How to open sharepoint files in edit mode using associated link?

Hi All,
We are trying to use the URL links available through SSM to open documents we hold on SharePoint. These will be the action plans for the risks we are entering as KPIs. The aim is to established a one-to-one link between the risk KPI and the risk action plan as this is a fundamental reason behind using SSM for Risk.
However, when we enter the SharePoint URL into the SSM admin screen, clicking the link from SSM UI opens up the file as an internet explorer page which can not be edited and saved back to SharePoint. We did find a way to get through My Network Places to over write the file, but this only works if you have previously opened and edited and saved the file from SharePoint and requires lots of navigation by the user and is therefore not an appropriate solution.
Is there any way we this can be achieve? Appreciate your replies. Thanks in advance.
Regards,
David

Hi Bob,
Thanks for your reply. What I meant was when we put the UNC into SSM as a link in the URL box, SSM does not use the address it is given, instead it adds a http:// back in front and once again fails when opening the file in sharepoint.
For example:
SharePoint folder view used in test:
http://wccportal/resources/performance/risk/Risk%20Action%20Plans/Forms/AllItems.aspx?RootFolder=%2fresources%2fperformance%2frisk%2fRisk%20Action%20Plans%2fDOR&FolderCTID=&View=%7b84123F22%2d74F2%2d41B9%2d918C%2dFF23DAE35EB3%7d
Excel UNC link to folder
wccportal\resources\performance\risk\riskactionplans\DOR
SSM UNC Link - SSM changes the address to include http:// and also removes other \ breaks and adds in numbers and symbols.
Is there a way to stop SSM converting the local address back into a web address?
Thanks,
David

SharePoint 2010 and PowerPoint 2010: Open PPTX File in Edit Mode and Open PPSX in in Slide Show Mode

I have the following issue while opening PowerPoint PPTX file and PPSX from the Document ID link provided by SharePoint 2010.
Issue
Initially when I opened PPTX file from the DOC ID link from SharePoint 2010, it is opening up in Slide Show mode which is not how we want it to be.
For PPSX, it is opening in Slide Show mode which is what we wanted.
Thus, I did some research online and found this article at support.microsoft.com/kb/q299824 which requires some modification to the Registry of the client machine.
I did the change as follows
Open Registry
Look for “Computer\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\PowerPoint.Show.12”
Set BrowserFlags value to a
After the change, PPTX is opening in Edit Mode in PowerPoint which is correct but PPSX is also opening in Edit Mode in PowerPoint which is not correct
This issue only occurs if I open the document from the Doc ID link in SharePoint. If the documents are downloaded, it will not have this issue.
Questions
Can I set PPTX to open in Edit Mode and PPSX to open in Browser Mode?
Is this fixed as in if I change the registry setting it will affect both file types?
Is there other ways I can achieve opening PPTX in Edit and PPSX in Browser Mode?
[Environment]
My Client machine is running on I.E 9 and Office 2010.
Thank you.

Hi,
To make the PPTX file open in Edit mode and PPSX file open in Slide Show mode, I recommend to edit the registry key HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\PowerPoint.Show.12 to 8.
I tested the scenario in my environment with changing the key value to 8, after that PPTX file opened in Edit mode and PPSX file opened in Slide Show mode.
Best regards.
Thanks

Cannot open VI file in edit mode.

I cannot open a VI project that I was working on. Every time I try to open the file it gives me a message that "not enough memory to complete this operation".
This is a large project and I need to be able to access the block diagram.
This happens when I try to open it in edit mode.
Thanks.

Minguccio,
I've done some poking around and may have found some useful information. This error will ocurr if you have too many (and I mean a ton) of controls on the front panel. I haven't heard of this error since LabVIEW 5.1 though and we've upgraded the number of controls you can have on your front panel since then. However, try deleting some controls from your front panel to see if this helps out.
My investigation also lead me to tcp errors. Are you using tcp\ip anywhere in your programming? I found this discussion that may help out if that's the case.
Let us know what you find.

How to open a file located at server using JSP

hi,
i would like to open a file located at server as it is. I mean to say, if it a MS Word file, i wanna open it in MS Word, if it an Excel file, i wanna open it in Excel. i know the location (path) of the file. Can someone help me please.
Thanx

The best way would simply be to HREF it.
ie<a href="excelfiles/spreadsheet.xls">Open spreadsheet</a>When a user then clicks on that lick in their browser they should be given the option to either download or (if they have the appropriate program, in this case MS Excel, installed) open it.
This works best if the client is using a version of Internet Explorer (if you're dealing with MS files), but any browser should potentially offer you the option of opening the file.
Beyond that there's no way to specifically open a program on a client machine (it'd be a bit of a security loophole if you could! - Imagine a JSP page being able to open FDISK...). All you can do is pass the file (via the HREF) and let the client decide what to do with it.

How to open a file in the finder using only the keyboard?

Hello,
I use the arrow keys a lot in the finder (I do a lot of renaming) but I can't find a way to open a document with the keyboard. Only the mouse double-click seems to work.
Anyone knows a shortcut?
Thanks

Hi k.panic,
Thanks for that one. I had not used that shortcut before.
Guess I could do more reading. There's a lot to learn.

Open Sharepoint File Launches application to Open Dialog

We are experiencing the following behavior on one machine in our group. The environment is SharePoint Online 2013, with libraries synchronized to the user PC. User PC is Windows 8.1 with Office 2013.
When you double-click a SharePoint file to open it, it launches the appropriate Office program, but it launches to the "Open" dialog (open local file, use a template, etc.)
If you close the program (Word, Excel, Visio, etc.) and double-click the file again to open it, it typically opens properly. On some occasions, it behaves as described above again.
Once the file is successfully opened, it opens properly from there forward.
When the file is actually opening, the splash screen indicates it is "downloading" the file, and there is a delay. The file is actually synchronized and has a local copy.
If you open a true local copy of any MS file format (not in a synchronized folder), the files open properly.
I suspect this is an issue with the office document cache or something, but I find no fix for this behavior.

Open file in edit mode

I need to open a file in edit mode. In my web part on item click I need to do some action before hand (like create a folder and copy file, then open it in edit mode).
I came across the code segment below to set to a hyperlink's onClick() event
<a onfocus="OnLink(this)" href="/Shared Documents/myDoc.docx" onmousedown="return VerifyHref(this,event,'1','SharePoint.OpenDocuments','')" onclick="return DispEx(this,event,'TRUE','FALSE','FALSE', 'SharePoint.OpenDocuments.3','1', 'SharePoint.OpenDocuments', '','','','1','0','0','0x7fffffffffffffff')">Click</a>
But in my case, it would be nice if I can open in C# code behind, after the folder operations in my Visual web part.
SPfile's file.OpenBinary() give a byte[], but was unable to open file.
I am using a LinkButton for the user to click on. Any advise ?

Hi Ahamed,
I guess you need to undertake some action server side before you redirect the user. There are a number of different ways to do it ... maybe using a long running process with redirect at the end ... or some jQuery that calls a "handler" waits for a response
and then redirects the user.
For the code to duplicate or copy the file see here:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.sharepoint.spfile.aspx
if the existing code you have to open the document in edit mode works you should be able to reuse it.
Thanks Chris

Iphone contacts - I have a contacts back up file with me in .VCF mode, how could I get those contacts sync with my new iphone (as I lost my iphone a week back), or esle at least how to open .VCF file.

Hi I lost my iphone 4 a week back, but I have the contacts back up. now I bought new phone.
so tell me how could I import all my contacts to new phone, or esle at lease how to open .VCF file in excel. or outlook

You should be syncing your contacts with an app on your computer or cloud service (iCloud, Gmail, Yahoo, etc), and not relying on a backup. If you haven't been doing this, start now and then restore your old backup. You will then be able to sync the new contacts back into the phone. However, you will lose all messages, etc newer thant the backup.

Opening a file with FILE_SHARE_DELETE mode (Only on Windows)

Hi,
We have an application that imports logs from several 3rd party vendor's applications. Basically what we do is import the logs in real time, i.e we do have a live FileInputstream connection to the log file. Now, when the 3rd party applications that rotate these logs (many of them do when they grow big or scheduled periodically), all unix flavors dont see to have any problem, while the windows does complain that the device or resource is busy and the original application is not allowed to rotate it. When i dug into the native code of windows jvm, i found that the file is not opened in the FILE_SHARE_DELETE mode and only with FILE_SHARE_READ and FILE_SHARE_WRITE modes. When we wrote a separate C++ application the opens a file with FILE_SHARE_DELETE mode, we found that the logs are rotatable.
Now, how can we instruct the JVM to open a file with FILE_SHARE_DELETE mode? Is there any such implementation already or do i have to come up with another class extending the FileInputStream and use a totally different open method where the file is opened with this mode in the native code?
Thanks
Manava

Hello,
I think you can write :
Runtime.getRuntime().exec("start.exe " + MyFileDialog.getDirectory() + MyFileDialog.getFile());
So, "start.exe" choose the application (not valid for NT machine), ".getDirectory()" return the PATH and ".getFile()" return the NAME.

In the Connect to Server dialog you will see Database Enghine, Analaysis Servie on so on and you go head change Server type to

How to open .dll files?

I'm not sure I have the correct forum, but I thought I'd try here.
I have .dll files I want to look at. I am unable to open them in any type of readable format. When I double click on them they open in Text Edit and jumbled up. I tried to open them in Preview and that didn't work either.
Can someone guide me on how to open these files? OR if this is the wrong board, let me know and I'll post some place else.
Thanks,
Ginger

No. A Windows DLL file is a library of machine code meant to be loaded by a piece of software. It's unreadable by humans. An experienced developer may be able to decompile the library into x86 assembly language.
DICOM is an image format used for storing medical image data (such as MRIs, CAT scans, etc.). Many packages that work with DICOM packages have an "export to CD" function that will burn a CD with a directory of DICOM images, optionally with a copy of a program for displaying the images. It sounds like you have one of those CDs that's been burned with a copy of a Windows DICOM viewer. You won't be able to use that without a copy of Windows installed.
However, that doesn't mean that you can't view the DICOM images. The most widely used DICOM viewer is probably [OsiriX|http://www.osirix-viewer.com>, which is free to download and use. Simple install, and use the import function to load a whole directory of DICOM images at once.
