    - Trying to input a chart based on list numbers I am not a developer. I have been tasked, however, to create a chart that looks something like one of those thermometer type of gauges that charities use to illustrate how much money they have taken in vs. their goal. In our case, we are migrating systems to AD all over the world. Management does not want to open all the regional lists to check status. These lists keep a running total as we enter a completion date each day. I have tried to use an excel spreadsheet, but I can't get it to save the results entered by everyone and it was a second manual entry for our engineers who extra data entry. Has anyone created such an animal before? It seems like a common enouh type of request. Any advice would be graciously accepted. Let me know if I haven't been clear about the requirements. Thanks and have a great weekend. Tag: Host headers Tag: 38198

    - Currency in Sharepoint Lists Hi There, I need to provision for a currency field in a Sharepoint list - the problem is however, that the currency that i would like to use is not available for selection in the currency drop-down list (the currency is Uganda Shillings - UGX). Is there anyway to extend these lists, and to add extra currencies in there? I have also changed the Regional Settings on the server to reflect the correct currency but this did not have any effect on the availability of this currency in the drop-down list. Thanks!

    - Error accessing drop down menus I am using Microsoft Small Business Server, Microsoft Office 2003 and Windows XP on all my client computers. I created a timesheet list that uses drop down menus to â??look upâ?? information from other lists. I load this in Outlook 2003 by creating a new folder in the mail section. Then setting the homepage of the folder to the url of the employee's timesheet in Sharepoint. Some computers can access it fine. Of these there are two desktops directly connected to the server, one desktop remotely connected to the server (http connection). On certain computers (including two laptops remotely accessing the url via http or vpn, one desktop remotely connected via http and one desktop directly connected to the server). When a user tries to use a drop down there is no data in the list, it is completely blank. Then, if the user clicks the â??refresh dataâ?? option in the sharepoint window an an error message pops up saying: â??The datasheet view is attempting to retrieve data from a different domain. You will be redirected to an error page. Contact your system administrator to resolve this error.â?? When the user clicks â??OKâ?? the page changes to another sharepoint page titled â??Errorâ?? and has the following message: â??The list cannot be displayed in Datasheet view for one or more of the following reasons: A datasheet component compatible with Windows Sharepoint Services is not installed, your browser does not support ActiveX controls, or support for ActiveX controls is disabled.â?? If I then select â??Homeâ?? on the sharepoint menu, then select â??Documents and Listsâ??, then select the timesheet I was trying to use, the drop down lists now become available. Why does it take the refresh and re-opening the list for the drop down menu data to appear? How can I fix this problem? Thank you, Tracy Tag: Host headers Tag: 38187

    - Alerts triggered by a view Hello, I have a document library setup. Within that library, I have custom colums created. For example, when a user uploads a document, they have to choose a status which includes Final, Draft, or Pending Review. I created a custom view within that library to display only those documents that are labeled Pending Review. What I would like to accomplish is have a email be sent using alerts whenever a user submits a document that its status is Pending Review. I tried creating an alert on the view that shows only the pending review docs but that is not possible. It will report on the whole library. Any Suggestions? Tag: Host headers Tag: 38182

    - Always a dillema... Filter value for all items? Hi everybody! I know this was already discussed in the past, and I deeply apologize if I've missed it. There is more and more need for filtering by multiple parameters but not always. So is there some value that would "reset" filter in field to ALL? Something like * or % in SQL? I'd really appreciate if someone could help me with this. If we can set up that WSS is using logical parameters (and, or) in search, I believe this can also be somehow possible.

    - Document properties not updating the library metadata I thought I new the mechanism for Office document properties and the way Document library metadata is updated but this one is foxing me .. If I create a new document from the 'New Document' link in the library, i.e. use the template; save the document and populate some metadata from the dialogue box that appears; When I return to the library, none of the properties have been updated, not even mandatory ones. Now if I edit the document and look at the properties in Word - They are still there - fully populated!, and if I try again to change them they do not get updated in the library. If I use any other method to add a document to the library, everything is fine ?!? i.e. use the Upload feature to add a document then play with the properties it is as expected. Even adding the properties to the template doesn't seem to help. Help! what am I doing wrong ? Tag: Host headers Tag: 38143

    - Correct userinfo in WSS workspace I have implemented Project Server 2003, and have just rolled out to users. An administrator of a Project WSS workspace added a user through the "Manage Users" navigation, but inadvertently added the user with the wrong domain info, the admin got the e-mail address correct for the new user and the display name. In order to correct the mistake I have removed the user from the Workspace and tried re-adding him with the correct data. Problem is when the user shows up in the users list he shows as still having the worng domain (and of course the user can't access the site). I went poking around in the STS database and found the user information in a table named UserInfo. The user shows up twice in this table, once for each domain. I think this is causing the user to not be able to access even other WSS workspaces, even though in these other workspaces when the user was added, he was added the first time with the correct domain info. Maybe the double entry is confusing the system But how can I clean it up? Please help! Tag: Host headers Tag: 38124

    - Can I receive an email so that I know there is something to approve? I have set up an Issues List in WSS and have the "content approval" flag set to yes. When a user posts an issue is shows up properly as "pending", but unless I look every day I wouldn't know that there are pending items. In most cases an administrator enters the items in the list, so their items always show as approved... This works fine and I wouldn't want an email to go out on this since no one needs to approve. Does the Issues List provide functionality to send out an email when a pending item is submitted? Are there other ways to make this happen? Thanks for your help IAN Tag: Host headers Tag: 38121

    - FAILURE installing WSS with Active Directory auth I asked a question about setconfigdb (on Nov. 7), got no replies. I'm REALLY stuck. I'm trying to use stsadm to create configdb and use options for AD account creation. I always get the unhelpful message, "SQL Server 2000 Service Pack 3 or later is required", but of course my SQL Server has SP4. Can someone please tell me what options I should use for stsadm? I have: Windows 2003 Server as a domain controller and host of SQL Server 2000 SP4 and Active Directory. All service packs current. Windows 2003 Server as SharePoint host, nothing else installed. It appears the SP install is OK (yes, I used remotesql=yes). The application pool for admin site is running, and I followed instructions for user accounts - local admin as well as admins in AD. But I had to add STSFLTR manually to the ISAPI filter list for Default Web Site (probably because I installed remotesql=yes). But when I get to "stsadm -o setconfigdb ..." that's when I get the stinkin' SQL error. Again, what options should I be using? I didn't use -du -dp, because I've never seen an example where -du -dp are used. I assumed I had setup admin users correctly to handle the tasks ... but maybe I should specify user/passwd? Unfortunately can't try this now, and can't messages from work (Passport login is blocked!). -- ----- Glenn Nelson in Santa Cruz Tag: Host headers Tag: 38053

Hi all,

Does anyone know if host header-enabled web sites in IIS supported by
WSS/SPS? I know it works at first glance, but who knows...

Any help will be greatly appreciated,

Yes. I have over 70 WSS sites setup. All use host headers. I have a mix of
unique IP and "All Unassigned" because SSL would not work properly with "ALL
Unassigned" until IIS 6 SP1. But in either case, it works.
