Running Microsoft programs, like sharepoint, on a mac has always been a lost cause for me. I just don't have the patience.

Having same problem mentioned about about subsites disappearing if navigate to another, then having to reenter info.

The lack of syncing between Entourage and sharepoint contacts and, especially, calendar may doom the switch to mac for our office.

Another problem having in browser (since lists don’t even seem to open in Document Connection) is editing in data sheet (option doesn’t exist). Also, cannot Connect to Client or Export to Spreadsheet.

Can’t delete a file (even if you have full Sharepoint permissions). Can’t create a folder (only a file, through Microsoft Office Word, etc.). Can’t move a file or folder.

You can copy the file path by pressing Cmd+C

The Delete option in the file menu does not work.

If you type in the address to a sharepoint site such as subsite2 as shown below in the navigation pane if you accidentically click on Site which you may not have Contribute permissions to then Sharepoint looses it connection all together and you can no longer connect to Subsite2. You have to add the connection back in. This is very annoying.

Site — Subsite 1 — Subsite2

Yes, I have the same issue.

Same here.
Entourage is using the Kerberos tickets just fine.
Oddness…

Interesting.
MS Sharepoint site, MS Document Connection won’t open site with Kerberos.
If I put in the account and password, it’s fine.
Too bad – looks pretty cool.
Any ideas?

I thought kerberos was supported?

I think you can copy the document path by either going under the edit menu or draging the file to your email.

This is excellent news. I’ve just been trying it out over the last few minutes, and while it yet doesn’t work over Kerberos sign-in where I work, username/password authentication to our Sharepoint installation works just fine.

I can’t find much documentation as to how it works. Presumably it’s WebDAV?

-I’d like to see some of the Sharepoint calendar functionality come in to future versions, but given the name of the app, that may not be the MBU’s intention.

-I’d also like to see a right click contextual menu listing that allows you to copy the path the file for the purposes of emailing its location, or maybe a button to email a link to the file in a new Entourage email.

Still, very much a step in the right direction.
