Ensure you are using the latest 2.4.X or 2.5.X version of Zope. They contain workarounds for some related problems with WebDAV and Office (Office 2K should work). Some people reported similiar problems with Office 2002. As these problems are caused by a non-standard WebDAV implementation it is very hard to solve this particular problem.

Hi all I have made some tests with webfolder (win2k and officeXP), perhaps anyone can understand the results...If I open a word doc in a webfolder, I must wait 30-40 minutes before I can reopen it in write-mode. But if I have two web-folder, A and B, that point to the same Zope Folder with the document d.doc, and I open/modify/close d.doc from A, then, if I reopen d.doc from A, it is read-only, but if I open d.doc from B, it is in write-mode. After 10 minutes, if I reopen d.doc from A, it is in write-mode and so on... This is very strange for me. Michele
