Notebook opens as read only from a Windows SharePoint Services document library in OneNote 2003 (830872)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services
  • Microsoft Office OneNote 2003

SYMPTOMS

When you click a hyperlink to open a Microsoft Office OneNote 2003 notebook that is located in a Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services document library, OneNote 2003 opens the file as a read only copy of the notebook.

CAUSE

This problem occurs because Microsoft Internet Explorer does not have a defined MIME type for a *.one OneNote 2003 file. Because of this, Internet Explorer downloads a copy of the file to the Temporary Internet Files folder for OneNote 2003 to open.

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem, you must create a hyperlink to the document library where the file resides and then open the file. To open the file, follow these steps:
  1. Click the hyperlink to open the document library.
  2. Click the drop down arrow next to the notebook's name.
  3. Click Edit in Microsoft Office OneNote.
This will open the notebook in OneNote 2003 in a shared mode. Any changes that are made to the file will be saved back to file in the document library.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed in the "Applies to" section.
