Visio, XP Pro, and IIS

[bo philipsen]

One of our webmasters just upgraded his system to XP Pro. We host his web site on our server which uses IIS 5.0, Front Page extensions. and Windows 2000 Server. The user can no longer open his Visio documents for editing through Front Page. The error is a small message box with http:// as the message. When the OK button is clicked Visio opens but there is no document displayed. The user also cannot open the document using web folders. The only recourse he has is to download the document localy, edit it, and upload it to the web site.

Is Visio installed in the users machine?? and why he wants to open a visio document in the frontpage??

Which version of Frontpage?

Frontpage stores a number of permission settings in catalogs beginning with _vti when a web-site is published through Frontpage.

If something happens to these on the web or the webmasters PC, permissions problems could make things stop working.
