checkin/checkout-Edit Process for non office applications

TheMSsForum.com: The Microsoft Software Forum

Hi

how can i edit a non office application in sharepoint 2003.
for eg: i have a crystal report stored in sharepoint. I checked in the file,
then i open the file, it opens in read only mode. (but for office
applications i can go for the "edit in ....." write mode and do the changes
and checkin. that will the save the document.).
how can i handle this in non office applications.
i know there is a work around by choosing the explorer view and edit it and
save.
but is there any other way, the user can see the "edit in crystal report"
(or any non office apps) and to open in write mode in that editor and do the
changes and checkin in browser.

any ideas appreciated.

Thanks
Ganesh Kolappan.

sorry. I mentioned wrongly as "checked in the file" in my previous post.
But it is "check out" the file.

I doubt you can do that, because office is built to be aware of sharepoint.
But not the other apps... (I think, not confirmed)

Yes, the number of applications that you can open out-of-the-box using Edit
In has increased from Office XP to Office 2003 (on the client), but all the
additional (standard) ones are also from Microsoft and are more or less
connected to Office.

I have a very vague feeling that someone has posted (to the newsgroup) how
to add new products to the list, but I can't remember the details and it
might be a figment of my imagination.

I think you set that in this file on the server:
