All documents open as Read Only in Office 2010 from SharePoint 2007
I have recently installed Office 2010 and now when I select "Edit in Microsoft Word" from a SharePoint document library, the document will only open as Read Only. I am running SharePoint 2007 SP1, I have admin rights to the workstation, server, sharepoint list and document. I have tried the registry entry " OpenDocumentsReadWriteWhileBrowsing = 1 " but that has made no difference. I have also run webfldrs.msi with no effect. The website is a trusted site and I have switched off all of the protected view options. Any help welcome!

I get the same problem. Works fine in Office 2007 machines with same domain account. Try opening a document from SharePoint 2007 on a machine with Office 2010 and it ALWAYS runs read-only. Even on a library with checkin/out - checked out files is readonly.. Its driving me batty. Any resolution anyone? .Net Developer

Hi Everyone, We are experiencing the same behavior using SharePoint 2007 (12.0.0.6514) on all Windows OS’s (XP, 7 “32/64 bit”) opening documents in Office 2010. This seems to have occurred after the most recent round of Microsoft patching I performed listed here: KB979687 KB979688 KB2442962 KB2207559 KB2207566 KB2296011 KN2296199 KB2305420 KB416400 KB2423089 KB2436673 KB982132 KB2387149 KB973400 KB2345212 KB2433089 Do you see any overlapping patches that may be result fo a patching sequence you did that could have resulted in tjis behavior? -CoryManager of Technology Services - Indiana University Student Enrollment Services

None of the Read-Only symptoms continue. I will test the old 2007 environment and determine what may have caused our Read-Only issues and get back to everyone. -Cory

Try changing the Browser File Handling under web application settings from Strict to Permissive. Fixed the problem for me.
