    - Need help with "User does not exist" error Alan Cox asked this question on 12/7/03 and Andrew Couch asked it again on 1/8/04 but I haven't found any useful responses so here's to hoping the third time's a charm... On the add user screen I add a user in the format domain\login, set the access level (e.g. reader) and click OK. On the next page (step3-confirm users and step4-send email) the full details of the user are displayed, i.e. the email address and display name is displayed so it would seem that the LDAP query to Active Directory was successful. However, clicking on Finish yields the error "the user does not exist". It seems that several people have run into this error in the past. If you are one of them, PLEASE email me (and post here) the resolution. Thanks in advance, Bill Richmond Bill.Richmond@ngc.com Tag: Web Folders Tag: 20670

    - Meta-lists accessible from different sites? Is there any way of creating lists that could be accessed throughout different sites at different levels? Similar way 'User Information' is accessible as a 'Lookup' column Here's the deal. We have product 'functional areas' and we want to be able to create lists on different sites in our organization with reference to them. Functional areas have associated contact persons for Product Management, QA, Dev, etc. and architectural components. We'd like these functional areas (and their meta-data) to be managed in a centralized place. I wound't mind having to maintain these 'meta-lists' elsewhere (Active directory?) but want to make sure they're centralized. Any ideas? l8r, Nicopa Tag: Web Folders Tag: 20669

    - WSS Backup / Restore Options This question may be too advanced for most, but I thought I would give it a shot: We have an existing site on a Windows 2003 Server running the latest WSS. It is not running in Active Directory Account Creation Mode. We would like to run our server in Active Directory Account Creation Mode. Also, our disk array is quickly running out of room, so we must create a new build of our operating system enviornment anyway. What is the easiest or suggested method of backing up our WSS enviornment so that we may run AD Account creation mode and restore it on a new server? Thanks in advance. Tag: Web Folders Tag: 20664

    - Upgrade to WSS I have a Sharepoint Team Services site I need to upgrade to WSS. The Sharepoint Team site is using a MS SQL database server on backend. I know that I need to use smigrate to backup the STS site and import it to the new WSS site. Do I point the new WSS server at the existing STS database or do I create a new database for the WSS site? If I create a new database, do I need to copy the data from the STS database or is that what smigrate is doing for me? Thank You! Tag: Web Folders Tag: 20662

    - Create a Survey and pass parameter to prepopulate a field? We offer training classes and we want to offer surveys with Sharepoint web that we have. Though we don't want to have to have the user type in some of the info we need. We want to send them a link that has some of that info in it already. So it would be cool if I could use the same survey, buy pass it the class ID, Something like this. http://surveyit.ourdomain.com/Lists/class1/NewForm.aspx?classID=1234 Is there a way I can take that value passed in from the URL and prepopulate one of the items on the Survey? Is there a way I can use a Calculated text field to get data from the URL or DB? I'm open to other suggestions too... Thanks, Scott<- Tag: Web Folders Tag: 20657

    - Bypass Login, Revisited WSS on Win2K3 Server. I just converted to WSS from a simple FrontPage Server Extensions 2 setup and am having a difficult time with my public web site. Users visiting the web site are prompted with the "Enter Network Password" with Username, Password and Domain boxes. I think it is down to an anonymous authentication issue. I have ensured that IIS has Anonymous authentication enabled and the IUSR_computername account is set up for read access, however, in the MS instructions for SP I also need to complete the steps below. The only problem is that I don't know the EXACT steps to complete steps 1 & 2 below. Can someone help me find the way? >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> From Microsoft SS Support: Enabling Anonymous Access "If you want to allow anonymous access (such as for an Internet site), you must enable anonymous access by assigning rights to the anonymous user (DONE!). To enable anonymous access, you must first be sure that IIS is configured to allow anonymous access (also DONE), and then on the Site Administration pages for your Web site, you can enable anonymous access (THIS is my problem!) Enable anonymous access for a top-level Web site 1. On your site, click Site Settings. (What do they mean by "On your site" - using what tool do I do this? I can't find the "Site Settings" to click on) 2. Under Administration, click Go to Site Administration. (Again, I think if I knew what "tool" to use and HOW to access it in step 1, I could complete this task!!) 3. On the Site Administration page, under Users and Permissions, click Manage anonymous access. 4.

    - Categorizing events - need system to group by I am very pleased with what I can do with the standard WSS events list. I have added some additional fields and I can then create views that group by the data in these additional fields. Now what I want to be able to do is indicate a number of categories for a single event and find a way to group by them in a view. For example, an event listing for a city commission meeting might have agenda items that affect several neighborhoods. I'd like to be able to indicate which neighborhoods it affects and then create a view that lists event by neighborhoods with agenda items, which would be very useful to neighborhood residents. I can indicate a single neighborhood with a field and a drop down menu and then group by this field, but it doesn't give me what I need. If I add a field call neighborhood with checkboxes, allowing multiple items to be checked, then this field with multiple possible values is not listed in the column names that I can search by. I'd like to know if there is a way to do what I'd like to do. Thanks! Bill Patterson UW-Madison School of Business Tag: Web Folders Tag: 20652

    - User Control inside a Web Part Hi, I have created a webpart that loads an ascx control using the command: oEditControl = Page.LoadControl(@"AppMonitor.ascx"); The sharepoint site that I have is not the default web site on the server but I have created the web part library project under the root directory of this site. I have also added the ascx control to the web part library, however when I import the webpart into the Web Part gallery it does not use the copy from the project but rather the copy in: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\60\TEMPLATE\LAYOUTS_new\1033 If I add the web part to a web part page then I get the error: System.IO.FileNotFoundException: C:\<websitename>\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\60\Template\1033\TISSL\doctemp\smartpgs\AppMonitor.ascx How do I get sharepoint to load the ascx file from the right location? I have tried adding virtual directories but this hasn't helped. Perhaps, I am doing this wrong if this is where the problem lies. Has anyone any ideas? Cheers, Wayne. Tag: Web Folders Tag: 20638

EigenSearch processing will apply eigenvector math and Jacobian matrices to construct search terms that are tailored to your exploration. Cross-pollination is also applied as described below. The eigenvector approach is clearly highly advanced and would normally be useful for very sophisticated applications. Nevertheless, anyone may utilize the method. An advanced form is simply a matrix in which the user types words and phrases randomly in a multi-cell form (please click thumbnail to view). Advanced features EigenOperator (cross pollination) and eigenvector constructs Cross document content pollination within every web site directory tree (unlike conventional search engines and tools eigenSearch checks for your terms and phrases and drills down though multiple directory documents) EigenSearch cross-pollination is applied to documents within the same (tree) level in a URL (peer documents). Thereby limiting the amount of contamination of results Illustration: "Blood Hounds" + "English Breed" will present documents that contain either of these phrases within the same peer level in a document storage structure; for example, within the directory: www.smartdogs/hounds. eigenSearch limits pollinating occurrences outside a peer level. For example; "blood hounds" + "English breed" found in two different directories would not report an eigenSearch result: i.e. "Blood hounds" found in www.smartdogs/hounds and "English Breed" found in. www.smartdogs/hounds/Europe would not be found. EigenSearch therefore searches one tree (peer) level in a site and looks for multiple occurrences of multiple phrases across all documents within this peer level. Corporate products can be tailored to drill down infinite levels for eigenOperator (cross-pollinating operator) matching. eigenSearch single phrase results will find all documents and show the results as independent findings. This way the user can find results across many documents and the combined highly constrained results are reserved for a single level cross pollination. Extremely high (cross-pollinating) eigenValues will correspond to finely granular and refined search explorations. Beta users receive the following features: Login and password Save search constructs for later use in your own personal construct tables EigenOperator (cross Pollinating Operator) advanced features as described above (eigenvector to follow) Database (Table) upload and eigenvector computations EigenSearch seeks 300,000 beta testers for its advanced eigenOperator based cognitive engine. This engine will allow for a multiplicity of search parameters for users to select so as to mathematically narrow results. The system will employ eigenVectors, eigenValues and eigenMatrices to determine relevance to user searches; thereby rendering high fidelity confirmed search results. Naturally the computational power for doing such math is why beta testers are required. Each tester is welcome to comment on user friendliness, speed, change and ergonomic elegance. It is an eigenSearch goal to continue advancing the user interface so as to remain intuitively simple to use while at the same time providing hi-fidelity explorations. All beta testers will receive a login and password, which provides entry into features for saving search constructs and parameters according to their own classification approach. Saved results and parameters can be used at any time and modified to alter search results. Beta users will be able to import their own data sets (2-dimentional) and perform an eigenValue analysis. <r<p_ Tag: Web Folders Tag: 20625

    - outlook doesn't update after restore In the process of testing out the backup and restore of the Sharepoint Services I noticed that whenever I restore a backup, any changes that were made to things such as calendar or contacts do not change in Outlooks 2003's items that were linked to the sharepoint. I tried to refresh the calendar and the contacts in the Outlook, but that didn't help. The only way to see the current changes that were restored after the backup restore in the Outlook was to delete the contacts/calendar items in Outlook and relink them again in the Sharepoint page. Does anyone know if there is a way to keep the contacts/calendar in outlook up-to-date after backup restore?? Thank you. Tag: Web Folders Tag: 20615

    - Merging WSS Data Sources I need a list that displays its own data plus data from a Project Server, and it should look like a single WSS list. It would look something like this: Project Name | Phase | Owner | Comments ------------------------------------------ Proj 1 | Test | Fred | Some text Proj 2 | Code | Ted | Text ... The "Project Name" and "Phase" data will come from Project Server, while the "Owner" and "Comments" data will come from a WSS list. Has anyone done anything like this? Any suggestions? My thought is to create a web service that will query Project Server and WSS, and return the merged data as XML. Then I'd have a Data View consume the web service. Before I start down this path, I want to make sure WSS and FrontPage don't already provide some way to merge data sources. Cheers, Josh Tag: Web Folders Tag: 20606

    - Justifying the more complex use of WSS to store shared documents I originally posted this in .sharepoint.teamservices group, it really belongs here: I find myself in the position of justifying the use of WSS and storing documents through our WSS intranet rather than simply as files on shared directories. Now, I love WSS and the whole integration with .net and SQL server thing, but I am hard pressed to explain how this is the better solution, especially when a simple intranet can be developed with notepad and files in shared folders w/NTFS permissions for *much* less cost. I'm not trolling here, I really need to generate some info for a report to justify the expense and time to upgrade our intranet. Other than being "really cool" for us technoids, what are the solid, substantial benefits? I am likely to post counter-arguments matching those I will have to entertain as I justify the project. I invite responses to my email below, also.

    - Link Discussion with List We have setup a list with multiple fileds mostly dates fileds to track our orders through our production flow. So as our work goes through each stage the person performing the work updates his date field or column. 2 things we would like to do are be able to alerts based on changes in a specific column, and als, setup maybe a linked discussion board, the would function in a way that as each person does their part they can add a little note or comment. This is so that anybody can go back and see the whole process evolve, and comments at each stage. I know anything is possible but just curious if anyone has ideas on how to go about this, maybe with linking webparts it's easier then I think. Thanks Steve Tag: Web Folders Tag: 20593

    - Is SharePoint Applicable? I am not an expert in SharePoint. I am a real-time, embedded, C programmer. My client has a problem that, in my experience, fits well into a familiar framework (client/server) using list views and dialog boxes. However, there is some external pressure to use SharePoint to solve my client's problem. My client will gather experts to perform a requirements analysis. The steps include: 1. Identify requirements - collaborative effort performed by individuals. 2. Prioritize requirements - private voting with the results recorded by individual. 3. Refine and reprioritize requirements - collaborative effort performed during a group meeting. 4. Identify solutions to the requirements - collaborative effort performed by individuals. 5. Validate solutions - private effort on the part of individual experts. 6. Prioritize solutions - private voting with the results recorded by individual. 7. Refine and reprioritize solutions - collaborative effort performed during a group meeting. Although there appear to be some questions regarding versioning and check out, I can see steps 1, 3, 4, 5, and 7 as being within a possible SharePoint solution. However, steps 2 and 6 are not collaborative in nature; they are strictly private and not shared between participants. The results of the voting are recorded by individual and averaged with the resulting average driving the following step. It is this sense of privacy and individuality that raises the issue of SharePoint applicability. Prior to being advised of SharePoint, I was planning to collect individuals' votes from pointer arrays. How to perform the same type of action in SharePoint is beyond my experience. So, to the SharePoint experts who so graciously share their experience in this newsgroup, is SharePoint a reasonable solution to my customer's problem? Thanks in advance. -- Gus Gustafson Tag: Web Folders Tag: 20591

    - Public, Department & Individual document libraries, all on one page How would I implement this functionality using WSS and a sharepoint portal? : (1) Three groups of users: DeptA, DeptB and DeptC. (2) Each department would maintain 2 types of document libraries: Private (maintainable within department) and Public (readable by other departments). (3) Individuals could maintain their own document libraries (maintainable only by themselves) (4) When an individual accesses "mysite", the following document libraries are displayed: - Individual's own document libraries (maintainable) - appropriate Department's Private document libraries (maintainable) - appropriate department's Public document libraries (maintainable) - other departments' Public document libraries (readable) (5) An individual can belong to more than one department All suggestions, tips and pointers are most welcome.

    - Version History on a custom list I am creating a custom list in WSS where I also want to enable version history. I have attempted to modify the existing issues template with its inbuilt revision history but my site crashes when I reuse this due to intergration with Project Server. So to ask the question, does anyone know a method for creating a custom list with version history? Thanks Adam Tag: Web Folders Tag: 20567

    - ANOTHER Doc Lib Problem Hi All Have searched all groups, and cannot find the exact match to my problem. I have a client with WSS, and a doc lib with MANY properties.. ie 30, for each document. Problem is around uploading a revised document. They do not have Office 2003, so want to Checkout, download, edit, Checkin. They want to have an option to upload revised doc, keeping all properties formerly entered for the doc, ( or have option for change )..They do not want to create properties with the docs, ie Word Custom, and not all docs are Word.. some Corel, some CAD drawings etc. So, looking for a customised upload.aspx, but linked to existing doc to grab properties already set...make sense ? This is a really show stopper for them. Im thinking I may need to create a custom page, and was hoping that someone had some experience in doing this. Thanks in advance for help Andrew Tag: Web Folders Tag: 20565

    - Customize Alerts Can I set up alerts based on data in a field? For example, if I added a priority column to a document library and made it required, could I set up an alert for only high priority documents? Tag: Web Folders Tag: 20561

    - External user login prompt Everytime an external user clicks on a office document they are prompted for their username and password. Is there a way to not have them prompted for a username and password everytime they open a document? Also is there a way to get rid of the open document prompt? Where the prompt states " Some files can harm your computer. If the file information looks suspicious or you do not fully trust the source, do not open the file. You are opening the following file: File name: from:" Thanks, Jackson Tag: Web Folders Tag: 20558

I've noticed that some web folders to document libraries on my WSS sites are
"automatically" created in my Network Places. (I'm running Win XP SP1,
Office XP SP2, Infopath 2003 and IE 6.0) I assumed they were created when I
uploaded files into the document library and/or when I created a "New
Document" and saved it to the document library. However, I tested that
"theory" and have found it to be inconsisent, thus inconclusive. So, my
question is, how are web folders created? Any insight to clarify would be
most appreciated!
Thanks!
