It's a known bug, discussed previously on these forums. Grab a new version of the client from the nightly build server, or SVN.

Also see the wiki article on configuration: http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Microsoft_Office

As you're using v3.0, you may also be interested in our SharePoint protocol integration. Please see the wiki for more information.

Thanks,
Mike

Many thanks,

works now better in Excel and Powerpoint. I can now access the Alfresco-Server. But in Word 2003 there is now an alfresco-Button, but the behavior is the same as before in the office-plugin for alfresco 2.2 for Excel and Powerpoint. The popup refreshes and refreshes after opening, so i only can close the dialog.
additionaly i have a problem with the now better working plugin in Powerpoint and Excel. If i want to download a file from Alfresco or to upload a file to Alfresco an authentication popup appears, asking for login into the vti-server. Using user/password for alfresco-user doesn't work. I always get an authenticaion failure.
What can i do here?

regards
mcd

It sounds like there's been a regression bug introduced on the 3.0 Beta.

Please raise the issue in JIRA giving as many details as possible.

Many thanks,
