How do I set up my weboffice in My Network places? I have a new laptop with Vista and cannot work out how I did this on my old laptop. It means I can view my documents via the network link on my pc, not have to check out documents via the weboffice website. Any ideas gratefully received! Thanks |

| Sorry I was not able to respond sooner, I was on vacation last week. There is a known issue with Vista and setting up WebFolders to access your files in your WebOffice document library, namely that MSFT did not include support for web folders in the initial release of the Vista OS. We reported the issue to them soon after Vista shipped and we discovered it, but it was not addressed in the recent service pack 1 as we were hoping it would be. For now, this is a limitation of the operating system and we have repeated our requests for MSFT to address this in the next service pack. Other OS's (e.g. XP) work fine. |
