Due to some recent changes and updates we have decided to give WebDAV a try on our local intranet site running IIS 6 on Win2k3r2 . All appears to be working. User pulls up a page they want to edit in IE8, clicks Edit with Microsoft Office Word, the site opens ready to edit using integrated authentication. The issue come when they attempt to link a file or another webpage.
For example:
they open http://intranet/work_instructions/machining/index.htm
They want to link a document located in ../assembly/newdoc.pdf
When they click create hyperlink the box that appears restricts navigation to higher directories in the file structure and down into another branch of the directory tree. Is there a way to tell WebDAV to always look at the website's root path eg http://intranet/ when it creates the temporary mount instead of http://intranet/work_instructions/machining/ ?
I've been racking my brains over this for a week now and I need some help as deadlines are coming closer and closer.
