    - Performace tuning- URGENT Hi, Can anyone let me know how I can improve on the performance on loading the WSS page. I have two performance issues: 1. The page take a very long time to load for the first time. Also, if there are no hits to the server and when the user tries to hit the server it again takes a long time to load the page. 2. I have a â??Excluded pathâ?? , all the pages from this directory takes longer time to load than the other pages. I have pages where I have a combination of webparts (which loads fast) and asp.net pages (from the extended path) that take a longer time to load. Please let me know how I can resolves these two performance issues. Thanks Tag: Top Menu Bar Tag: 51528

    - Error after MS critical updates for August 2006 After the critical updates from MS were installed this month I can no longer successfully click on DESIGN THIS PAGE in a SharePoint site. It takes an error on mshtml.dll which was updated. After removing update KB918899 and rebooting the problem is gone. There are a number of updates under KB918899 and removing them all may not be required. If anyone has additional information please post it here. Tag: Top Menu Bar Tag: 51513

    - How do I create a Look Up List based on a Calculated Type Field I created an EMPLOYEE list with a FULL NAME field based on =[FIRST NAME]&" "&[LAST NAME]. I also created a VACATION list. I tried to create "lookup" column based on the EMPLOYEE - FULL NAME column. A bunch of other fields in the EMPLOYEE table are visible as possible "lookup" columns, but the FULL NAME column is not. Are calculated fields not valid for Look Up type columns? And if so, are there types not valid? Tag: Top Menu Bar Tag: 51511

    - SSL and Sharepoint Services When i change the Host Header of the Website, the Site also changes in Sharepoint Configuration. But when i change the website host header and i use ssl then in Sharepoint Configuration the hostname ist displayed. Example: Host Header = intranet.domain.com -> Sharepoint changes to http://intranet.domain.com Host Header with SSL required = intranet.domain.com -> Sharepoint changes to https://servername The main problem is that the webparts do not function any more because they where not seen as trusted. When i switch back to http everything works fine. Greetings neppoz Tag: Top Menu Bar Tag: 51507

    - FrankM WSS template problem 20060811-001 I'm having a little problem with the command line on the stsadm.exe command. I am trying to "enhance" our project template and load it to use in out test environment. I do not understand the 'Title' part of the command. What is this referring to and what am I attempting to addressing? I did note a comment below stating the Project Workspace template title was the only one available in Project Server 2003. If that is the case, can I confirm that. We are creating templates. We have used the enumtemplates command to list the multiple templates we have created. The problem is, we do not see them in the drop down list box for Site Template on the WSS Site provisioning settings. -- Frank M Tag: Top Menu Bar Tag: 51483

    - Master/Detail DVWP: New Master search still shows old Detail Hello - I created a pretty simple master/detail setup with two data views going against a SQL database. Master DVWP uses a search box to filter the results, and then clicking each item in the Master filtered list shows the Detail below. However, here's my problem: 1) Load up web page, empty search (no Master list since there is no filter, no Detail shown). 2) Enter search string and do postpack, Master lists A and B. Detail shows A, as it defaults to show the first row. 3) Click "B". Master shows B as selected, Detail shows B. 4) Enter new Master search, do postback, Master lists C and D. Detail still shows B. #4 should have Detail shows C, being the first row in the list. But somehow that doesn't get passed to the Detail after changing the Master filter. If I skip step #3, and never choose an item to display in the detail and always just have it default to the first row, then #4 works as expected. It's only when I manually trigger the web part connection. So my question is how to clear that parameter so that when I re-filter the Master it goes back to passing the first row value to the Detail? Is there another parameter or call that needs to happen during the Master filtering? Thanks for any help. This one has me stumped. --David Tag: Top Menu Bar Tag: 51482

    - WSS w/ SQL Server 2005 Work Group Edition? Hello, I have an existing SQL Server 2005 Work Group Edition install. I have a single database on this server and I am using SSIS and SSRS on this SQL Server. Based on this KB article, you can use SQL Server 2005 as a backend for WSS and SPS, provided you upgrade to the appropriate Service Pack for WSS/SPS and allow remote connections from SQL Server. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/917446 Can I install WSS (or SPS) on a SEPARATE server and use my SQL Server 2005 server as my data store for it (remember I have Work Group Edition)? Can I install WSS (or SPS) on the SAME box as my SQL Server 2005 server? Wouldn't this effectively make the Reporting Services usless on my server since WSS (and SPS, I think) take over the default Web Site on the server? Are there any other considerations, other than having WSS SP2 (or SPS SP2) installed if I wanted to use SQL SErver 2005 as my datastore for my WSS (or SPS) site(s)? TIA!!!

    - Remove Create Site Ability What we would like to do is have "Admins" of sites be able to add users but not be able to create subsites. We would like the subsites to be controlled by a higher level admin. What we have found is that if we give a user the ability to add users, they can simply set themselves to an Admin and create sites. If we remove the "Create Site" permission from the WSS Virtual Server settings, no one can add sites. That includes local admins of the portal server, users in the WSS admin group, etc... Is there any way around this? Mark Tag: Top Menu Bar Tag: 51467

    - Share email with WSS? Can WSS be used to share email among all users of a Exchange Server? My understanding is that at best, I can only use WSS to share email attachments. This is based on the following quote from the "Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services 2.0 Administrator's Guide", "Configuring E-Mail-Enabled Document Libraries" topic: "Any documents attached to messages in the public folder can be automatically inserted into the document library, and the document library displays the document, plus the From address, the subject line, and the date and time that the attachment was inserted into the document library. Note that the body text of the e-mail message is not preserved. It remains in the public folder, but is not transferred to the document library." The users really want the *body* of the email to be shared. If my understanding is correct, then it's confusing that MS is trying to move away from Public Folders in lieu of WSS, while at the same time not adding Public Folder features into WSS. Any comments welcome. Thanks, Jeff Tag: Top Menu Bar Tag: 51466

    - List Templates (again) Time for a new SP? Hi folks, I've saved a comprehensive Contacts list (out-of-the-box Contacts list with extra fields, lookups etc.) as a template, with content. I then saved it as a file on the network, and you can see it has content at 153kb, so you know it kept the content. You can see it in the gallery and the create page ok only because I saved it from the root site. I know it won't be available in the Create page on a sub-site (unless someone knows better; that'd be real cool). Now, my problem is, when I import this list template into another root WSS site, and subsequently create a Contacts list based on that template, it only provides several default fields and no content. :( Disheartening to say the least. (will anyhting ever work the way you want it?? I digress). The original site was overhauled by a consultant (who shall remain nameless) to provide our company with new site templates with our special logoso and jerr-rigged menus, so does this mean the templates are buggered up or ghosted? I can't use FrontPage on these special templated sites as they loose their headers, ie: they're ghosted. Any help or advise on these template matters would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    - Permissions problem (WSS2) Hi, I thought I posted this earlier, but it seems to have disappeared. Apologies for any duplication. I have a content database served over two websites, one for internal with integrated auth and one for external access with basic auth over ssl (to overcome issues associated with using basic and integrated auth on the same site). Each site has it's own application pool (to allow the recycle bin ISAPI to work on both) running in network service context. I've added a global group to the reader group which works inconsistently. When I log into either website with a user who is a member of this group, most of the time I will be challenged for the username and password, and will eventually get an access denied error. If I thne log in to the site as an admin, then close the browser so that I get prompted to login again, then log back into the site, it then allows me to login as a reader user fine. If I try again a few hours later, I get the same problem. Any suggestions much appreciated. cheers. Tag: Top Menu Bar Tag: 51432

    - Upload Files Problem Using SPS 3.0 and Vista (maybe too much beta). I've suddenly lost my ability to upload files. When I try to upload a file, and navigate to the Choose File dialog, I only see SharePoint Drafts under my Documents folder. There are files in that folder, but none appear in the Choose File dialog. Other folders not under Documents (Images, Music) show all of their files. I uploaded a file to a different library just the other day, but today this library shows the same behavior when I try to upload. This occurs whether I try to upload one or multiple files. A colleague can still upload, so I'm guessing this is a Vista issue, in which case I may be in the wrong group. Still, any suggestions? Thanks in advance! Tag: Top Menu Bar Tag: 51431

    - Calendar View I have created a calendar view for an event list I loaded using an imported excel file (contains multiple events on various different dates). The import was successful and I have a calendar containing the desired content. However, when I view the calendar, the only column from the event that is displayed (as a link) is the Group column. I am able to click on the link and the event content becomes viewable on another page (but only that event). I would like the calendar to display all of the event's data instead of forcing users to click on the Group link for each event. Is there a setting to either: 1.) View all of the data for each event on the calendar view or 2.) Change the current Group to the Activity Description so I will know what each event is when I look at the entire month calendar view? Thanks. Tag: Top Menu Bar Tag: 51430

    - Problem Updating List from MS Access I am trying to run an Append query from MS Access 2003 to add records to an existing SharePoint (WSS 2.0) list. I have added the list to the Access database as a linked table and when I run my append query, I get an Invalid Internet Address error message. Access Help, provides the following useless explanation: Invalid Internet address. (Error 3651) You have requested an Internet address which is not valid or not available. Check the address, and if it is valid, try again later. Does anyone have any ideas why this would happen? I am an Admin on WSS site, have no problem linking to the list from Access and can manually edit the SharePoint list records from the Access file. TIA Dean Tag: Top Menu Bar Tag: 51424

    - Word/Excel Docs in Sharepoint For ease of explanation I have 2 documents, an excel document located on my local computer that has hyperlinks setup to point to differing word documents located on a network location. Also, both documents are password protected and can be viewed as read only unless the correct password is given. First Question. I upload the Excel document to a Sharepoint Shared Documents Web Part. When i go into my Excel document the hyperlink I setup to point out to my network location has now been change to look in my shared documents web part. How do i get sharepoint to not update the hyperlinks in my documents when i upload them to sharepoint? Second Question. After noticing that it was trying to look for the word document in the shared documents web part i thought i would place there. I open the excel document and click on the hyperlink to open the linked word document i now have in my shared documents. The document opens just fine. However, when i make changes to the document and go to save it no longer points me to sharepoint but to "My Documents" to save the changes. The only way i can get it to point to sharepoint is if i edit the document directly instead of using the hyperlink. How do i get it to work so that when i click on the hyperlink to open the document within excel and then want to save that document that it saves it back to SharePoint instead of My Documents? Thanks for the assistance in advance. Tag: Top Menu Bar Tag: 51423

    - HTTP Error 401.1 After Password Change I have searched around and have not found anything relevant do what I am experiencing. To start off, we have Windows Sharepoint Services sp1 (soon to be upgraded) running on a Windows 2003 Server, with a Windows 2000 Active Directory Setup. Workstations are running XP SP2 w IE 6 SP2. We have been running sharepoint for about a year with about 100 active directory users using it. During that course of a year 2 people have received the following after changing their active directory password: HTTP Error 401.1 - Unauthorized: Access is denied due to invalid credentials. Internet Information Services (IIS) As for the first person, she just started working about 3 days later (no clue why). As for the other person, user A we will call him, (that I am still having a problem with), this is what I have done so far: - Rebooted the sharepoint server - Rebuilt windows profile on workstation - Internet Explorer (reset settings to default, added to trusted sites, cleared forms and passwords None worked. However, if we take User A and log him into another Windows XP workstation it he can access the sharepoint sites without any issues. Or if another user logs into his workstation, they can access the sharepoint sites. We are also using OWA internally and it works fine. I have read some things about Kerberos, IIS settings, but did not feel that they were relevant since 98% of all of our other users work without any problems. It almost seems to me like the browser is caching the old credentials. Any help is appreciated. Tag: Top Menu Bar Tag: 51400

    - beta versions expire when, best one to try?? Hello, I double-posted because I've just started learning about SharePoint, and am looking for some guidance about either SPS or MOSS. Which 2007/beta version would be better for me to try out -- SharePoint Services 3.0 or MS SharePoint Portal Server 2007?? I know one difference is that MOSS apparently has the business intelligence feature?? Will either or both of these apps work for people with Office 2003 only?? (I would like to allow using either the blog or wiki feature.) When does the beta software expire?? Are there any major gotchas I must watch out for?? Thank you, Tom Tag: Top Menu Bar Tag: 51384

    - WSS + SP2 w SQL Server I have a list for vacations, customer visits, training, etc which I display in Calendar view. Events spanning multiple days (eg, out of town customer visits) are displayed as a continuous bar from the start date to the end date, IF I enter the date using the start and end fields. When I use the recurrence field, a series of events are displayed, one for each day. I understand why that happens. Now, I created views to display only vacations, only customer visits, only training, etc. When I click on those views, only the start date is displayed - not the entire series or continuous bar. How can these views be defined to show like the Calendar view but with filters? Keith Tag: Top Menu Bar Tag: 51379

    - Sharepoint 2007 and multiple headers in IIS Hi all, In SPS/WSS 2003 I was able to create an IIS site and modify its properies to host multiple headers ie http://server:81 http://internal http://www.acme.com as long as I added these headers and the appropriate dns and firewall rules. ... In MOSS/WSS 2007 how do you achieve this? I attempted the same tricks I am used to with IIS but when I add these headers to the IIS web site when I browse using any of the headers they always revert back to the first http://server:81 url. Internally I can live with this as server:81 can be resolved, but if i browse from an external machine (ie over the internet) then server:81 is not known Any ideas how to solve this in MOSS/WSS 2007 Beta 2? Thanks in advance Sergio Tag: Top Menu Bar Tag: 51378

Hello everyone. We are currently using STS and I am looking at
migrating to WSS. Currently in STS I am using frames so I can have a
seperate Java menu at the top to link to the many subwebs. Using
frames allows the end user to access the menu from any page within
sharepoint. I would like to get away from frames and change the
current top menu in WSS.

I would like to change the top Menu to a drop down menu with custom
links and I would like this change on all sharepoint pages and subwebs.
Any idea's?

Thank You in advance

Steve

Look at Todd Bleeker's blog and his series on using the Content Editor Web
Part (CEWP) for doing stuff like this. Sig Weber also had some stuff like
this on his blog, but I don't think it's been updated in a while. You'll
save yourself some headache if you do this the CEWP way instead of with
FrontPage.
