    - Creating Links to Files on Hard Drives Thanks for reading my post. As a new user I have managed to get Winserver 2003 loaded and WSS up and working . With that said I have a need to create links to files that reside on an external hard drive attached to the server that is running WSS. I'm running the Desktop version of SQL and have roughly 40 gig of data that needs to be available (doc's, images, spreadsheets...etc). My vision is simple...something like the "Documents Libary " with the excpetion that it has a link to the file on the external drive...not uploaded to the SQL database.

    - WSS installed without removing FPSE first - fixup options? It wasn't me! But now I have to clean up the situation. This is highly annoying because FPSE isn't even being used by anything. So I uninstalled FPSE after the fact. I noted that FPSE lingered on in the IIS web server extensions (even after an iisreset). I tried upgrading the virtual server anyway as per popup instructions (stsadm -o upgrade), but got the message "Cannot upgrade virtual server http://myserver/. Windows SharePoint Services does not support in-place upgrading of SharePoint Team Services v. 1.0 from Microsoft or FrontPage Server Extensions. You must migrate the content from this virtual server to a new virtual server extended with Windows SharePoint Services." I don't have spare ip addresses for new virtual servers, so hoping for another workaround. Any suggestions? Would a stsadm forceupgrade succeed without breaking everything? Ideally I'd like to avoid reinstalling WSS. Ta in advance David (Win2K3 server, WSS 60, FPSE 5.02.5012) Tag: Link to documents Tag: 42652

    - Question about adding .net 2.0 to existing 2003 server with WSS Hi all I have a 2003 server with all the latest MS patches Running WSS with SP2 and SQL 2000 enterprise with SP4. I also have a second non WSS site running on the same server. I am planning on installing .net 2.0 and SQL 2005 Express for the second site. The WSS site will remain as is with .net 1.1. My quesiton is if I do install the .net 2.0 and sql express 2005 will that cause any issues to my existing WSS setup? Thanks a bunch for any tips or advice. -- Flanman Tag: Link to documents Tag: 42644

    - Possible to restore WSS site or list to different Virt server? OK so we're in the "proof of concept" stage deciding how best or if at all to use WSS or plunging into SPS for our company. This explains why we haven't hired anyone who knows what their doing. For now I'm "the guy" even though I'm a network security guy. (funny huh?) I blew away telecom's WSS site by accident. Its not a huge deal since no one's been given the official "go" to start using WSS in production anyways. But they had some calendering and contact lists I'd like to get back if possible. I restored the file structure originally at c:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions to my home drive. But where the heck is telecom's site? Shouldn't it be in a default.aspx or .xml file somewhere deeper in the path? Is what I describe even possible? I want to restore their site or at least their calendar and contacts to my new telecom WSS site. Tag: Link to documents Tag: 42630

    - WSS backup procedures Hi, I would like to backup a WSS site running on SBS2003 and have referred to the WSS administrator's guide but am still confussed as to the best way to accomplish this. Is using the stsadm.exe tool the recommended way? If so, can you provide script or instructions on how to best run this tool. I have tried several ways from the examples in the admin guide without success. I would like to backup the complete site daily. The site is using MDBE not SQL server DB. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Neal... Tag: Link to documents Tag: 42629

    - shortcut to website in document library Hello everyone, This has been a problem that has perplexed me and now it isn't working at all. My users want to be able to access a website address from a document library. The way I did it in the past is to go to the url, and drag and drop the .url file into the doc library. This latest time I tried, it is pulling up the website, which is a framed site, with no content in the frames, just 'page cannot be found errors'. I tested the .url file by clicking on it from my desktop and it works fine. What is the best way to do what I am trying to do? Besides using a list instead of a doc library, because I have to have a doc library. Tag: Link to documents Tag: 42592

    - Unable to login to WSS All, I am using windows 2003 Standard SP1. I installed WSS 2.0. I'm pretty sure it is SP2, how can I check that? (I used stsv2.exe to install.) On this server when I access the site (logged onto server as administrator) I get into the home page without being prompted for username and password. I then added users via the: site settings/ Manage users/ Add users and was able to add user, when I go to my laptop and try to logon as newly added user, (domain\username and password) when I click ok at the prompt it just acts like it wants me to put in the password again, after the 3rd try it gives me the "You are not authorized to view this page" error. In IIS under my Sharepoint website properties, Directory Security, I have it set for "Integrated Windows authentication". I have read many of the related articles, but I'm not sure exactly where the login is failing. Any help is greatly appreciated. Happy Friday! -- Thanks for your help.

    - Email and Sharepoint services Hi. I have started to use SharePoint and it doesn't send any e-mail. The address of the smtp server is right and the from and to address e-mail is right too. So, for example, when I allow a new user to use a virtual SharePoint server, it is not possible to send an e-mail to this user. I see that when I set an e-mail account in Outlook I have to enter the username and password, but in SharePoint there is no way to enter a username and password. Is it necessary for the SharePoint to send e-mails to put the username and password in somewhere? Regards, M.G. Tag: Link to documents Tag: 42559

    - Uploading a document using frontPage RPC increase document version Hi I am using the "put document" RPC method to programatically save a document. Everytime I save the document it increases the document version.The SDK shows 2 sets of put_options values, named "overwrite,createdir,migrationsemantics" and the other "edit". If I try with the edit option, then the document is not saved. Can some one help me with the edit option and what it does, It seem that the sdk do not shows to much about it.

    - Email script or web part? Flash in sharepoint wants to send email. Hi, I have a Flash module in a Sharepoint dashboard that I would like to trigger an email script. Searching Flash newsgroups there are plenty of examples with using PHP or even Perl scripts that Flash could pass the email parameters to (to, from, body, and subject). Is there a readily available web part or builtin email script that I can access within a sharepoint dashboard that I could send email parameters to from a Flash module? Thank you, Thomas Tag: Link to documents Tag: 42522

    - Coveo SharePoint Search returns no results Hi, We are trying out Coveo to improve the searching capabilities within a document database within WSS (SharePoint Services). Although the Admin tool reports around 3000 documents indexed, searches never return any results. We have SBS 2003 SP1, SQL Server2000 SP4 with text indexing activated. Any ideas?

    - IE 'hang' problem with WSS. WSS as part of Project Server 2003...I have several users who experience an Internet Explorer 'hang' when they try to open a document that's been uploaded to the WSS Documents portion of Project WEB Access. The browser becomes non-functional when it's trying to launch MS Word to open the document. Invoking 'Task Manager' reveals 'Project Server 2003' "not responding" and 'end task' is invoked. While in this state a new IE browser can be launched and/or word itself can be launched. No messages are generated in the application event log. To make matters worse this problem is not consistent from user to user. Often a user can reboot and successful open documents for a short while. Once the 'hang' condition occurs, it will occur at every attempt until another reboot is done. Operating System is Windows2000professional, with Office 2003 Standard edition which MS says should work just fine except using the 'edit in datasheet' function which requires Office Professional. I'm at a loss here. Any help or suggestions or guidance about where to research will be VERY appreciated. Has anyone heard of this or had experience with anything similar. Thanks, -- Mark Byington, PMP Tag: Link to documents Tag: 42517

    - Users gaining access to Sharepoint Intranet We use sharepoint with a small network which includes 5 people within an office, and three people who access our server via VPN. All members are shown as users with AD on SBS2003 server We now have three other users who need to access the Sharepoint Intranet. These three are not members of our AD, and are external to our companby and network. Is there a way to set them up as users for the Sharepoint Intranet, but without having them as users on our network? Also what url would these three users use, would they need to have VPN access or can they simply use http://IPaddress/companyweb? Thanks Alex Tag: Link to documents Tag: 42507

    - Infopath and Sharepoint Hi, When I submit an Infopath form to a sharepoint form library it works as expected. When I go to the form library to open the submitted form, I click on the link and an internet explorer window opens with nothing in it. Next I tried uploading a saved form and and when I clicked on the link the same thing happened - a blank internet explorer window. I have a document library with many Word documents in it that I uploaded and when I click on the link they open in Word. I tried changing the file association in folder options to have xml files open with infopath and the same results occurred. My client is running XP sp2 Infopath sp2. Sharepoint services 2.0 is on Windows Server 2003. How do I get the form to open in Infopath when I click on the link without using the drop down on the side and choosing edit in infopath?

    - How to access the meeting date from a list in a meeting workspace Hi! I am working with a template for a meeting workspace. In this workspace one webpart will be an action list where the actions decided at the meetings will be listed. In one view in this webpart I want to be able to show only the actions with due date on the actual meeting date. Example; You create several meetings. In each meeting the action list will be reviewed so this will be a series list that covers all meetings. On each item in the list there will be a due date and in one view the users shall be able to see only the action points which is due for the current meeting date. In other words it should not be [today] but the actual meeting date so that you can switch between different meetings and only see the actual meeting action points. Is there a way to access the meeting date to be able to set a condition in a filter, much like you do when using the [me] or [today] parameters. Best, Jesper Tag: Link to documents Tag: 42497

    - Active directory group wise view permission on web parts. Hi Friends, How are you all? Hope you all are doing well. Right now I am implementing share point. I am trying to add Active Directory user groups in the Share Point. According to Active directory users groups I want to give view permission on the web parts. We can assume a situation as example as follows: a) Only the users under the "Executive" group of Active Directory Can view the "Events" web part. b) Only the users under the "Manager" group of the Active Directory Can view the "Image Library" web part. Is there any provision in Share Point 2003 to do this. Thanks & Regards, Swadhin Tag: Link to documents Tag: 42491

    - List formula question Hi there. I am diving headfirst into WSS to set up a company intranet. At the moment the company has a number of documents that I want to publish the contents of as lists. I have two lists; 1. A list of buildings (photo, address, purchase price, and investment sheme (name and code)) 2. A list of investment schemes (name, code, tax numbers etc) I want to set up my columns in list #1 so that the scheme name and code is done by lookup from list #2. I can do that OK, but what I want to happen when adding a new item to list #1 is to choose the scheme code, and then the scheme name is automatically "calculated" or "populated". Can someone explain to a n00b like me how this is done? At the moment I have it so that both the scheme name and code is looked up from list #2. But, because the name and code are linked, I would prefer that users only have to choose the code only. Does any of this make sense? Cheers. Tag: Link to documents Tag: 42479

    - Cancelling Checkout Still Changes Modified Date Hi, If we checkout a document from the library, and checkin via 'Discard Changes, Undo Checkout', the 'Modified' field will still get updated. I'm told that this is because as we checkout this document, a flag (or sorts) is set to lock the document from being edited by other users thus the system will consider it as an update. Is there a way to workaround this so as to keep the original 'modified' date after the undo checkout process? Thanks in advance! Tag: Link to documents Tag: 42478

Hi all,

Is it possible to use Sharepoint to publish documents in an existing folder
on a separate server? I.e: publish My Documents on 'my site'? Or common
documents from a file server?

How would I do this? Do I need 3'rd party products?

Cheers,
Johan

You cannot do this with the free product, WSS. The for cost product, SPS
will crawl file systems.

Hi,
You can publish documents from a network share inside a WSS web part.
Just add the Page Viewer web part to a page and set the View type to a
folder and enter the UNC path for the network share.
Note: the clients must have access to the share as it is really a client
side activex control hosted in IE that is rendering the files.

Here is an example that shows your c: drive in a web part (if you add this
url to your Trusted Sites Zone)
