    Hello all,

    Maybe this question should be reposted on a Windows Sharepoint forum. If this is the case, I apollogize and I will move there.

    In our Project Web Access (installed before I arrived to the company, so I do not know many details) we have a Shared Documents section independent of any specific project Workspace. I am using it to have a FAQ and How-to document accesible to all users, in order to provide them with customized help with Project and Server. However the document is typically opened in the same browser window, preventing its use in parallel with the PWA.

    Is there a way to make the system to open these documents in a new browser window or tab? By the way, we use Explorer 7. Any suggestion will be welcomed.

    Best regards,

    Fabian

    ...and a happy New Year for all gregorian Calendar users!

    Simplest thing would be to use (Shift + Click) :) ,

    1. Open C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12\TEMPLATE\GLOBAL\XML 
    2. Open ONET.XML
    3. Search for this line <Else><HTML><![CDATA[<A onfocus="OnLink(this)" HREF="]]></HTML>
    4. Change it to <Else><HTML><![CDATA[<A onfocus="OnLink(this)" target="_new" HREF="]]></HTML>
    5. Find one more line : <Else><HTML><![CDATA[<A TABINDEX=-1 HREF="]]></HTML>
    6. Change it to <Else><HTML><![CDATA[<A TABINDEX=-1 target="_new" HREF="]]></HTML>
    7. Reset the IIS >> and you are done

    Try this in dev environment first :)

    Hope this helps

    Dear Sunil,

    thank you, it looks like what I was asking for. As my IT contacts are en masse on holidays I will have to wait, but I will mark the post as an answer as soon as I have tested it. Just one question: will that change allow to pop up a new window for just the documents, or will it affect when we click on any hyperlink? I mean with it projects in Project Center, etc.

    Thanks!

    Fabian

    It won't affect the Project Server, as its relevant to sharepoint only :) but however try in Dev environment first :)
