| | Problem with Vista/Office 2007 & SharePoint 2007 We have document library in a MOSS site which allows users to create new documents in it. User clicks on New option and it directly opens a Excel file. When users using Vista perform this operation, they receive repeatdly three login/password prompts. Clicking Cancel on the authentication dialog opens the document. This seems to be bad user experience. 1) Disabling the Web Client Service in Vista machine as suggested in some other posts solves the issue. But this is not recommended and we dont want to do this. 2) As suggested in http://blogs.msdn.com/sharepoint/arc...2007-site.aspx, placing Office 2007 applications in Windows XP SP2 compatibility mode also seems to resolve the issue. But it is very difficult to implement in all the client machines. Appreciate any help. |
