Siniša Šehović	Wednesday 22 February 2006 2:16:41 pm Hi Aaron, I belive you could use RewriteRule in your apache httpd.conf to disable "~WRL". Take a look on this : http://ez.no/community/forum/install_configuration/virtual_hosting_problem_rewriterule_urgent/re_virtual_hosting_problem_rewriterule__12 S. --- If at first you don't succeed, look in the trash for the instructions.
Aaron River	Tuesday 28 February 2006 11:06:57 am Haven't had to try this yet. I updated our WebDrive version to their latest release, and it looks like they cache those files locally now too. It is an interesting question of whether a redirect would make Office happy. Would it be okay with the file not getting created? Perhaps if it was not, the tmp files could be created in a designated temporary directory on the dav server, such as "Media/Tmp" (using the rewriting approach). This way, Office would get its tmp files, but they wouldn't get published either. Thanks.

Thanks.
