Set Open Documents in Client Applications by Default with SharePoint 2007

I have activated the excel service with sharepoint 2007, but some excel files can't be opened well for unsupported features.
Therefore, I have to set to open excel file by client application avoiding the above error.
I have done bellow settings but no effect:
1)Change the advanced settings in document library to
Open in the client application;
2)Set authentication providers to Enable client intergration;
3)I 'd like to activate the feature of
open documents in the client application but I can't find it in features.
Please kindly guide me how to make it.
Many appreciations for your support in advance!

Then, this issue is not controlled by Office client, we need to config it with SharePoint. Thus, if you have further question, I recommend you post it SharePoint forum:

Add hyperlink or button to open document in client application

Good day.
I have SharePoint 2013 and Office Web Apps 2013 integrated with it.
I configured the default behavior when clicking on a document in a document library to open it in web app.
And I want additionally to have column in this library with hyperlink or button to open document in client application.
I can click on menu near document name with WAC preview and then click "change" button. But in this case I make 2 clicks. So I want to have this "change" button as a column in the list of document library.
How can I do it?

Hi, Daniel.
I successfully created rich
text type column - richtextcolumn.
Then I created workflow associated with documents library and added action to set field in current element
- it sets richtextcolumn with value you wrote - "<a class="ms-listlink ms-draggable"
onclick="return DispEx(this,event,'TRUE','FALSE','FALSE','SharePoint.OpenDocuments.3','1','SharePoint.OpenDocuments','','','','1','0','0','0x7fffffffffffffff')" href="[%Current
Item: Server Relative URL%]" DragId="7">test</a> .".
I configured this workflow to run on element creating and editing.
Then I upload a document and see link to this document appearing in richtextcolumn.
But when I click this link it just download document and then open it in client application. So if I change something in this document and try to save it, it will be saved in my local download folder and not sharepoint.

Sharepoint 2013 Open document in client application

Hi,
I have a sharepoint 2013 server which has word documents stored in a document library. I am able to open the documents when i click the url from sharepoint site. I have been trying to open those word documents from an angular js application using javascript
but somehow it is not working for me. Can anyone provide any reference how to open word document for editing in word directly?
The javascript code i am using is -
function(docUrl){
var spObj = new ActiveXObject("SharePoint.OpenDocuments.3");
spObj.EditDocument(docUrl, 'SharePoint.OpenDocuments');

Hi,
How about modifying the code like this:
function editDoc(docUrl)
var spObj = new ActiveXObject("SharePoint.OpenDocuments.3");
spObj.EditDocument(docUrl, 'SharePoint.OpenDocuments');
In JavaScript, a function should be defined in this way:
function function_Name(parameter)
// TO DO LIST

Trouble opening documents in client application. Credentials not being passed through.

I have 2 different farms with the same problem which recently popped up. All files either open as read only (Office Documents) or users get an access denied error (PDF Files). Users are able to download the file, make changes and then upload it
again. It seems like there is a problem passing credentials to Office and Adobe.
The "Open With Explorer" option no longer works either which leads me to believe it is a problem with WebDAV.
2 different environments experiencing the problem:
Server 2012, SharePoint 2013 Server
Server 2008 R2, SharePoint 2010 Foundation.
Both are using windows authentication and Kerberos. The two farms are on different networks leading me to believe it is a browser or client issue. However, there is an additional 2013 foundation farm that is functioning correctly. I have compared local security
policies, IIS settings, SharePoint web application settings and cannot find anything different between the functioning farm and the ones that are having the problem.
The URL's are already in trusted sites.
Databases are not in read only mode.
WebClient Service is running on the client.
I feel like I can rule out most of the client side issues because I have one farm that is working. I have also tried accessing the site from outside the network with my personal computer and it does not work there either. I am running out of ideas to try
and fix this. Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thank You!

SHP2013 - Open Files in Client Application

I can't get PDFs to open in the client, where in the same library Excel and Word both open in the client. This is true across all my libraries with these file types.
The Permissive is ON in Central Admin, the SharePoint OpenDocument Class is enable on the browser tools, and the list setting are set to open items in client application.
Not sure what else to do, any advice?
Note: We just upgraded 2010 to run in 2013 compatibility mode, files open in client while in 2010
Thanks

This is typically because pdfs aren't listed as a trusted file type. This article gives a deep dive into the systems around them. In particular have a look at the section titled 'Default Trusted File (Mime) Types'

HT202879 I downloaded the new version of pages about a month ago. Today I tried to open documents that I created and saved with the new version and received a message that I needed to download the new version. The app store shows the download. HUH?!?

I downloaded the new version of pages about a month ago. Today I tried to open documents that I created and saved with the new version and received a message that I needed to download the new version. The app store shows the download. HUH?!?

I'm not sure what you mean by it making accessing files more complicated. I have both Pages 4.3 & Pages 5.1 icons in my Dock as well as Numbers 2.3 & Numbers 3.1. I continue to use the iWork '09 versions for my everyday needs. As long as the new versions are in your Applications folder & the '09 versions in the iWork '09 folder, Software Update will not have a problem updating them even if Apple should come out with a new update for the '09 versions.
Because I have moved the new versions to an external drive & renamed the apps because I want '09 to be the default apps, I do have to remember to move them back to my applications folder & restore the original names before updating. But since you like the new versions this "complication" doesn't apply to you.

Getting "open recent" items and "open documents" from an application

How do I ask Textedit (if running) for the list of documents currently open?
How do I ask Textedit (if running ) for the list of "open recent" items?
Thank you

Thank you. This does the job for "opened documents" in TextEdit and other applications. I wish there were a similar method for "open recent" items. Each application (TextEdit, BBEdit etc) seems to handle the "open recent" items in its own way!
Thank you again.

Meteo application by default with too poor informations

Hi,
Before using iPhne 4S, I had replaced Meteo application installaed by default with another one (WeatherPro) wich delivers far more informations on the weather.
But now, with the 4S and Siri and the new notification center, we are supposed to use the Yahoo Meteo application if we want to see it in the notification center or if we want to ask Siri about the weather...
But informations delivered by this application are very poor ! There is even information about wind speed and wind chill !
Will it be replaced in the future by a "real" weather application ?
thx

Document properties aren't syncing up with SharePoint in Record Center Libraries

In a record center's document/record library, I'm not able to link word document properties with sharepoint item attributes using "Quick Parts" as I can with Document Libraries.
Could this be because of a separate issue with how the Record Center handles properties?

Hi Dnerd,
We have found this issue. We can reproduced this issue as the followings:
Create a Team site, create a document library
In the library, create a column called Test1, then upload a document to the library
Open the document with office app. In the Quick Parts->Document property, we can find the name of the custom column Test1
Create a Record Center, create a custom column Test2 in Record library, then upload a document to the library
Open the document with office app. In the Quick Parts->Document property, we can not find the name of the custom column Test2
Then create a new library in the Record Center, and create a column for the library. Do a same test, the result is same with the result in Record library.
Thanks,
Wendy

How do i set the umask on a share i created with SharePoints?

how do i change the umask on a share i created with SharePoints?
user's drop files into the share and the permissions are set wrong. both the owner and group along with the mode.
how can i set the default permissions given to newly created files by any user? prefably a non-unixish way but i'll take whatever i can get. tried tinkertool but that didn't work.
i read other forums on macfitix which suggested changing the umask. i am not really sure how to convert integer to octal though. the fix needs integer. i dont know how to convert the permissions i need represented in octal to integer.
i also read the manual on the chmod utility which suggested changing the set on write bit to 4000 so that the newly created files inside a directory would inheret the parent owner etc.. in theory this would work for me. i did that, but it didn't make a lick of a difference. said only on supported OSes. i take it os x must not support this.
the permissions i need to set are 664 or read/write for owner and group and read only for everyone else. when the files get dropped right now they default to 600. not really sure how to convert that to integer or octal. apparently the umask equalivant is represented differently but also called octal but i do not understand why.
hope someone can bring some clarity to my confusion.

IWorks documents open new iWork 10 applications by default

Because of the known issues of the new iWork 10 suite I would like to have the old Pages, Numbers and Keynote applications as standard programs which are opened when a document is doubleclicked. When I open the info window of a e.g. Pages document, change the default program to the old Pages and click on "Change all …" the default application settings jumps back to the new Pages version. It seems to me that Apple tries to force us to the new feature-cutted iWorks suite.
I tried to cheat with the preference panel "RCDefaults" but it does not help. Is there a more powerful brute force terminal command to make the iWorks 9 suite to the default?
Oh, deleting the new programs would be the best solution. I don't need them. But they are automatically re-installed. They update themselves even when they already installed.

iWork '09 was the year not the version.
No point making up names, it only confuses the issue. It has a name and a version. Use those so everyone else knows what you are talking about.
Pages '09 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
Archive/trash Pages 5 and rate/review it in the App Store, then get back to work:

Open documents/files from Application Server in forms 6i

Hello All,
Our requirement is to open files that are in Application server( We do not want to upload them into database).
Is there a way to open this files from forms 6i.
I am wondering how the "View Output" or View log button works on the concurrent program submission form. Its the doing the same thing i.e pulling the file from Application server and showing up.
Please let me know if anyone has any ideas on how to get this done.
Thanks
Sunil

I assume you are using Forms 6i in web mode here. Then it is just a URL to the file if you properly map to a directory where you store the files:
web.show_document('http://...../myfile.pdf');
But it also looks like you are using Oracle Apps, so might want to ask it in the e-Business Suite.

Opening Document Library PDF in a New Window (Sharepoint 2013)

Hello,
I have numerous PDF's in a document library. When the PDF opens in the browser, the PDF's contain links to various other sites; however, when the user clicks the link on the PDF from the document library, the link opens in the same window as the PDF. I would
like the link to open the PDF in a new browser window.
I have searched Google but cannot find anything for SharePoint 2013. We are hosting our SharePoint on the Office 365 package. I found one solution that is repeated on many forums, but I do not see the "Convert to XSLT data view" anywhere
in SharePoint designer 2013. The solution states:
"Edit the document library in SharePoint Designer.
1. Open the site in SharePoint Designer and then open the document library allitems.aspx.
2. Right-click the document library web part and select “Convert to XSLT data view”.
3. Locate the name column, you will see this tag “<A onfocus="OnLink(this)" HREF="{@FileRef}"….. ”, add “target=”_blank”” in tag.
4. After this, the documents will be opened in a new window."
I do see my allitems.aspx and can open that with a text editor. The contents of that file are:

File Open: Asks twice to open document in IE6.0(Weblogic server with JSPs deployed)

          HI,
          This may not be appropriate question on this discussion forum. But in case if
          somebody has answer for this, please let me know:
          Problem:
          I am trying to open some documents in my JSP(JSPs are deployed on Weblogic5.1)
          where a BLOB will be streamed and written to ServletOutputStream. Some piece of
          code which does this, I have pasted below:
          // start attachmentviewer.jsp
          <% BufferedInputStream is = null;
          BufferedOutputStream os = null;
          response.setContentType(mimeType.trim()); // say application/msword for word document
          response.setHeader("Content-Disposition","attachment; filename=\""+attachmentViewBean.getAttachmentName()+
          "\";"); //bean method gets attachment name
          is = new BufferedInputStream(attachmentViewBean.getAttachment().getBinaryStream());
          // gets blob
          os= new BufferedOutputStream(response.getOutputStream());
          byte[] buff = new byte[6500];
          int bytesRead;
          out.clearBuffer();
          while(-1 != (bytesRead = is.read(buff, 0, buff.length)))
          os.write(buff, 0, buff.length);
          %>
          // end attachmentviewer.jsp
          I am closing handles etc. after this.
          This works fine in Netscape6.0 in which
          a dialog box prompts user to open/save
          document once and does correspondigly
          after user action.
          In IE 6.0 first file open dialog comes
          informing its open/saving
          attachmentviewer.jsp. Upon clicking open it
          again opens another dialog box
          informing to open/save for actual file
          name put in response's setHeader method.
          I observed this to happen in IE6.0, but
          works fine in IE5.5 prompting user once.
          If anyone has any idea/suggestions/tips
          about this, please lemme know.
          Thanks,
          Yogesh


i was able to solve it by clearing the output stream (jsp page - out.clear() ) before using it, even resetting the jsp response does the trick..
thanks,
