Hi,
i have one file in my sharepoint site which has some inserted objects such as excel word pdf etc..few days ago i was able to open these files directly by opening the file from sharepoint but since today i am unable to do so..also this works on some machines and doesnt work on some machines.I have office 2007.the file is checked in.
it works when i save the file on my local machine.

i would start by saying if it worked and now it doesnt, and only not on some machines.  I would look to see if any new patches or updates took place on the machines it doesnt work on.  is it an issue with users or computers?

I would also say maybe something changed in the embedded file but since its not bad across the board then thats not it.

it is an issue with computers as far as i can understand.the patches or updates are applied uniformly on all machines across the company and as confirmed with our network team no such patched have been installed.could it be something with office 2007?
Have you tried reinstalling office2007 on the machines where it doesn't work? That did the trick for me in 90% of the cases.
i will try it on my own machine then..will let you know if it works coz if this doesnt work with the users they will readily hang me
true no sense in letting those with the torches stand outside the door for no good reason.
