Unable to open word doc from Webfolder (Newsgroup-support bought from Microsoft)

We have payed for the newsgroup-support from Microsoft and demand an answer
to this question.


Hi!

We have encountered a problem when trying to open word-documents from a
webfolder.
If we open the document when linked from a web page there is no problem.

The problem generates the following message in word:

Cant find the file...
(C:\Documents and settings\Username\Local)
[OK]

Wrong document name or path...
(Settings\Temporary)
[OK]

Cant find the file...
(Internet)
[OK]

Wrong document name or path...
(Files\Content.MSO\f4bc3.doc)
[OK]

The problem is the path to Temporary Internet Files.
If I change the path to H:\Temp\Temporary Internet Files (for the current
profile) the .doc can be opened.

If the path to the folder "Temporary Internet Files" contains any blanks
(spaces) the problem occurs! (only for word-documents opened from a
webfolder though)

Does anyone know what this might be related to? Could there be some kind
of policy setting that prevents word from reading document paths with
blanks in the folder names? Bug fix, regvalue, policy setting etc?

Regards
Marcus Torstensson

When you paid for support they gave you some private newsgroups to post to
using a newsreader like Outlook Express. This newsgroup is staffed by
volunteers who do not work for Microsoft. Demanding anything won't help you
at all.

I am not clear whether you have the problem while accessing the file from
the Web or when accessing it with Word from a document saved on your hard
drive.

Hello,

I understand how inconvenience you have encountered and posted it for
several times. I am wondering whether or not you have read my reply?

As I have stated before, this issue is related to either IE or Word. If it
is an urgent issue, please contact Microsoft Product Support Services via
telephone so that a dedicated Support Professional can assist with your
request. Please be advised that contacting phone support will be a charged
call.

To obtain the phone numbers for specific technology request please take a
look at the web site listed below.

<http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=fh;EN-US;PHONENUMBERS>

If you are outside the US please see http://support.microsoft.com for
regional support phone numbers.

In addition, if you are our reigstered partner, you can post it to the
microsoft.private.ie newsgroup as Frank has stated.

In order to isolate this issue, please gather the following information.
This information help us narrow down the issue is related to all clients or
only one problematic machine. Without the necessary information, it is hard
for us to find out the root cause. Thank you for your understanding.

1. What is the webfolder you are using, is it developed by third-party for
LAN use purpose or it is a Internet website? If it is an Internet website,
please provide the link to reproduce this issue.

2. What is the result if you logon on as a new user with administrative
privilege? This step isolate to see if it is related to the user profile.

3. Does this issue only occur on one computer or all clients?If it occurs
on all clients, we will focus on some global settings, otherwise, we will
focus on the problematic one.

As far as I know, I have not found the GPO related to the Word though I am
not a Word expert.

As you have mentioned, this issue disappears if you change the temporarily
folder to H:\, one possibility is the IE temporarily folder. If this is the
case, this issue should not occur in a new user profile and you can use the
following steps to clear IE:
