I used to be able to open sharepoint documents from the sharepoint website & from file explorer ("my Network Places") directly in word/excel - which is great with the option to save changes directly to sharepoint).
Recently (I think it started when I changed my sharepoint password) I can no longer open documents in word/excel. Not from the website or the file explorer. I can log in to both the website and file explorer with my new password and browse sharepoint in both, but I can't open files. I do not get any error. I can see in a network traffic viewer that word/execl briefly connects to the sharepoint site, the word/excel program startup but the document does not open - just blank word/excel with no open document.
This problem is peculiar to word/excel (2010) - I can open docs in viseo (2007) directly on the same machine.
Also this problem seems to be something cached on my workstation because from another computer I can open the sharepoint docs in word/excel (2007).
Smells to me like a cached password or something but I went so far as to uninatall/reinstall msoffice365 2010 but that did not help - I still cannot open word/excel docs from sharepoint...
