Documents Opening As read Only (SharePoint)

melman bass posted at Wednesday, June 03, 2009 2:24 PM

Hello,

I have a few users now that with IE7 and office 03 they can only open files in "Read Only"

Now I have tried the registry fix - that did not work

I also tried the unregistering and registering the ossuppl.dll

-- Now this just started happening a few days ago ..ahh

In order to open files in Read/write mode you need to add the  sub key  OpenDocumentsReadWriteWhileBrowsing  to the registry.

Below are the steps to add the sub key into the registry:
Type regedit in the run command prompt
Locate and then click to select the following registry subkey: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\10.0\Common\Internet
On the Edit menu, point to New, and then click DWORD Value.
Type OpenDocumentsReadWriteWhileBrowsing, and then press ENTER.
Right-click OpenDocumentsReadWriteWhileBrowsing, and then click Modify.
In the Value data box, type 1, and then click OK.
This will solve the problem of documents opening in read only mode
