Document Connection - Authentication Fails

[rgryry]

Is there a work-around using the web?  I can view via the web, but
when I attempt to edit a doc, it launches Document Connection and I
get the authentication error.

the work around for now is to download it from the web to your desktop
and make any edits necessary and then just re-upload it over the old
file

I can confirm this works - it's a real pain in the neck, but it does work.

Yep: That's the one... Go back to the old way of doing things.

Version: 2008 Operating System: Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) Processor:
Intel March 12th after an office update my authentication failed on
logging into my workspace at Live. My coworkers all have the same
experience. We can log in the web version but not the Document
Connection Version.

Those in the "know" I appreciate you in advance.

Yes!!! It looks like it's working again ... or is this only temporary?

I've certainly managed to get in from two Macs - one in the office and
one at home!

I didn't realise how much we used it until we had to go round the web route!

Thanks to all that returned this vital function

There was a Server Update overnight USA Pacific Time that resolved the
issue. This fix is permanent
