I am going to add my 2 cents here....just to give a scope of this
problem because I definately think something has majorly changed with
regard to how Office 2007 handles file security when opening, saving,
deleting files on network shares!!! >=(
First of all, my situation is unique in that I do not give full rights
to this particular network share. The permissions are as follows:
Full Control: Nothing Checked
Traverse Folder / Execute: Allow
List Folder / Read Data: Allow
Read Attributes: Allow
Read Extended Attributes: Allow
Create Files / Write Data: Allow
Create Folders / Append Data: Allow
Write Attributes: Allow
Write Extended Attributes: Allow
Delete: Nothing Checked
Read Permissions: Allow
Change Permissions: Nothing Checked
Take Ownership: Nothing Checked
Based on the above a user should be able to open a file, type stuff in
it, and then save it. They should not be able to delete any files
(and ultimately I don't want them renaming either)....
*** ALL CLIENTS XP PRO SP2 ***
Office 2003: WORKS GREAT! No problems
Office 2007: User cannot modify the file unless they are the owner,
which naturally they are only the owner in the case that they create
the file or "drag and drop" a file from their desktop to the
share.....the error they get if they use the SAVE function in all
other circumstances: "Access Denied, contact your administrator".
Granted, if I change the permission DELETE from "nothing checked" to
"allow" the error does not occur. What does SAVING A FILE have to do
with DELETING? This is an issue with 2007!!!!!!
As far as the solutions offered by Emily here's my thoughts:
Antivirus: make a case for how this should effect saving over the
network? It doesn't, especially when you are talking being able to
save one file type (jpg or txt) but not another (xls or xlsx)
WebClient: not sure what this has to do with it either, but I disabled
and no help (in the case where "delete" permissions are not checked
OfflineFiles: um, no. Offline Files are an extremely critical part to
our network! I cannot disable this, won't even look at it at a work
around =/
Firewall: same question as AV, shouldn't matter if we can save TXT
over network eh? Either way, all LAN firewalls are disabled to
clients through GPO
*** Something else I noticed, when the SAVE fails stupid Office 2007
dumps a TMP file into my network share. IF I RENAME THAT TEMP
EXTENSION TO XLXS I can open it and it contains the SAVED
changes........AAAAARGH WTF?!?!?! ***
That's all I can think of for now, I think I covered everything (note:
did I mention that the users can open 2003 versions and do a SAVE with
2003 offfice, but opening even 2003 version on 2007 and doing SAVE
fails?....so obviously crappy coding on 2007's part)
