At last I found some more time to carry out your steps. dummy URL: http://servername/xwiki reroutes to http://servername/xwiki/bin/view/Main/ Servername entered into the XWord plugin: http://servername Login: sAMAccountName PW: pw Executing your given steps gave the following results: - Create a wiki page using Word -> successful - Insert some images then publish the page -> testing with only one image -> insertion successful, publishing successful -> db-table [xwikiattachment] holds a new dataset with details of the attachment -> db-table [xwikiattachment_content] doesn't contain a corresponding dataset with the attachment content - View the page in the browser and click on one of the image attachements. -> page can be viewed. picture is shown. seems to last as long as the cache holds up - The attachment should be corrupt -> after a view minutes it seems corrupt - Back in Word, re-publish the page -> success -> db-table [xwikiattachment] holds old dataset with details of the attachment -> db-table [xwikiattachment_content] doesn't contain a corresponding dataset with the attachment content - Refresh the browser tab containing the attachment url -> The image appears -> correct - Refresh the entire wiki page in the brower -> The image is currupt again -> correct For testing I used both Firefox and IE8 Regarding the installation.. yes it does prompt for admin rights when trying to install .net3.5 (even if its already installed) but it still fails to write to security protocol if word is not at least once started with administrator rights. This is no problem for me since we will have to do this only once per machine and the administrator is going to be doing this manually anyways - I just wanted to mention it :) Greetings, Andreas -- View this message in context: http://xwiki.475771.n2.nabble.com/XWord-image-upload-to-db-fails-tp5367663p5...
