Document Management
Hi,
I'm interested in using WSS or SPS for document management, where the
documents are the usual PDF's, MSWord documents, Lotus Notes databases,
e-mails, web pages etc. held by different departments across the Company.
This is formal storage of documents and a 'google' type document search
is not appropriate. We need the following:
- simple check-in facility for new documents.
- the ability to assign documents to a category tree, with multiple
categories for each document (e.g. more than one author or subject).
- version control.
- a powerful boolean search capability.
Without actually getting my hands on the software, it's difficult to see
whether or not this functionality is available and whether WSS or SPS
are appropriate.
I really envisaged a relational database behind the scenes to handle the
one-to-many relationships in the category tree. Is this feasible?
Any pointers, links etc would be appreciated.

How do I do this?
Im sure there is a way to do this, whether it is using Infopoint, SQL or
something. I would like to have a dynamic in/out board on the home page of
our sharepoint server. I will link a screen shot as I am poor at explaining
this.

Novice -- I need help !
Hi !
I am a developer using Visual Studio .NET 2003. I need to build an
extranet, with basic functionality of a file archive and download
facitlites of files etc. The company policy is to use Sharepoint to
build this. Can I do this using Sharepoint Windows Services? Or do I
need Sharepoint Portal Server ?
Do I still develop through Visual Studio .NET 2003?
Any help will be appreciated

PDF & WSS
I want to 1) be able to save pdfs from within Adobe to my WSS site, and 2)
to be able to open them in WSS by using a similar menu when opening an
office document. It seems that WSS is Office aware and offers me the choice
to open the document in Word, Excel, etc, but not for pdfs. For those I
have to just click on the link to open the pdf, then can't save it back to

Issues with Project Server 2003 and Share Point on Server 2003
Hello,
I have a bit of a problem. I botched an origional install of Project Server
2003 and Share Point on a Server 2003 machine. After realizing I had made
several mistakes I tried to clean up my mess by uninstalling everything so I
could get a clean start. During the process I must have done something out
of order since now I can't uninstall or install Project Server. Each time I
do so it
automaticly goes into uninstall mode and then gives me the following message;
"Installation ended prematurely because of an error."
Does anyone know how I can work around this problem short of completely
redoing the OS?
Thanks,

connectionString encryption decryption issue
Hello,
I have a ASP.NET web application problem involving the data encryption and
decryption assembly(DLL) used on the connection string value that is set in
the webconfig file.
The problem occurs in the application when you instantiate a new instance of
the class as shown below:
---Dim dp As DPAPIComp.DataProtectorComp = New DPAPIComp.DataProtectorComp---
where DPAPIComp is the name of the namespace referenced to in the library
and DataProtectorComp is the class. This class contains the Encrypt and
Decrypt function used to encrypt and decrypt the connection string pass to
it.
Below is the code responsing to the call above. (in the form of an assembly)
using System;

I have tried placing the DLL in the GAC and giving it a strong name and that

How do I get it to instantiate this probably and be able to connect to the

Anonymous access - can't get rid of logon box
Hi,
I have turned Anonymous access on in IIS and I have enabled Anonymous access
in WSS admin so that anonymous users can access the entire site. This is
intened to be a public web site, but certain features require certain users
to "sign in".
So far so good. The issue is that when I go to the site, the logon box
always appears. I can click cancel and navigate the entire site, but each
mouse click brings up the logon box and another mouse click to cancel.
Is this just an IE browser setting or is there something in IIS and/or WSS
that requires more tweaking?

Site Definition Mis-match
I've created 5 custom site definitions. This all works great except
for the creation of custom pages. (I've included the webtemp.xml file
below.)
For example, if there is a WSS site built on STSeBrndB (1005) and a
user creates a new Web Part Page through the browser, they will get a
page based on the STSeBrndL (1000) site definition. I've checked the
pages in the ...\60\TEMPLATE\1033\STSeBrndB\DOCTEMP\SMARTPGS and they
are correct. If I modify the files in
...\60\TEMPLATE\1033\STSeBrndL\DOCTEMP\SMARTPGS then the pages do alter
their apperance accordingly even though the site is based on STSeBrndB
(1005).
This same problem will occur regardless of which of my custom templates
the site is based upon. The custom pages will always follow the
STSeBrndL (1000) site definition. All the other pages in the site work
as expected. It's just the custom web part pages. Ideas?

to create one after looking at all the usual articles on the Microsoft

in there?

Document library "missing" pages
I have set up a document library of web part pages on a WSS site that are
actually pages with essenially Page Viewer web parts to show the contents of
news articles from various sources. I added fields to the library to keep
track of the source, date, and several categories that I can use for views.
All of this works fine, but I find that some articles don't show up in the
views or seem to drop out. For example, I created a new page last night for
an article and I could see it listed on the WSS site and open it. I even
did a copy of the category it was in, pasted it to FrontPage, and then
copied to an E-mail message that I send to a group.
This morning, I can still access the web part page via the E-mail links that
I sent out last night and I can see it in the library in FrontPage, but it
no longer appears in any view (all items and several views based on
categories) in the document library.
Can anyone please tell me what is going on here? The document still exists
because I can display it via the link I saved last night, but it no longer
shows up in any view.
There are a little over 200 webpart pages like this in the library and I am
not doing any filtering on the views that I displaying.

WSS Contacts List, linked to Outlook, sends bad attachments
We have a Contacts list on a Windows SharePoint Services team web site. The
list includes names and email addresses for all users on our local network.
Users with Office 2003 Professional use the "Link to Outlook" button from the
SharePoint Contacts list to get a linked copy of the list into Outlook.
Outlook checks the linked copy of the list for addresses when users compose
new messages. It's a great feature and it works.
The problem is with attachments sent from an address taken from the linked
Outlook Contacts. When sent to internal users who use Outlook, all is well.
But some of our internal users use Lotus Notes. The same message, when sent
to a Notes user, includes only an attachment called "Winmail.dat" which
contains no useful information. The actual attachment is missing.
More information:
It appears that Outlook is trying use Rich Text Format to send messages to
addresses taken from the SharePoint site. I think that's the specific
behavior I'd like to change but I don't know how.
Our email server is Lotus Domino. Outlook clients connect to it using POP3.
We don't use Exchange. I don't think that's relevant but I thought I'd
mention it, just in case.
Any suggestions, ideas or help will be appreciated. Tag: Linked Documents Tag: 26616
Can anyone tell me if its possible to link documents in sharepoint (like
copy cells in excel then paste special into word)?
Looks like you can do this although it adds a warning for the user...
