Open document from SharePoint document library

Question

Hi,

I have a SharePoint 2007 portal, that contains several document libraries. Whenever I open a document from a document library, Word 2007 requests me for my credentials, although I'm already logged in the portal.

Does anybody know how to set up Word 2007 to accept the existing credentials from SharePoint 2007?

Regards, Voicu.

Answer 1

I've found this while googling for a solution:

1) In Internet Explorer 8, click Tools and the click Internet Options. 2) In the Internet Options window, switch to Security tab, click “Trusted sites” and click Sites. 3) Add the URL of this site and your domain name and close the Trusted sites window. 4) Go back to Internet Options, select “Trusted sites” and click “Custom Level”. 5) In the new-opened window, under “User Authentication - Logon”, please select “Automatic logon with current user name and password” and click OK to apply this setting. 6) Then click OK to apply all the settings and close Internet Explorer. 7) Try again to see if the prompt still appears.

And it works!

Hope it helps somebody.
