When we try to open a document from SharePoint we get a message box with the message "Could not open [docpath]". If we copy the path into word we can access the document. After some seaching on the net we found that if you reset the advanced setting in IE 6 then it sould work, but we did not find what setting that made it not work.

So what setting in IE 6 makes it so that we can't open word document directly in SharePoint 2007?

Is there something that is blocking your access to the document? For example urlscan?

can you confirm that you've configured the MIME types in IIS as application/msword for .doc & .docx extensions?
