I have a DAV server (Oracle Portal in this case). If I open word and then enter the DAV URL of a document, I'm correctly prompted for username/password and the document is checked out. I can edit it and just click Save to save it back to the server. So far, so good.
What I need is a link on a web page that will open the document for editing in Word. If I just use the same URL as I use in the File Open dialog in Word, I get a read-only copy, and the File Save dialog suggests to save it locally.
Is there a way to open a document for DAV editing directly from a hyperlink?
