When I email/send URL links to documents to Mac users such as
http://sharepointsitedomain.com/Projects/sitename/Shared%20Documents/data.xls
and the user clicks on the link the file is downloaded to the local drive. From wich the user can open it. They are now working on the local copy not the centrally managed document.
But On windows it actually opens up in Excel and the user can then Check out the file and work on it, Check it in etc.
How can I configure a Mac and Sharepoint so that referenec files are opened in the client app. I would have thought that I'd be able to specifiy the MIME application in the browser but my Mac guy does not seem to think that this will help.
Any thoughts on how I can get a Mac to open files in SharePoint.
