    WebDAV and Navigation issues in Microsoft Word

    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.

    Hi,

    jadewolf:
    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.

    As far as I know, we can't change the dialog box’s default behave. But we can manually click the dropdown list button, choose a higher directory navigate to, then down into another sub folder of the current folder.

    If I misunderstood your problem, please let me know.
