    I have uploaded a document into my sharepoint folder I try to edit this document by selecting the option "Edit document in Microsoft Office Word" I get the following error message

     

    "Edit Document" requires a Window SharePoint services-compatible application and Microsoft IE 5.0 or higher"

     

    I am running IE 6.0

    and

    MS Word 2000

    My work collegue is able to use this functionality with the same settings hence were don't know what to do

    Office 2000 users will not be able to do the following:
    1. Create new documents via the SharePoint site
    2. Edit existing documents using full SharePoint integration (Meaning that rather than editing the document live via SharePoint, the user must download the document, save it locally, and then re-upload it. Note that this will likely impact revision information that is stored within SharePoint.)
    3. Import lists from Excel

     

    Is it possible he is running a different version of office?
