Turn on WebView in WSS 2.0 !!!

[OregonSteve]

Greetings-

Please help me find my way... I need WebView turned on, but can't seem to find the setting, even with the answer staring me right in the face in Tech Doc. This article refers to turning OFF this view on Windows SharePoint Services 1.0 and I'm using 2.0 but I'm hoping it's still relatively the same to reverse the setting:

Problem:
When Microsoft Office 2003 users work with my document library, I want them to see a list of folders and files, not a Web page, in the Open and Save dialog boxes.

Solution:
To turn WebView (WebView: One of the views available in Open and Save dialog boxes. Displays a Web page with hyperlinks for opening and saving files in document libraries.) off for all the document libraries in your Web site, do the following:

On the Tools menu, click Site Settings.
On the Advanced tab, clear the Display a web page view of available document libraries to Office users who open from or save to the web check box.

Is this talking about in Office2003, or in SharePoint? I can't find it in either place.

Thanx
OregonSteve

Hello,

Take a look at this KB from Microsoft

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/819028

This article describes the web view and it is a setting in Windows and not in SharePoint or MS Office. I am not sure if this is what you are looking for but just make sure you make a backup before making any changes.

Regards,
Thomas

Hello again,

Also check if the Explorer view in SharePoint would work for you. You can set the explorer view to be the default view of a document library.

Yes, that's my trouble. I can't find in SharePoint where to turn this view on and off. That's the reason for this post. So can you please tell me where to navigate to find it...

Thanx

Hello,

Browse "into" the document library you want to change. On the left hand side you will see Modify Settings and Columns. Click there and at the bottom of the page you will find views, there you can set the Explorer view as the default view for that document library.

Cheers,
Thomas
