    [SOS]Why the opened doc is read-only while clicked 'Edit in MS Word' menu,but editable by click the file's name link.

    I extended my application in WSS to build a FBA(Form Based Authentiaction) site,almost everything is working normally but openning MS document in the DOC library。

    While I open docs by "Edit in Microsoft Word",which lays in the pop-menu of every doc,the document opened in read-only mode,though the IE displayed the document has been checked out .

    However,if I click on the document's text-link and choose checked out to edit in the pop-window,the document is opend in editable mode,and it's editable and can be saved to sharepoint normally.

    Someone in my compnay can use the "Edit in Microsoft Word" menu to open documents in editable mode,but I don't know why,and what can I do to solve others failling to open  document in open  mode.

    I have checked the following things:
    1、While logging in WSS,the "automatically login" checkbox is checked.
    2、In the Internet zone of Authentication Provider ,which is used by my extened application, I have selected 'yes' to Enable Client Integration.

    Any hints are welcome, i really want to get this to work !
    Thanks very much!
