Bis priore septimana, my colleague and I were doing some work for a client in NYC. We were testing a different aspects of a MOSS implementation using their "standard" workstation extructione (ut opponitur ad laptops). While doing that, nos cucurrit in errores, ex his paucis gradibus:
- Open up an MS word document via windows explorer (which uses WebDAV).
- Make a change.
- Save it.
We came to realize that some times (usually the first time) we saved the document, the save didn’t "stick." Save did not save. We would pull that document back up and our changes simply were not there.
We didn’t understand the root issue at this point, but we figured that we should make sure that the latest MS Office service pack had been installed on that work station. The IT folks went and did that. We went through the test again and we discovered a new problem. When we saved it, we now got this error:
Hoc tempore, it seemed like every change was, in facto, saved, whether we answered Yes or No to the scripts question.
We finally had a look at the actual version of Office and it turns out that the workstation was running MS Office 2000 with service pack 3 which shows up under Help -> About as "Office 2002".
The moral of the story: I will always use Office 2003 as my minimum baseline office version when using WebDAV and MOSS.
