    - Associating Index Option I am looking for more information on the "Associate Index" option in sharepoint portal 2003. I looked through the help file in sharepoint and it just tells you how to set it up. I am looking to find out what it does, when you would use it, and if it is the same thing as propagating indexes in the 2001 version Maybe someone can point me to a link somewhere that has more information on this Thanks Dave Tag: smigrate tool not working Tag: 32388

    - SPS 2003: Cannot delete site - is this a bug? Hi When I try to create a site, it says: A site with the specified name already exists. So, I go to manage sites, and indeed, the site is there (BUT several times!) So, I delete each one (by selecting 'Delete Item' from the Drop Down List) And indeed, they drop off the list. BUT, I still get the same error when trying to re-create the site. I am left feeling this is all a bit flaky. Why were there more than one entry in the Maintain Sites page? Why could I delete them all, but still the site exists? How on God's earth can I get a list of the physical sites and actually delete the offending site? As usual, any assistance will stave off the overdose. Mark. Tag: smigrate tool not working Tag: 32386

    - Problems after using SMigrate to copy SPS2003 sites Hi I have used SMigrate to copy a site and it's subsites (and their subsites etc.) from one server to another. This seemed to work ok on the face of it, but when I try to add new items to any list, or create new surveys or modify anything in general, I get the same error: <-- Item does not exist The page you selected contains an item that does not exist. It may have been deleted by another user. Click "Home" at the top of the page to return to your Web site. Troubleshoot issues with Windows SharePoint Services. --> Looking at it, it seems that the actual form to add the list item (e.g. http://newsps/sites/Departments/IT/Lists/Contacts/NewForm.aspx) does exist, but it's causing an error. Looking at the actual aspx file, I notice a couple of GUIDs for webparts. I'm wondering if these are the problem? Help!!!!! (please :) Mark. Tag: smigrate tool not working Tag: 32382

    - SPS 2003 Storage Limits Forgive the basic question, but I can't see to find anything that lists the limits of SPS 2003 own repository. I know that 2001 had a limit of around 500,000 files. Also, at what point does it make sense to not use SPS's own repository and instead store the document somewhere else and let SPS crawl them?

    - Calculated value I have a user that has developed a list with multiple columns. 2 of the columns are numerical, with one of them being a calculated value. Here is the setup Column 1 is called Estimated order of Magnitude Type is Number Require that this column contains... is No Automatic decimal places Default Value is Number Column 2 is called Estimated Effort Type is Number Require that this column contains... is No Automatic decimal places Default Value is Calculated Value using the following formula : =IF([Estimated order of Magnitude]<=60,1,(IF([Estimated order of Magnitude]<=120,2,(IF([Estimated order of Magnitude]<=180,3,(IF([Estimated order of Magnitude]<=240,4,"5"))))))) Basically this field should auto populate with number from 1-5 based on the number entered into the first field. When I hit OK on Column 2 I get the following error - The formula contains reference(s) to field(s). Can anyone give me some insight? I read a posting on google by Mike Walsh, but unfortunately wasn't able to figure out if my situation is the same as the one described. This is not my list or formula so I'm not even sure if the syntax is correct, but I believe it to be. Thanks. J Tag: smigrate tool not working Tag: 32337

    - V2 Dm server / SSL / Basic authentication / WebDav / problem Hi, Maybe someone may have an idea on the following problem we are having. We have set up the SPS V2 DM server on an extranet and it is installed on a domain controller. We have our own custom app installed on it that runs on the Exchange Store part of SPS. [All this works on SPS V1]. The box is configured to use basic authentication and the App pool used is the SharepointDMAppPool whose identity is set to Local System. The app ran fine until we put SSL on the box - with SSL installed and configured there is a couple of area of the application that break. The main one is where we check if a folder exists by doing a WebDAV PROPFIND request. If the folder exists then the PROPFIND executes correctly - if it does not exist then it appears that the xml http request call barfs on the send method. The error displayed is "unknown name" and the responseXML appears to be not populated. This is now happening over both http and https. It looks like installing the ssl cert trashed something. Anybody any ideas where to look next? Anybody know the identity of the process that handles dav requests? Anybody know how to trace or debug backend dav requests? Thanks Donal Tag: smigrate tool not working Tag: 32332

    - Add web part zone to STS template Hi, I'm trying to add a new webpart zone to the STS template (C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\60\TEMPLATE\1033\STS\default.aspx). However, the zone must be placed inside the <form runat="server"></form> tags. The existing <form runat="server"></form tags are around a small portion of the the HTML. If I move the tags to start just after the <body> tag, finshing just before the </body> tag I get an error. I cannot add a second set of form tags around my new zone as you can only have one set witht he runat="server" attribute per page. I have managed to achieve it on one page using the STS template by dragging stuff around in FrontPage2003, but I don't want to use this as it disconnects the page from the original template. Any ideas? Tag: smigrate tool not working Tag: 32328
