<![CDATA[<p>How can I make <STRONG>web</STRONG><EM>Café</EM> accessible directly through Office or Windows as described in the online help?</p><p><P>There is a way to access the files and folders within a <STRONG>web</STRONG><EM>Café</EM> room directly through Microsoft Office or Windows. This is variously known as Web Folders, WebDAV, or Network Places ("Add a network place").</P>
<P>We've found that this feature may be hard to set up for some versions of Windows (due to problems in Windows, rather than in <STRONG>web</STRONG><EM>Café</EM>). In particular, it is not currently possible with Windows Vista's "Set up connection..." to make a WebDAV connection to <STRONG>web</STRONG><EM>Café</EM>. Also, neither our home page (<A href="http://webcafe.wharton.upenn.edu/">http://webcafe.wharton.upenn.edu</A>) nor <A href="http://webcafe.wharton.upenn.edu/eRoom">My eRooms</A> can be set up as Network Places. However, under earlier versions of Windows you may be able to connect to individual <STRONG>web</STRONG><EM>Café </EM>rooms, folders or calendar events. The eRoom online help describes this:</P>

<P>Once you get the Network Place (also known as a Web Folder) successfully created for an eRoom, you can either open and save directly from an Office application, or you can use the simplified "files/folders only" view provided directly from the Network Place (which, once set up, appears under "My Network Places" on your computers). Drag and drop of folders from <STRONG>web</STRONG><EM>Café </EM>to your computer is possible via the Network Place.</P>
<P>If you are having problems with Network Places/Web Folders, the third-party <A href="http://www.webdrive.com/index.php?pg=./products/webdrive/index">WebDrive</A> software can also connect to a <STRONG>web</STRONG><EM>Café </EM>room, folder, or other container (such as calendar events, Notes or database rows) via the <A href="http://www.webdav.org/">WebDAV</A> protocol.</P></p><h3>Alternate Questions/Keywords</h3><p></p><br><br><br><br><a target='_new' href='http://www.parature.com' style='font-family:Verdana;font-size:10px;color:999999;'>Help Desk and Customer Support Software by Parature</a>]]>
