Has anyone had any luck opening a .TWB file in Sharepoint?

Huh. Sharepoint/IE mucks it up and shows you XML, doesn't it.

Well, from the document's dropdown menu you can select "Send to -> Download a copy" to get a hold of the twb so you can open it.

I am not a Sharepoint expert, so I'm not sure how to add the filetype to Sharepoint to get an "Edit in Tableau" option for checking out shared documents.

Another option with Tableau 4.0 is to publish your view to our Server product and then embed the live Tableau views directly into SharePoint pages. This works really well if you have views that people monitor frequently and you want them to be accessible by your own web applications or SharePoint
