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

  need to add the sub key OpenDocumentsReadWriteWhileBrowsing to the registry

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