    - Copying a discussion group to another discussion group Hi, I have 2 WSS sites they are not connected in a portal in any way one is a test and the other is live. We recently decided to recreate the structure of our site. The new structure was built entirely on the test site. We intend to wipe the live site and upgrade the hard drives etc... once done we are going to backup the new structure and restore on the upgraded server. I can download all the documents stored in the Shared Documents folder as versioning was not turned on, then upload them to the new site. There are however some items that are in a particular discussion group on the old WSS site that I need to keep along with all its threads. Is it possible to backup just the discussion group and then restore to a new rebuilt site? If what I have written does not make any sense, let me know and I will try to elaborate further...

    - Required field with none.... Hi All, I have a drop down box that is required. Unfortunately when it is required the field defaults to the first item in the list, as opposed to (none). Which may be overlooked by the user as something they need to change. I am looking at a few ideas, such as javascript but am wondering if there is a better or more Sharepoint way of accomplishing it.

    - Accessing External Data from a List Is it at all posible to access external data from a wss list? I have made up a simple issue tracking solution using WSS. The system runs great. But would work better if I was able to import data into the list from another application. Example: A client calls up with an issue. The tech looks up their client information from SQL using a web based front end we made. They then have to input that same information into the issue tracking list in wss. Is it posible to import the data directly from the web based SQL data into the list so the tech dosn't have to retype it. Thanks, Steve Tag: 'News for you' update Tag: 33625

    - Programatically creating sub webs Hi all, I know this issue has been discussed previously, but it was quite a long time ago, there was no solution to the issue, or workaround. The previous discussion is at http://tinyurl.com/aj696, it took place around Feb/March 2004. As it has been so long since the last discussion, i was hopeing there had been developments, maybe from Microsoft on the SDK? or a third party application/personal script/app created? If anyone has a solution, or any workaround, apart from manually creating nearly 1000 sub sites, i would be extremely greatful for a reply eaither by email or in the news group.

    - Accumulated values in surveys Hi, is it possible to accumulate values on a sharepoint survey column when the field is numeric (integer). The standard reports on surveys do appearently not support this function. My workaround is to export the answers of the survey to an excel spreadsheet and then apply the SUM function on the column containing the numeric value. This is an extra step i would like to avoid. regards Kalle Tag: 'News for you' update Tag: 33612

    - User rights for Subsite stop working Using latest WSS (SP1): According to the subsite user rights page, the users have at least read rights to the site. They do NOT have rights to the parent site. The problem is, when the user tries to access the subsite, it asks for a password. When they send an access request form, the email indicates they're requesting access to the parent site instead of the child site. I must have changed something because this is a new problem. I've tried deleting and reassigning the users from the subsite, but that solves nothing. Any suggestions? Tag: 'News for you' update Tag: 33595

Now I have 2 new issues: 1) I can go to all of the management portions fo the site, but cannot go to the default page of the site as there is no default.aspx file in the site. Its as if the template setup did everything but put the content in the root. 2) In the WSS Central Admin site, if I try to Manage Web site users, I get the following: The page cannot be displayed because your server's current configuration does not support it. To perform this task, use the command line operations in Stsadm.exe. Everything else seems to work fine. TIA, Jim Tag: 'News for you' update Tag: 33590

For the most part everything works pretty good, with the exception of pictures on the individual sites.

    - Domain group users do not show up in Sharepoint lookup lists When Iâ??m on a SharePoint site, click on Site Settings / Go to Site Administration / View site collection user information, I see user names listed that are not members of the site. Have you seen this before? I see this on many different sites. The names do not appear under the Manage users list. Also, similarly related, I have several sites that have lists that contain a â??user lookupâ?? from the site users list. If I only put in a domain group under Manage Users with read access, none of the names of the users in that domain group show up in the lookup list. The list is essentially empty.

    - Document template Hi all, I have posted this problem in group Windows Small Business Server too. When I become a solution I'll post it back on both groups. This is the problem: I have already an SharePoint-site with several documentlibraries and formlibraries. I added an extra documentlibrary in which are AutoCad drawings. The problem is: I have a template on my machine. How do I add it to the Forms (where AllItems.aspx etc... reside) of this documentlibrary, so users will use this template when they open a new document in this library. (I myself have no AutoCad installed on my machine). When I use Modify general settings and fill in the template URL: Drawings/Forms/B2929.dwg I got the error, telling me, that this B2929.dwg-template must be in "Forms" (where AllItems.apsx etc. reside). How do I get it over there?? Help is appreciated.... Ger Tag: 'News for you' update Tag: 33553

    - Cannot delete an issue which is not current I'm trying to use SharePoint for bug tracking. I created a new list and picked "Issues" as the type of list. I customized the list through "Modify Settings and Colums" so that we have a "Status" field with 4 possible values that may be chosen. Next, I created 4 views. Each view filters the list according to one of the statuses. While using one of these views, I edited an item and changed the status. When I saved it, the status was not updated? Worse, when I go to the default view of "All Items", there are now 2 duplicate items with the same issue ID. Finally, when I try to delete the old issue (the one that was not updated), I get the error listed in the subject of this post. I have reproduced this problem several times. Anyone else seen this?

    - Bugs in Explorer View of Document Library... Hi, I'm using Windows XP SP2 and IE 6.0.2800 to access Sharepoint Services 2.0 and Portal 2003 sites. I have noticed several abnormal behaviors when using the Explorer view of the document library. Has anyone experienced any of these and do they have any suggestions? 1. Sometimes documents added in "All Documents View" do not appear in the Explorer view. Although I noticed if I use Windows Explorer, I can see the documents. Also, if I close the browser and delete catch files the problem appears to get resolved. 2. Sometimes documents deleted in "All Documents View" Keep appearing in the Explorer view. I can even delete the document again in Explorer View! 3. Sometimes going from All Document to Explorer View, I am prompted for my credentials again! No matter what I do, the system keeps rejecting them. However, if I click on cancel, the Explorer View opens! 4. Copying between Document Library using the Explorer View appears to work for the most part. If the document libraries have the same columns, the values of all columns appear to also copy over. But this does not occur for a field called "Description", regardless of whether it is multi or single line column. Bugs like this make me rather nervous about opening the prototype to our user communities. Your advise is appreciated. Thank you. Tag: 'News for you' update Tag: 33524

I've only foound ways to configure that the default content database is on another SQL Server, but that does not include migrating the currently hosted sharepoint sites. If there's a way, many thanks to anyone who could bring some help. Beto. Tag: 'News for you' update Tag: 33487

How can one edit the 'News for You' webpart that is available to be put on
their personal site?
Mine seems to contain all portal listings that ever existed, even ones that
have expired and are no longer on the portal.

if u aim your listings at 'all portal users' then they will appear in the
news for you webpart.
The expired ones may not be on the news page (it may be set to show latest
5) but still available in news for you

This is the newsgroup for Windows SharePoint Services not for SharePoint
Portal Server 2003. It covers only WSS problems that are common to all WSS
implemnetations.

The only WSS implementation that has My Site ("personal site") and a News
for You webpart is SPS 2003 and these features are thus not common to all
implementations.

Please post questions on them only to the SPS newsgroup at

microsoft.public.sharepoint.portalserver

(Dave, please refer people posting SPS 2003-only questions to that newsgroup
rather than answering them here. People using standalone WSS; WSS in SBS
2003 and WSS in Project Server 2003 do not want this newsgroup full of SPS
questions)
