word (tested with Office 2K) should work with Zope 2.4.X. We made some workarounds in Zope to support Office 2K. The problem is that the Webdav implementation of Office 2K is worse. One general rule when working with Office 2K and Zope: avoid filenames that don't contain a dot (use index.html instead of index_html). Sorry, but blame Microsoft for their s*cking software.

I love Zope but this is annoying me: I install the basic zope 2.4.1 -> untar Zope-2.4.1-linux2-x86.tgz, run install and run start. I open index_html (in the root dir) in MSWord (as the initial user - admin) it says read-only. Am I doing something silly? Has anyone else experienced this? Joe. PS Running Mandrake Linux.

I can't reproduce the problem at this time because my Window ME refuses to work with any other webdav servers. The problem with 'index_html' is that Office 2K tries to acquire a lock for 'index_html.' (yes, index_html plus a dot) and then it seems to be confused about the answers it gets from Zope.
