Sharepoint and Word 2003

[sclayton]

I have installed Alfresco Labs 3 (Alfresco and share) and i can connect to them both via a browser and can create spaces and documents with no problems.  I am now trying to access alfresco using Word 2003 and sharepoint protocol but whenever i try to Open alfresco from File->Open all i get it a copy of the Alfresco home page instead of the "Shared Workspace" login box.  The url i am trying to open is http://myalfrescoserver:8080/alfresco.

If i try to create a new workspace by using Word Tools->Shared Workspace i get the following error:

"The action could not be completed. For more information, contact your site administrator, or try again later"

I have checked on my alfresco server and vti-module.amp resides in /opt/Alfresco/amps - what could be wrong?

I'm getting the same problem as you, not sure how you enabled the logging to get this information, for the record word 2007 produces the same problem.

Hi I have install vti amp file on my ALfresco3.0 server,It works fine but some time I am getting following error

ERROR:vti.mehtod.AbsractVtiMethod uncheckout document.The provided url  is invalid

I've finally got to the bottom of the issues with being unable to access documents in Alfresco straight from MS Word.  This came down to our network proxy getting in the way.  All I did was change Internet Explorers Internet Options (Connection Settings) to bypass the proxy for local IP addresses.

Is this or can this be added to the installation documentation of made sticky in the forum so that others don't get stuck?

I finally got this working with a fresh install and then installing the vti module, however I cannot check in new documents via the sharepoint protocol as an administrator but I can update documents that have been previously checked in via the web interface.

Maybe I'm doing something wrong…. has anyone else gotten this to work?
