We are using Office 2007 and WSS3.0 whenever I try to open a document from sharepoint I get the following error as shown in the image. Link to access the image: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/148/officesharepointerror.jpg/ I can upload documents to sharepoint but cannot edit them. I have repaired and reinstalled Office 2007 to no avail. I am not a Sharepoint admin so I cannot perform any administrative changes to the Sharepoint site. I have a contributor role to the Sharepoint site. Can anyone help?

Hi, Is this with any specific browser ? Please check this with different browser. And in IE check following settings Open Tools/Internet Options/Connections/LAN Settings and uncheck "Automatically Detect Settings" Please let us know if this is helpful or not.Regards, Pratik Vyas | SharePoint Consultant | http://sharepointpratik.blogspot.com/

No this is not related to any browser I have tried to open the document from IE6.0 and Firefox 3.6.13 without any success. Also I am able to modify any document from other shared folders.

Hi, Not exactly the same error we had here, but users were able to upload docs, but not edit. Re-ran the webfldrs.msi and it fixed the issue. If your error is affecting everyone, then this may not be your fix. Unable to edit Documents in SharePoint Error User get s the following error message “a problem occurred while connecting to the server” if the problem continues, contact your administrator Solution Well it worked today for Jo Mallett, when all the windows updates, profile rebuilds and office installs didn’t, and this fix took no more than about 1 minute to implement. It is not uncommon for the web folders / WebDAV support in Windows XP to just stop working for no apparent reason. You can usually reinstall the original Web Folders support by finding and executing webfldrs.msi with specific options. webfldrs.msi is probably in one of your system directories. It is easiest to search for it (remember to set advanced search options to include system and hidden folders). When you find the program (it’s a normal Microsoft install package) launch it, then do these steps: Click “Select Reinstall Mode” Uncheck “Repair all detected reinstall problems”. Check “Force all files to be reinstalled, regardless of checksum or version”. Check “Verify that required user registry entries are present”. Check “Verify that required machine registry entries are present”. Check “Validate shortcuts”. Press OK Click REINSTALL Normally no reboot is required. Now the web folder client should have been restored as it was shipped. If you previously installed Software Update for Web Folders (KB907306) from the Microsoft site, you may have to install it again. Mike Kind Regards Mike
