Opening Documents in Office Desktop client creates sharepoint links in network drive folder
Hi Guys
Having an issue where if a document is opened from sharepoint or through the explorer window in Office, a "folder" is created in the network drive folder which has a sharepoint link to the document. I realise this is probably a built in versioning
feature of SharePoint but it's becoming a bit of a pain with the sheer volume of links being created. Any ideas how to turn off this feature or bug?
Thanks//
Hi,
Could you capture the screenshot of the "folder"? Please specify the "folder" path in the screenshot.
In my environment, whether I open the document from site UI or open library with Windows Explorer, then open document, there is no folder created.
Please test the issue on another PC and check if it is related to client machine.
Regards,
Rebecca Tu

Open Documents with Office Web App - SharePoint 2013
We have configured Office Web App for our SharePoint 2013 Farm and in Site settings, Site Collection Features, have disabled "Open Documents in Client Applications by Default" . Out of 15 sites, all documents in 13 sites open in Office
Web App. One of the 2 sites where the document still open using Client Application is a Wiki site.
Advanced propertied for the libraries settings has been set to "Use the server default (Open in the browser)". Anything else to check to open documents in Office Web App?
Thanks
MPHi,
As I understand, you encountered the issue when you want to open documents with Office Web App.
Check things below:
1. In the library setting->advanced setting, you can choose the open in the browser to see if the same situation will occur.
2. Check if you have not enable the Open Documents in Client Applications by Default feature.
If you choose Activate to enable the Open in Client feature (documents will open in the client application), or
Deactivate to disable the Open in Client feature (documents will open in the browser).
You can go to Site setting->site collection administration->site collection feature->Open
Documents in Client Applications by Default to set the feature.
The article below is about how to set the default open behavior for browser-enabled documents.

Cannot open document because Office keeps trying to sign in to Office 365 with the wrong account
Problem: I cannot open Office documents from SharePoint on Office 365 because Office tries to sign in with my Microsoft account instead of my Office 365-account.
History
When we started the project, I did not have an Office 365-account yet for the organization I was working for. To get temporary access to SharePoint a colleague invited me on my Microsoft Account to gain access to SharePoint. This worked fine and I
was able to access SharePoint. A few days later I received my official Office 365 account, so I also got e-mail etc. Because I now have an official Office 365 account, we removed my Microsoft Account from SharePoint. So now I only have access to SharePoint
with my Office 365 account.
The problem is that I can no longer open documents in Office. In the web version everything works fine, but if I want to open a document in for example Word, it says the document cannot be opened. Sometimes it shows a screen which says "Something
went wrong". If I click through to go back to the website, it show me that it tried to login with my Microsoft Account and that this account does not have access to the site. It suggests to sign out and login with a different account, but this leads to
a page that does not exist. I cannot figure out how to make Word use my Office 365 account.
What I have already tried
-Remove all my browser history and temporary files
-Add Office 365 as a connected service in Office. I can sign-in with my Office 365 account and the location is added, but I still cannot open documents.
-Tried a different pc. But because Office syncs al my settings, I got the same problem on all my pc’s.
-Removed all my Windows credentials via the credential manager in the control panel. If I also remove the credentials for my Microsoft Account, Office cannot sign in anymore. At this point, if I try to access SharePoint, it asks me for my credentials
and I have access to the documents. However, if I restore my Microsoft Account in Office again by entering my password, the problem is back.
-As a work around I can add my Office 365 account as a separate Office account. I have access then, but it is really annoying because every time I want to open a document, I have to open Word, switch accounts, close Word and open the document. It is
not capable of automatically selecting the account to use.
Conclusion and question
I have also worked with other Office 365 organizations which I can easily add to the connected services in Office and they work fine. So somehow Office has linked my Microsoft Account to this organization of Office 365 and it refuses to use the correct
account. Does anybody know how to unlink my Microsoft Account from this Office 365 organization so that I can use the correct account?Try these steps from the source linked below:
Stop connecting to a connected account
You can stop connecting to a connected email account in Outlook Web App by removing the connection.
In Outlook Web App, click Settings >
Options > Account > Connected accounts.
Under Account Name, select the account you want to stop connecting to.
Click Delete to remove the connection.
Click Yes in the dialog box to confirm that you want to stop connecting to the account.

Greetings all,
We have a particular campus with exceptionally limited access on their machines -- essentially, they can browse the web (access our Intranet) but not write information to drives or update their MS Word to read the new DocX format (or install plugins, etc,
to do so).
The new Web Apps seems to provide some potential for alleviating their issue -- but ideally, they would be able to originate (create) new documents right in Sharepoint by clicking on New -> Document and having the new document open in Office Web Apps
rather than downloading / creating through Template.Doc (standard method in Sharepoint).
Any ideas about how to make this kind of functionality happen?
THanks!
---DaveWhen you mention "web apps" I assume you're referring to the new "Office web apps" in SharePoint 2010, so I'm not sure why this question is in a pre-sharepoint 2010 forum... My answer entails how to go about doing this in 2010 only.
In the document library's settings, go to advanced settings, and choose for the files to be forced to be opened in the browser, instead of the client software.
By default, you're only going to have a new word document for your "new" button. You'll need to create content types for all the other document types you want them to be able to create. So create a blank spreadsheet, and save it on your desktop,
and create a blank powerpoint too.
Then create new content types at the top level of the site collection. One called Excel Template, and one called PowerPoint template. For each content type, click on the advanced settings and upload that blank file that you created.
In your document library, go to the library's advanced settings and change "allow mgmt of content types" to YES. Then, in the content types section add those 2 new content types you created.
Now, when people click the "new" drop-down, they will have choices of a word document, excel and powerpoint, and they will open in the browser.

URL link to open transaction in NWBC Desktop client
Hi!
I am trying to create an URL link to open a transaction in a role that I am using.
The webpage is shown in a web-chip as a part of FPM page inthe NWBC desktop client.
I have tried this type of concept: https://serverXX:8000/sap/bc/nwbc/~canvas/roleEntry/MyROLE:56/
The problem is that this opens the transaction in the HTML version of NWBC (inside NWBC desktop client).
However, I would do not want to use the HTML based version of the transaction. I want to use nativ abap transaction inside NWBC Desktop client.
I am able to open the transaction with a link from a webbrowser with this type of link:
sap-nwbc://https://serverXX:8000/sap/bc/nwbc/~canvas/roleEntry/MyROLE:56/
This link does not open at all from within NWBC....
How do I achieve opening a transaction via URL from inside the NWBC Desktop client?Hi Stefan,
Same issue i have as well.
My Understanding is, in NWBC desktop, if you open a non sap (eg: html) page, NWBC becomes an IE Browser.
That means you are now out of SAP for that tab (with html page) and whenever you try to launch any SAP transaction (using the method from HTML) it will launch in a new window and ask for Login.
May be Experts like Samuli Kaski & Melinda Ludanyi can put some light on it.
But, I have one more solution for this which is partially working in my case. May be helpful in you case as well.
Issue: From some SAP transaction in NWBC (say tab A), you are launching the html page (say tab B) and then want to launch another SAP transaction (Say tab C) from html.
Solution: Embed the HTML in SAP using HTML Viewer class and launch SAP custom transaction using the interface IF_LSAPI. It will launch it in new tab as a sap transaction with your html page.
Now if you want to launch the SAP transaction from your html page (Which is embedded in SAP custom transaction) you can use HTML Viewer class Events and you can pass parameters as well. Re use the same interface IF_LSAPI and launch it in new tab
In my case i am facing problems as the web developer has so many things on java script and they are not working properly. He is working on it and i am hoping it will be fine.

Link to document not opening document in browser or client app
hi All,
i am using office 365 e1, i have aspx page on which we are fetching link of document and showing using CSOM. when user click on link instead of opening in client app or browser it is downloading.
if you have solution please help meHi,
According to your description, you want to open document link in client app or browser.
You need to active the “Open Documents in Client Applications by Default” feature.
I suggest you do as the followings:
1. Open “Site Settings”->”
Site Collection Features”.
2. Active the “Open Documents in Client Applications by Default” feature.
I did a test in my environment, here is a screen capture below:
http://tinypic.com/r/f05egm/8
Do you mean that it will download file or just an open alert in the browser after you click the document link ?
Please provide your detailed information such as screen capture, it will be easier for us to find the solution of the issue.

Problem Saving or Opening Documents with Office 2013 Home & Business
Hello there,
as the title says, I'm running into a problem when trying to save or open Documents in Word,Excel,etc. (all Office Programs)
I get the message "Microsoft Word stopped working". Or Excel, Powerpoint...
I already tried to deinstall and used the Office-FixIt-Tool to clean the PC.
I also updated the driver for my Graphic-Card, installed the newest Windows-Updates and checked if it is caused by an Add-In.
None of this helped. The Problem still exists when starting in Safe-Mode.

If I start Windows in Safe-Mode and try to start one of the Office-Products I get another error, something like:
Your Program could not be started. Please try again.

Hope there is a fix for this...
Thanks in advance!
marcusHello George,
No, it has never worked.
For testing I installed Office 2010 and this worked fine.
But as I said, all versions had been deinstalled before reinstalling Office 2013 (even cleaned up with the FixIt-Tool).

Why can I not open documents in Pages that were created in Pages?
I am using the most recent update to Pages. Unfortunately all the documents that I had within the previous version of Pages will not open within the new Pages. Equally, I cannot open any documents that I have just created with the new Pages either. Is there an obvious solution to this? Very frustrating!
You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
Pages 5.2 is in your Applications folder.
Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5.2 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
Older versions of Pages 5 can not open files from later versions of Pages 5.
Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
Anything that is saved to iCloud and opened in a newer version of Pages is also converted to Pages 5 files.
All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
Apple has removed almost 100 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

Can't open documents on the Desktop with apple applications
Came across this while using automator and now realize that it is a problem with Numbers, Pages and probably all Apple Apps.
With Automator I get the eternal spinning wheel whenever I try to open a workflow which is located on the Desktop. Works OK with other locations. Also, whenever I use the "Get Specified File" command in automator and try to add the file location I get the spinning wheel. The desktop is the default location when I do this and can not change it. Other Automator commands work ok.
I have come to realize that this is also true with Pages and Numbers. That is any document that is on the desktop will not open from the Pages/Numbers application. The selection page freezes and have to force quit. However, the document will open directly from the Desktop (i.e. selecting it on desktop and double clicking.). Also, documents open ok from any other location.
Have run disk permission and deleted cache files associated with Automator with no change. Everything else works perfectly on the Mac, running Mavericks 10.9.1.
I'd appreciate any ideas. ThanksProblem cleared after deleting below Libarary files:
com.apple.automator.LSSHAREDFILELIST 9.15.09 PM.plist
com.apple.finder 9.15.29 PM.list

Pages on my iPad3 has become very slow to open documents after upgrading to ios7.
I posted on here about this a few weeks back and someone suggested force-closing Pages -- and that does indeed enable me to open things -- but I have had to force-close many times in the last 24 hours, which is worrying. Are there any other suggestions?
I am sometimes also finding that, when I have been writing something and then click on "documents" the screen goes blank, there is a wait of around a minute and then the same document is re-displayed, before clicking "documents" again lets me look at other documents -- which is a pain if I am trying to move between documents repeatedly. Again, words of wisdom on this would be great.
Pages under iOS6 opened quickly, and there was an immediate loss of performance when I upgraded. I am finding this very frustrating because I don't feel that the new Pages has added to the facilities I was using, but a slowness to open documents is frustrating.
Thanks

Some clients keep disconnecting the Mapped network drive
I'm sure you've already done this but is the "reconnect at logon" box checked.
Hi,
this is my first time asking a question so hope I'm being clear on my problem. We have a Domain running 2008 R2 under a VMware server. The domain is at 192.168.1.25 We have a file-server at 192.168.1.20 (T:). On a few Windows 7 Pro laptops the network drive (T:) keeps disconnecting. It's not showing at all. I can remap it using the network path but when these few clients reboot it goes away again. Only happening on maybe 5 out of 50 clients. This has just started today. I've already rebooted the whole Vmware server and restarted the individual servers and it's still happening. Any ideas?
Thanks for any input.

Mess with accounts in OneNote and OneDrive for Business - can't open documents from Office 365
Hello!
[Reposted from
here]
I've got Office 365 subscription (E3) with Office.
I can view and edit OneNote notebooks on Office 365 via browser, but can't open it in OneNote.
The similar problem exists for OneDrive for Business - some libraries are syncing, some cannot - asking for Enter credentials, but when I click - nothing happens.
There were two accounts bound to Office 2013 - personal Microsoft ID as primary account and corporate Office 365 linked to it.
Windows 8.1 corporate profile is linked to Microsoft ID account as well.
Something happen with these accounts after password was changed - it seems like some account information was cached and can't be cleaned.
I tried to uninstall Office and install it - no success.
I cleaned computer with
this utility from Support - no luck.
On other Windows 8.1 computer I created new profile (with Microsoft ID account) - surprise, there are problems there as well.
I deleted all Office15 entries from Credentials Manager - Office asked me about Office 365 login/password - I entered them, it is syncing, Haliluja, but, when Microsoft ID account was linked to Office 365 account in Office - problem appears again.
It seems that Office 2013 uses Microsoft ID credentials for Office 365 content.
I'd like to use Microsoft ID as primary account for Office and link Office 365 account to it, but don't want such problems. It worked fine, but I don't know what happened and how it can be analyzed and fixed.
Update: It seems I localized the problem, but still don't know the solution.
Scenario to reproduce error for me:
1. Create fresh new Corporate/Domain user profile on Windows 8.1 with Office Pro 365 installed on computer with latest updates
2. Go to SharePoint Online and browse some Libraries and OneNote notebooks - all ok
3. Start to sync them using OneNote and OneDrive for Business - ok
4. Link Microsoft Account with Corporate Account in Windows 8.1 - ok
5. Syncing of _some_ (not all) Office 365 libraries and notebooks stop working - errors with access, permissions. I'm trying to enter credentials but this doesn't help
6. Disconnect Microsoft Account and Reboot - all libraries and notebooks of Office 365 work fine again. But OneNote notebooks from OneDrive stop working :)
How I can fix this situation and have Microsoft and Corporate account connected?Update 2:
I installed PowerShell for SharePoint online cmdlets and found this user using get-SPOUser.
I removed this user using remove-SPOUser -site
https://mysitename.sharepoint.com -LoginName
[email protected]
but when I'm trying to access sharepoint from the browser with Microsoft account credentials - new record for this user is created again and I can see it with get-SPOUser :(
So, problem is still not solved - this user is still can be authenticated (there is no such user in SharePoint site collection, there is no such user profile) and Office 2013 syncing doesn't work for Office 365 due this mess with accounts.
I know that I can remove Sharing with external users from Site Collection and information about these users will be permanently deleted - but I don't want to do this, there are several customers who work with our documents. -
I am getting multiple authentication prompts when I try to open or create a new .docx or .xslx document from SharePoint 2010.
I tried this on different machines and on different browsers (IE and Firefox) and see the same behavior. I am the site collection administrator. I see the same behavior on other sites also. Other users are also seeing the same behavior.
If I download the document, I can open it without any issues.
The Web Application IIS authentication settings is NTLM and Client Integration is enabled.Hi shankze,
According to your description, my understanding is that you could not open the documents because of the authentications.
Go to IIS, make sure that the Security TokenServiceApplication pool is started.
Please do as the followings, and compare the result:
Add your site to the Trusted Sites Internet Zone.
Go to Internet Options - Security - Highlight the Trusted Sites Check Mark - click on custom level - scroll to the bottom and in the user authentication section select "Automatic logon with current username and password."
Also, you can do via group policy in DC server.
More information, please refer to the link:
