    - A little clarification on Office .DOC and .XLS files Hello, Mike Walsh suggested, in an older reply, that you should open a doc or xls file using the drop-down list and not just by clicking on the title showing in a shared document library (WSS). That's fine and how I've been doing it all along. But someone here wants an explanation as to why just a click on the link, which opens the doc xls in IE, can't then be edited and saved back to WSS. Anyone have a bit more input on this? Thanks, Rich Tag: Document Approval Tag: 19895

    - Deleted WSS Site I screwed up!!! While performing maintenance on another virtual server, I inadvertently deleted a WSS web site in IIS. I still have the application pool and SQL DB but I need to recover the web portion. This server was not being backed up since it wasn't "supposed" to be in production yet but some engineers decided to open it up to external vendors and put a lot of data on it. Any help would be greatly appreciated!! JVA Tag: Document Approval Tag: 19890

    - Quick Launch Bar and Template question Ok, as I mentioned in an earlier post, this is my first day trying to figure out SharePoint, so bear with me if these are simple questions. I went through a couple of tutorials that were recommended to me and I never saw anywhere that mentions how to edit the launch bar. Yes, I figured out how to add things, and then delete the things I've added, but how do you delete the "original" headings like Documents, Pictures, Lists, Discussions and Surveys? This is going to be for simple, non-technical users and to many choices are going to confuse them. Also, I went to the http://www.wssdemo.com/ and downloaded some of their templates, in a vain effort to reverse engineer their sites, and ran into a problem when I loaded them up. I can see them just fine, but I can't modify the home page at all. It says that there are either no web parts on the page or I don't have permission. Any help and suggestions is appreciated.

    - checkin/checkout-Edit Process for non office applications Hi how can i edit a non office application in sharepoint 2003. for eg: i have a crystal report stored in sharepoint. I checked in the file, then i open the file, it opens in read only mode. (but for office applications i can go for the "edit in ....." write mode and do the changes and checkin. that will the save the document.). how can i handle this in non office applications. i know there is a work around by choosing the explorer view and edit it and save. but is there any other way, the user can see the "edit in crystal report" (or any non office apps) and to open in write mode in that editor and do the changes and checkin in browser. any ideas appreciated.

    - Problems with linked files, Bug? I'm continuing to have problems with local versions of .doc files linked to workspace copies. The link to the workspace sometimes breaks -- not sure why, but it's no big problem, I can recreate it by opening the workspace copy, then saving it locally again and choosing the link option after save. *But* this technique stops working once there are 10 or more files in the workspace. For some reason, workspaces with lots of files don't support linked documents. Has anyone else seen this? Suggestions? Thanks, Jeff Tag: Document Approval Tag: 19883

    - Updates are currently disallowed on GET requests Hi, i need some assitance with the following problem. In a webapp, which does some list manipulation eg. delete i get the following error when calling the delete or update method of a list, but only when the current user is not an administrator. Error : Updates are currently disallowed on GET requests. To allow updates on a GET, set the 'AllowUnsafeUpdates' property on SPWeb. As you can see from the below code, I have set the AllowUnsafeUpdates Property. I don't really belive that this has anything to do with get or post, but more with access rights.. thanks and regards karsten Code: public bool Delete() { this.myWeb.AllowUnsafeUpdates = true; try { foreach (SPListItem item in _srSignatures.Values) { // exception is thrown on the first item here.. item.ParentList.Items.DeleteItemById(item.ID); } File.Item.ParentList.Items.DeleteItemById(File.Item.ID); _signRequests.Items.DeleteItemById(_liSignRequest.ID); } finally { this.myWeb.AllowUnsafeUpdates = false; } return true; } The Url to webapp could be the following: http://mucc23/sites/ECRv2/_layouts/signRequests/DeleteSignRequest.aspx?sr_id=59&returnUrl=http://mucc23/sites/ECRv2/Views/AllSignRequests.aspx The assembly of the webapp is in the assembly cache.

I have made a master web part whose UI is like this: a dropdown list which contains items such as Web part 1, Web part 2, ....

    - Windows 2000 Professional Cannot Access SharePoint via UNC Good day, We have installed WSS 2003 SP1 on Windows Server 2003. We created a host header 'websitename' so that users do not have to access the site via the 'servername.' The servername and the websitename are not the same. An 'A' record has been created in DNS pointing both servername and websitename to the same IP address. We can access a document library via the UNC path, i.e. \\website\libraryname. All Windows XP machines can access the share. However, all Windows 2000 Professional machines cannot access the share, returning an "invalid network path" error. The same user can login to a Windows XP machine and see the share; yet, the same user cannot see the share from a Windows 2000 Professional machine. All users and machines can see the document library via http://website/libraryname. All of the client machines have Office 2003 installed. Is this a known issue, isolated to Windows 2000 Professional? Is there a fix or a work-around available? -- Respectfully, Andrew Corley, MCSD, MCDBA, Master CIW Designer Tag: Document Approval Tag: 19828

    - App Root Authentication on Paths Below Virtual Server I have an App Root below the Sharepoint Virtual Server. I have added the App Root's path to the Excluded Paths list in the Managed Paths setup. I have also changed the trust level to "Full" in the App Root's web.config as well as added the .aspx httpHandlers entry required to get the pages to work. General ASP.Net pages seem to work, but the one thing that does not appear to work is the Forms Authentication defined in the App Root's web.config. Basically it doesn't get enforced redirecting the user to the login page. My guess is that the sharepoint domain authentication is somehow causing the App Root to believe its already authenticated but that is just a guess. I understand that I can install sharepoint somewhere else on the same server, but I would rather keep this structure. Is this possible or is the SharePoint domain authentication going to override the app root regardless of configuration? Thanks, Kyle Tag: Document Approval Tag: 19824

They can access a survey, but when they click on Respond to Survey, their systems just hang. As far as I know, they are have the same set up we do, same desktop load, same network access, same firewall. But something is obviously different. The survey works just fine for everyone else.

    - How to turn off authentication in an unmanaged folder? I've got a WSS site with a couple unmanaged folders containing ASP.NET applications. In one of those folders I want to allow anonymous users to open an XML file from Excel, but when they try they get prompted for a username/password. The file is at: http://www.usingsharepoint.com/excel/excelobjects.xml I assume the problem is occurring because Excel requests read/write access when it opens the file and somehow WSS is intercepting that request even though the /excel folder is excluded from WSS management. I tried changing web.config in /excel, but no luck. I also tried changing the authentication settings in IIS for the /excel app. This used to work back when the root site was plain ASP.NET. I thought excluding the path would make requests act that way again. Is this a bug? -- Jeff Tag: Document Approval Tag: 19763

    - FP2003 and Windows XP? Hi.... maybe a silly question, but I can't find the answer on the web or in the WSS FAQ. I have a dev server running Windows Server 2003 and FrontPage 2003. I can open and modify WSS sites without any problem. On my laptop, I am running Windows XP and FrontPage 2003. I can open a WSS site in FrontPage, but I cannot do things like convert data views to XSLT views, and other functionality seems to be limited. Is there any way to configure XP/FP2003 to allow full-functionality editing of WSS sites? Thanks in advance, Keith Tag: Document Approval Tag: 19743

    - signup page in extranet Hello I have Sharepoint Services setup in Active Directory Creation Mode. I now want users from the Internet to be able to set themselves up into sharepoint, similar to sharepointsite.com. Are there any tools / pages that exsist to do something like this? I have an asp page that can create users in the AD, but I would like something more specific like sharepointsite, where you have to register and then sharepoint works out the username and password and e-mails all the details. There must be something available surely?! Thanks :) Tag: Document Approval Tag: 19740

    - Inconsistent returns from spcontrol when requesting view I have coded up a web part to access a list based on a view within the users context. variable _reportList = list name SourceView = view name Sample code: Dim myWeb As SPWeb = SPControl.GetContextWeb(Context) Dim srcList As SPList = myWeb.Lists(_reportList) Dim srcViewGuid As Guid = srcList.Views(SourceView).ID Dim srcView As SPView = srcList.GetView(srcViewGuid) When this code is executed against a new list it returns the views query and the correct columns. When this code is executed against a list that was created by the same user over 2 months ago it keeps returning a set of columns that do not match any defined view and a query that does not seem to be defined in any view anywhere. Any ideas why I can't seem to get the correct view on older views using the above code? Any help would be appreciated. Doug Norvell Tag: Document Approval Tag: 19736

Testing out document approval. Seems to work ok but have a question about
certain behaviour.
A document called test.doc exists in a document library that requires
approval and with versioning enabled.
I'd like to create behviour where any new version of a document that gets
created by "on server" editing, or by upload will;
1) Create a new version that also
2) Requires apprval.

I can't seem to get this to work. Am I missing something here. I am logged
in with Administrator rights.
