Advanced Basics: Office 2007 Files and LINQ

The last time I wrote this column (March 2006), I shared an application that allows you to update all the Microsoft® Word documents in a folder and its subfolders. Each time the application finds a document in the specified path, it updates the document properties to match those you specified in the application.

When opening a office 2007 file directly from a wss2.0 link, eg. http://sharepointsite/document.docx, I am prompted with the 'Open|Save|Cancel' dialog.

On selecting Open, the file does not open (as it does for an office 2003 file) but prompts me to Save the file.

When opening the file from the document library, it opens directly, just not through a direct link to the file.

Any solutions on how to open the file directly?

I have recently started testing Office 2010 and have found only 1 major issue - I cannot save any Office 2010 files opened from a SharePoint Server 2007 location.  Upon save I receive an error message saying "Upload Failed. This file wan not uploaded because the specified path was not found on the server." and the file is captured in the Microsoft Upload Center.  Using the Upload Center action 'Open Web Site' opens the site without problem; however, a all subsequent resolve actions fail.  Any ideas?

Environment:

  * MS Windows Server 2003 R2
  * MS SQL Server 2008 R2
  *Office SharePoint Server 2007
  *MS Office 2010 Premium

hi,

I created 2 document libraries, with a few fields in it, one of it is the people and group field named "Approver".  The thing is, when the document is of 97 - 2003 format, the approver field gets copied over fine, but when is of 2007 format, it does not get copied, its only the people and group column, I tried different names like Hidden_Approver, but yet it does not get copied. Am I doing something wrong here, and have anyone else faced the same error

Custom field types provide a powerful way to define a reusable SharePoint column definitions.
