Do u know how sharepoint gets integrated with microsoft office? As in.. in sharepoint 2003 you can check out word files, edit them in word and save them on the server. If you upload a .txt file, you can check it out, but there is no option for editing in notepad, and if u save it gets saved locally not on the server as notepad is not integrated with sharepoint. Can someone explain to me how does sharepoint recognize a word file and put the "Edit in Microsoft Word" feature?

SharePoint 2003 uses many different technologies. One technology is Web Parts. Web Parts can be constructed to access anything you need on your system. In addition to Web Parts. Microsoft also uses custom assemblies that are built specifically for the Office Products. Together, these technologies communicate behind the scenes allowing for tighter integration. Also, there are custom Outlook Web Parts built right into SharePoint 2003, which will allow any user to customize their "MySite", by adding the Outlook Calendar, Tasks, etc. To any area of their personal MySite page. The idea of checking files in and out is part of SharePoint lists. This is built into the list API, which is configurable and can be turned off. Hope this helps! ~ CodeDoctor ~

Thanx for that info. But what I really wanted to know is how does Sharepoint integrate with Microsoft word or excel. If i put a file on Sharepoint and then edit it, it opens in excel witha check in/out option. How does Sharepoint make the file open in excel is not a problem.. I did that first by modifying a xml file (Drive:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web server extensions\60\Template\Xml\Docicon.xml) and then creating a small activex control that searches for that particular file depending upon its extension and then opening it. The main problem is how do i make the application (take for example Photoshop) have the check in/out option. Do you have any idea how to do this?:confused:
