The path or file name is invalid error when opening Office document in

Fri, 28 Aug 2009 18:08:37 GMT

You browse to a SharePoint document library and when you click on the Name of a Microsoft Office PowerPoint file stored in the library, you receive following error: The path or file name for http://servername/libraryurl/filename.pptx is invalid. Please check that the path and file name are correct. Your PowerPoint application starts automatically up on your desktop, but the file isn't opened: however, yesterday everything worked fine. What is even weirder, if you do a search for the document and you click on its name in the search results, your PowerPoint application starts and the file opens without problem. What is also remarkable: if you go to your document library and you choose Edit in Microsoft Office PowerPoint, your PowerPoint application starts, the file gets checked out automatically and opens without error.

For non Microsoft Office documents, such as PDF files, you are not prompted to enter your credentials. The credentials prompt is not taken into account apparently: if you choose Cancel in the prompted window without entering your credentials, the Microsoft Office document is still opened.
