    - Cannot add webpart I set up a meeting subsite. I then clicked on the x for the tasks webpart. Oops. I cannot recover from this problem. I thought, at first, that I had merely deleted that webpart from the tasks homepage and could add it back. I couldn't find a way to do so. I eventually saw that "modify site content" page included several, by now, tasks webparts (tasks, tasks1, etc). Each time I had tried to add a new tasks webpart. I got a complaint of an error. I now have, according to "modify site content" one tasks webpart. How can I bring back the tasks section to be visible on the home page? Finally, how do I change the view of this webpart such that all tasks are visible throughout the meeting series? thanks Tag: HTML viewer install Tag: 3200

    - Incorrect error message on password change (AD) (Sorry for re-posting this, but no one answered the first time, and the original is probably older than anyone is going to look at.) We are running WSS in AD Account Creation mode. When a user changes his/her password through the Site Settings > Update my information > Change password page, the following error is sometimes generated: Error Error setting password for user account "DOMAIN\account". The password must be at least 7 characters, must contain capitals, numerals, or punctuation; and cannot contain the account or full name. Enter a password that meets these requirements in both text boxes. Troubleshoot issues with Windows SharePoint Services. The problem is, the password requirement is 8 characters, not 7. My first preference is to change the error message to say 8 instead of 7. Optionally, I can change the requirement to 7 characters (which I don't really want to do), but I'm not sure how to do that. Can I just change the Windows Security Policy on the AD domain controller? TIA. Tag: HTML viewer install Tag: 3198

    - A number in a Word property is not transferred to WSS We have a Word document with different properties. When we save a document in WSS - the alfanummeric ("text") properties (i.e. "F16" or "Report") are automatically transferred to a coloum with the same name in WSS. However if we create another property with the format number (i.e. 121212) nothing is shown within WSS (The coloum format is "number" in WSS as is the Word property format). Do you have any ideas?

    - Multiple line field in Document Libraries I have noticed a difference in behavior between the multiple line fields of a document library andother lists. In a document library, I am not allowed to save a record which has more then 255 characters of text in a multi line field. I have tried this on several document libraries on multiple servers. There seems to be no limit in the amount of text you can have in a multiple line field in other types of lists. I have also noticed that when adding or modifying a multiple line field in a document library, there is no choice to allow rich text editing. That choice exists in the properties in other lists. Can anyone confirm this behavior, and explain why there is this limit? I want to enable users the ability add their comments on a particular document, and this will severely limit that ability.

    - Data View Web Part Caching I'm using the dataview webpart to display RSS feeds. It works beautifully, but I'd like to know what the cache options actually do. I have it set to "Default" in the Miscellaneous section of the options for the web part and the cache time-out setting is 0 by default. What does this mean in practice? .... is the server downloading the RSS file every time the page is requested, or does it mean something else...... Also, I can't open pages with these webparts in Frontpage 2003 ("A web part or web form control on this web part page cannot be displayed or imported because it is not registered as safe on this site...." etc) Is there any documentation on this?

    - Installing DC after WSS has been installed means trouble ? Hello people, First of all: a very happy 2004 to you all ! Now, I had a Windows 2003 server installed with WSS on SQL 2000 working just fine (all on the same machine, together with IIS). For some specific reasons, I had to upgrade the machine and install active directory (make it a DC) at a later stage. This installation has "broken down" my WSS and I am having some trouble to get it back on line. I first got the "Service Unavailable" errors and cured this by selecting the right application pool on the virtual server in IIS (why was this changed during the DC-installation ?). However, once I go to my WSS home page, I always get a "You are not authorized to view this page" error, even if I'm loged on as the administrator on the server itself. I think the connection between WSS and SQL or at least the rights of the account that connects to the SQL-server got messed up somewhere along the road, since the initial settings in the "set configuration database server" of my WSS administration pages now gives me an "create database permission denied" error. I think I should be able to solve this by adding an account to the SQL WSS database (NT Authority/Network account ?) and set the correct rights to it, but I don't want to mess around with this before I'm sure. Also, if this is the case indeed, why do I need to do this ? Should I had the DC installed before installing SQL/WSS/DC/IIS ? If so, what would be the best thing to get this up-and-running ? I have no problem re-installing one of the above applications it this solves the problem, rather than messing around with accounts and maybe forgetting a couple of settings... Many thanks in advance for your advice ! Regards, Benoit. Tag: HTML viewer install Tag: 3100

    - reinstating mssql$sharepoint service I still have the problem from my original post (12/31/03 - can't connect to configuration database), and I'm wondering if (part of?) the problem is that I don't have the mssql$sharepoint service installed. However - If I attempt to reinstall msde, I get an invalid instance name error. I know that I can specify the instance name on the command line, but when I run setup with INSTANCENAME=SHAREPOINT, setup runs *almost* to completion, then silently fails. The application logs just say that installation failed with no additional information. Am I on the right path here. I've done nothing but read articles and try various things out for the last day and a half, but I'm no closer now than I was when I got into this mess. I'm installing sql server 2000 sp3 on this machine now, because I've tried everything else I can think of, and I'm hoping that will give me some more options. If anyone missed my original post, here's the summary: 1) Sharepoint was working great 2) I accidentally uninstalled msde 3) I tried reinstalling sharepoint (choosing repair) 4) Access requests result in "configuration database not found) The database is still there - I just don't know how to get them connected. If I attempt to access the server through the sharepoint admin site, I get an error that "the virtual server referenced here is not in the configuration database" - but I don't know how to get it there, nor do I know if it's the same or different problem.

    - Can't connect to configuration database on reinstall I was pointed here from the sts group. I debated titling this post "I'm an idiot" - because I sure feel like one. I was removing some old software from a server today, and accidentally uninstalled msde (I meant to select the item above msde in add/remove programs - feel free to make fun of me now). At that point, I probably *should* have just reinstalled msde, but I didn't notice the separate installation directory on the cd (this is sts 2.0 on server 2003). I reinstalled sharepoint, but now when I attempt to connect to the server, I get a "can't connect to configuration database" error. If I launch the administration pages on the server, and attempt to access the configuration pages for this virtual server, the config page can't be found. I've verified that the application pool is set properly in the IIS configuration for this web site, and I've also verified that the database it *should* be connecting to still exists. I'm willing to try anything to get this server back up. It's frustrating, because I think it shouldn't be that difficult... If it will help at all, I have an unused copy of SQL Server 2000 enterprise that I could install if the tools included with SQL would help me out. Any ideas? Tag: HTML viewer install Tag: 3030

    - Using text formula in default value for a field Hello: I can't seem to figure out how to set up a text field so that the default value (for new records) is a concatenation of other fields in the same record. In this case, I have a single-line text field called "Full Name," and three other single-line text fields called "First Name," "Last Name" and "Honorific". According to the online help that comes up when I click the "Show more information" link on the Change Column page, I should be able to enter as a "Calculated (default) Value" a formula such as: =[Honorific]&" "&[First Name]&" "&[Last Name] and have WSS enter "Dr. Victor Zhivago" in the Full Name field after I type in "Dr.", "Victor", and "Zhivago" in the other fields. But in fact, when I enter that formula, WSS returns the error: The formula contains reference(s) to field(s). Well, duh. I encounter similar problems when trying to use date formulas to create calculated default values. So WSS seems to evaluate functions involving other fields correctly if the target field is of type "Calculated Value" but it does not do so to create a default value for a target field that can be edited. Or am I missing something? Editing the properties of the list in Frontpage2003 doesn't work either. Am I missing something? Any suggestions? TIA, Wayt Tag: HTML viewer install Tag: 3028

    - Sharepint 2.0 and SQL Do SQL server and sharepoint have to be on the same server? I have just upgraded to SQL 2000 and would like to install it on a different server than where I have Sharepoint installed, since SQL will be handling more than just sharepoint. I found information on migrating the content data to a server farm, but I just want to migrate it to a different server. thanks -k Tag: HTML viewer install Tag: 3012

    - Solution Accelerator for Recruiting Hi, I am having a problem (a few, actually) with the Solution Accelerator for Recruiting. Is this the right newsgroup for that component? If not, can you direct me to the right one? My first problem is that I have installed the pilot and are in the testing steps of the documentation. In planning for an interview, I get prompted for user name/password and then a "You are not authorized to view this page" error when I try to plan an interview. I have tried the following troubleshooting steps to no avail: - grant all domain users permissions on the Interview_Data form - grant all domain users permissions on the equivalent inetpub\wwwroot folder - grant all domain users permissions on the \Program Files\Microsoft Solutions\Information Worker\Recruiting\Interview Management \Server Components\Web Services folder - if i enable anonymous access on the recruiting web (equivalent to http://recruiting:81) then I get to the page but then I run into a SQL error. Any ideas as to why my installation is failing? Thanks, Teresa Tag: HTML viewer install Tag: 2994

Just in case - you are aware that you can read MS Office documents from the
"sharepoint website" by installing Office Viewers on your clients if you
don't have office installed there ?

I.e. there is no need to go the HTML Viewer route unless you want to.

(Passing on the question itself as I have never used it)
