A while ago, a customer experienced some issues whenever he tried to edit a document or create a new document from withing SharePoint Server 2007. Apparently this was caused by using Office 2003, installing and removing beta versions of Office 2007 and afterwards performing a new install of Office 2007 RTM. This article - Internet Explorer crashing when launching documents Office documents from SharePoint Server and WSS suggested performing a reinstall of the "Windows SharePoint Services support" in Office 2007 but fortunately one of our SharePoint gurus found a quicker workaround:
1. Delete C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office 12\OWSSUPP.DLL
2. Run the Microsoft Office Diagnostics tool (Start > All Programs > MS Office > MS Office Tools)
3. Reboot
This seemed to solve the issue.
Thanks for the tip. This worked great for me, didn't need the reboot at the end.
ReplyDeleteI was running Office Pro 2007 with Visio 2003, which caused the confusion to begin with.
I was using the trial version of SharePoint Designer 2007. Uninstalling it fixed the issue.
ReplyDeleteI had a similar problem, except IE was crashing when navigating to a list that used the calendar view. Performed the suggested fix and everything is working now. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteFantastic, this worked for me too using Office 2003 and what I think is a 2007 Sharepoint server.
