    - Calculated Values not working I have been looking for information about how to create a concatenated field by using the 'Calculated Value' option for a text field. My goal is to have a field that automatically concatenates [Company] & " - " & [First Name] & " " & [Last Name]. All attempts thus far have resulted in the following error page: The formula contains reference(s) to field(s). (Isn't this the whole point of a concatenation?) Tag: PDF & WSS Tag: 26750

    - Issues with Project Server 2003 and Share Point on Server 2003 Hello, I have a bit of a problem. I botched an origional install of Project Server 2003 and Share Point on a Server 2003 machine. After realizing I had made several mistakes I tried to clean up my mess by uninstalling everything so I could get a clean start. During the process I must have done something out of order since now I can't uninstall or install Project Server. Each time I do so it automaticly goes into uninstall mode and then gives me the following message; "Installation ended prematurely because of an error." Does anyone know how I can work around this problem short of completely redoing the OS? Thanks, Doug Tag: PDF & WSS Tag: 26749

    - connectionString encryption decryption issue Hello, I have a ASP.NET web application problem involving the data encryption and decryption assembly(DLL) used on the connection string value that is set in the webconfig file. The problem occurs in the application when you instantiate a new instance of the class as shown below: ---Dim dp As DPAPIComp.DataProtectorComp = New DPAPIComp.DataProtectorComp--- where DPAPIComp is the name of the namespace referenced to in the library and DataProtectorComp is the class. This class contains the Encrypt and Decrypt function used to encrypt and decrypt the connection string pass to it. Below is the code responsing to the call above. (in the form of an assembly) using System; using System.EnterpriseServices; using System.Security.Principal; using System.Runtime.InteropServices; using DataProtection; namespace DPAPIComp { public class DataProtectorComp: ServicedComponent { public byte[] Encrypt(byte[] plainText) { DataProtector dp = new DataProtector( DataProtector.Store.USE_USER_STORE ); byte[] cipherText = null; try { cipherText = dp.Encrypt(plainText, null); } catch(Exception ex) { throw new Exception("Exception encrypting.

The DPAPI solution was built successfully. Would this indicate that there is some sort of permission being applied to the encryption/decryption call because I cannot connect to the server. How do I get it to instantiate this probably and be able to connect to the database. Cheers, Please note the same version works on the server but does not work on my local workstation.

    - Anonymous access - can't get rid of logon box Hi, I have turned Anonymous access on in IIS and I have enabled Anonymous access in WSS admin so that anonymous users can access the entire site. This is intened to be a public web site, but certain features require certain users to "sign in". So far so good. The issue is that when I go to the site, the logon box always appears. I can click cancel and navigate the entire site, but each mouse click brings up the logon box and another mouse click to cancel. Is this just an IE browser setting or is there something in IIS and/or WSS that requires more tweaking? Thanks, Mitch Tag: PDF & WSS Tag: 26707

    - Site Definition Mis-match I've created 5 custom site definitions. This all works great except for the creation of custom pages. (I've included the webtemp.xml file below.) For example, if there is a WSS site built on STSeBrndB (1005) and a user creates a new Web Part Page through the browser, they will get a page based on the STSeBrndL (1000) site definition. I've checked the pages in the ...\60\TEMPLATE\1033\STSeBrndB\DOCTEMP\SMARTPGS and they are correct. If I modify the files in ...\60\TEMPLATE\1033\STSeBrndL\DOCTEMP\SMARTPGS then the pages do alter their apperance accordingly even though the site is based on STSeBrndB (1005). This same problem will occur regardless of which of my custom templates the site is based upon. The custom pages will always follow the STSeBrndL (1000) site definition. All the other pages in the site work as expected. It's just the custom web part pages. Ideas? Here's my WEBTEMPeBranding.XML file contents (truncated on right) <Templates xmlns:ows="Microsoft SharePoint"> <Template Name="STSeBrndL" ID="1000"> <Configuration ID="71" Title="eBranding Light" Hidden="FALSE" ImageUrl="/_l... </Configuration> </Template> <Template Name="STSeBrndM" ID="1001"> <Configuration ID="72" Title="eBranding Medium" Hidden="FALSE" ImageUrl="/_... </Configuration> </Template> <Template Name="STSeBrndR" ID="1003"> <Configuration ID="73" Title="eBranding Rich" Hidden="FALSE" ImageUrl="/_la... </Configuration> </Template> <Template Name="STSeBrndA" ID="1004"> <Configuration ID="74" Title="eBranding Custom A" Hidden="FALSE" ImageUrl="... </Configuration> </Template> <Template Name="STSeBrndB" ID="1005"> <Configuration ID="75" Title="eBranding Custom B" Hidden="FALSE" ImageUrl="... </Configuration> </Template> </Templates> Tag: PDF & WSS Tag: 26694

    - WSS show the The Site does not exist when I try to delete a existing site Hello. how are you? I have a problem with Windows Sharepoint Services. It turns out that I created a first level site and now I want to erase it and cannot. I have tried from the administration pages of the own site, from the central administration page, also I have proved with the tool stsadm it, and the message of error is the same: the site does not exist /sites/2003, I do not believe that it has anything in common the fact that the name is a 2003, but I inform you. It looks that some incoherence has remained in the Database, because from the admnistration page, when I indicate the site that I want to eliminate, it shows me the information of the site on the Confirmation page: it shows the URL, the title and the description. But when you click the delte button, samples the message>> the Web does not exist "/sites/2003". Tag: PDF & WSS Tag: 26671

    - Fancy layouts like sharepointcustomization.com site I'm getting all mixed up with the lingo here but I've just realized that a Template is more like a determined set of webparts for a type of site (right?). And a Theme is like CSS and mostly only deals with fonts, colors, links. My question is--how do I create fancy layouts like the ones in the sharepointcustomization.com site or like the ones sold by Coras works. If these are templates, I still haven't been able to figure out how to create one after looking at all the usual articles on the Microsoft site and other internet articles. Can I create some kind of design in Frontpage with no webparts and save that as a template then create a Sharepoint site and apply it, and then insert webparts? Or do I create a Sharepoint site with blank template and then open it in Frontpage and muck around with the design in there? Basically if I designed something in pure HTML how can I use it for a Sharepoint site? Tag: PDF & WSS Tag: 26653

    - Document library "missing" pages I have set up a document library of web part pages on a WSS site that are actually pages with essenially Page Viewer web parts to show the contents of news articles from various sources. I added fields to the library to keep track of the source, date, and several categories that I can use for views. All of this works fine, but I find that some articles don't show up in the views or seem to drop out. For example, I created a new page last night for an article and I could see it listed on the WSS site and open it. I even did a copy of the category it was in, pasted it to FrontPage, and then copied to an E-mail message that I send to a group. This morning, I can still access the web part page via the E-mail links that I sent out last night and I can see it in the library in FrontPage, but it no longer appears in any view (all items and several views based on categories) in the document library. Can anyone please tell me what is going on here? The document still exists because I can display it via the link I saved last night, but it no longer shows up in any view. There are a little over 200 webpart pages like this in the library and I am not doing any filtering on the views that I displaying.

    - WSS Contacts List, linked to Outlook, sends bad attachments We have a Contacts list on a Windows SharePoint Services team web site. The list includes names and email addresses for all users on our local network. Users with Office 2003 Professional use the "Link to Outlook" button from the SharePoint Contacts list to get a linked copy of the list into Outlook. Outlook checks the linked copy of the list for addresses when users compose new messages. It's a great feature and it works. The problem is with attachments sent from an address taken from the linked Outlook Contacts. When sent to internal users who use Outlook, all is well. But some of our internal users use Lotus Notes. The same message, when sent to a Notes user, includes only an attachment called "Winmail.dat" which contains no useful information. The actual attachment is missing. More information: It appears that Outlook is trying use Rich Text Format to send messages to addresses taken from the SharePoint site. I think that's the specific behavior I'd like to change but I don't know how. Our email server is Lotus Domino. Outlook clients connect to it using POP3. We don't use Exchange. I don't think that's relevant but I thought I'd mention it, just in case. Any suggestions, ideas or help will be appreciated. Tag: PDF & WSS Tag: 26616

    - Versions with the smae time last midified Hello, how are you? I have a problem with versions of a SPFile object. I have an application that save files in a Document library of a WSS site. This document library allows versions. My problem happens when I save the second version. The TimeLastModified property of the old version is the same of the new version. My code is this: if(exists(archive)) { folder.Files[archive].CheckOut(); //In this moment the TimeLastModified is the old DataTime SPFile file = folder.Files.Add(archive,bsForDoc,true); //In this moment the TimeLastModified is the new DataTime carpeta.Files[archivo].CheckIn("My comment"); } What is the solution for update a new version? How can I preserve the correct properties of old versions? TIA, trallon Tag: PDF & WSS Tag: 26608

    - Sharepoint WebPart newbie question Hi I am new to sharepoint. I would like to create a webpart which sets alert for all types of lists configured in the current site. Could someone please point me to the right direction? Any notes or code snippets would be appreciated. Thanks, Ruf Tag: PDF & WSS Tag: 26604

I want to 1) be able to save pdfs from within Adobe to my WSS site, and 2)
to be able to open them in WSS by using a similar menu when opening an
office document. It seems that WSS is Office aware and offers me the choice
to open the document in Word, Excel, etc, but not for pdfs. For those I
have to just click on the link to open the pdf, then can't save it back to
the site.

Hi Jesslyn,

This functionality is not native in WSS as it only provides a menu for
Office formats (ppt, word, etc.). You can save PDFs from Adobe by using
the Network Places but you first need to setup a shortcut to your WSS
site.
