I find it difficult to believe that there is not a shred of info I can find
over 6 years regarding opening, editing and saving files via IE.
I have found proof that it *is how Microsoft designed* IE. But whenever
anybody has had a problem, they have been met with silence. Over 6 years.
Again, what I am asking is a very fundamental question!
I wish to access, edit and save Word etc docs via IE.
PCs appear to be setup identically but what works on XP seems to not work,
or has stopped working, on Win98.
I can open the documents, but cannot save to the same path - instead I am
prompted to save to the default Word save directory, with Filename of "Word
Document in Internet Explorer".
If you try saving as the original name, Word tells you it can't do it as the
file is already open.
Other programs give similar problems - Excel remembers the name but not the
Path.
The problem seems to be realated to the MIME definitions that Windows uses.
Supposedly 'open in separate window' should create an instance of Word and
pass on the filename etc. But this happens sometimes, not on others.
I have spent 5 days of my life on this issue, exclusively - on something
which appears to be a bug in Windows / Mime. Not my fault.
So is there *anybody* - esp Microsoft - out there who can help?
