@Kelly.

The images you download have the gifs in subfolders. Make sure to move them out into the root of \images.

Also not sure why there where a bunch of different versions of the icon in there. I suppose this was just an icon pack of some kind.

Worked great after I figured that out ;)

thanks

I've done this but now when I click 'browse...' to upload any file, IE crashes. It does this as soon as I click on the button. I followed the instructions to the letter and have double-checked all the MIME types and xml files are correct. I've also restarted IIS twice.

Has anyone else experienced this?

does everything else now work? If so, then there is a problem reading the gif file. 1st check that it has permissions that means that the IIS account can read the file and also check that it is not in a subdirectory or anything simple like that.

If you do the same search via google. com, you get search results, but no line score. You can get the score via a PC by using google. com/ m. I don’ t know what it does if a game is in progress, but for that I like the MLB site better anyway, as it has

Thanks for an excellent article David. It worked on my first try, and we finally have our Office 2007 users able to edit and save to our Sharepoint site on SBS 2003.

One side note: I actually prefer the read-only functionaiity when clicking on Sharepoint document. We can always edit by clicking the local menu on the document name and choosing "Edit in Microsoft Word" (or other associated Office program).

David - huge thanks for this article, saved me mucho time drawing together all the relevant bits of information myself! All I'd add to the above is:-

1. When the article refers to copying files to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\60, do this on the server - not the client's workstations experiencing the issue.

2. Make sure to copy the relevant .gif files from one of the folders (gif-dark, gif-light) into C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\60\TEMPLATE\IMAGES\ to make sure 2007 (.docx, .xlsx, etc) files show a correct icon within companyweb.

3. Also, stop/restart IISAdmin on the server after these changes to make them "stick".

Keep up the great work David, really appreciate articles like this!

Cheers,

Ric.

You said "You can also set Group Policy on the server to set this key too (just remember to change the 11 to a 12 if reading the KB article).

reg add HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Common\Internet /v OpenDocumentsReadWriteWhileBrowsing /t REG_DWORD /d 01

My question is how? Thanksin advance.

Kelly,

It is also worth stopping and starting IIS Admin to be sure.

thanks

Still won't display the .xlsx but now instead of getting the default ms icon (icgen.gif?) I get a missing file icon with a Red X that says ICON.

It's looking for companyweb/.../xlsx.gif

I verified that xlsx.gif is in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\60\TEMPLATE\IMAGES

still not displaying the excel 2007 icon, even though it's there and I can manually double click on it and it displays.

help?

Thanks!

Hi David, I have one workstation that can open documents from company web in explorer, but if you try to save back or open a document from within word it cannot open the companyweb folders. It is workstation related as the same user has no problem from any other machine. I have reloaded office from scratch with no joy. I set a drive mapping to general docs as a work around but that can make word crash sometimes on this machine.

BTW:- any way to stop repeated mails on the sbs pop3 connector if an external person sends to one or more internal recipients?

Any Ideas?

Right, the fix is as follows: To make Office 2007 files read/write you need to run the following command from an elevated cmd prompt:

reg add HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Common\Internet /v OpenDocumentsReadWriteWhileBrowsing /t REG_DWORD /d 01

that is it.

thanks

I have an Sharepoint 2003 Server and I'm using a client thats running Windows XP SP2, IE7, and Office 2007. The above configurations work for getting Sharepoint to recognize the new Office 2007 file types, but all of the documents open as Read-Only and will not allow me to edit the file I have open. Any idea on how to fix this??

Rich — Thu, 02 Aug 2007 18:43:59 GMT

David,

I just encountered a similar issue that maybe you can help me with because Microsoft Support doesn't seem to know how to fix it. I just installed SBS 2K3 R2 for a client and they have Office 2007 on all clients. I noticed none of the documents in Companyweb have the proper icons. I did as you suggested above and now icons show up for Office 2007 docs but not for Office 2003 compatible docs. What should I do?

Thank you for great info above.

Actually Lee is right. After I did the procedure mentioned above I received the same message whenever I tried to edit an Office document from the Companyweb. I found out the solution I gave doesn't work anymore nor does it work when using SharePoint Version 3. The solution that does work now is to add the companyweb to the Trusted Websites in Internet Explorer.

Lee,

In order to get the download prompt to go away you need to go to Windows Explorer, click Tools, Folder Options, and then click the File Types tab. Click the extension .docx and click the Advanced button. Uncheck the box "Confirm open after download". You need to follow these steps for each Office extension such as .doc, .xls, .ppt, etc. to make sure you don't the prompt for other Office files as well. Hope that helps!
