    - Maintaining hierarchy Dear colleagues, In a custom list; I would like to implement a directory that may have the following options: 1.) Categories may contain subcategories and so on. 2.) An item may belong to more than one category or sub-category. For example: If Microsoft company would be included in the directory and we have some categories such as: 1. IT 1.1 Software 1.2 Hardware 2. Finance 3. Research and assuming we would like to add Microsoft web site to the directory and that it belongs to (1. IT), (1.1 Software), (1.2 Hardware) and (3. Research), figuring out a suitable approach causes me headache! The reason is that I'm limited to not using any thing other than Sharepoint. I implemented a content type of type folder in order for me to maintain the hierarchy of categories; should an item belong to a single category or sub-category, then another content type in the list of type item would work just fine; however, the intersection of association as in the Microsoft example doesn't make that approach suitable. If would use a webpart, that would be some how ok, but I must leave the user use the standard default "NewForm" and "EditForm". Some may wonder, why not using the Site Directory; it's an approach being studied at the moment, but the current approach is to use a custom list. Any suggestions are highly appreciated Regards Tag: Survey text Tag: 67338

    - Newbie permission error I can't figure out who the website administrator is I have Sharepoint 2.0 running on SBS 2003 R2 and it appears that the dbo of the STS databases are a group SBS Admin of which I am a member. The Administrator of the domain is also and administrator. Each time I attempt to make changes, the permissions are denied. Is the website administrator a service account? Can permissions be set through SQL server by adding another user to the STS databases with dbo permissions or is it really convoluted? If the latter, how do I determine who or what the website administrator is? -- Regards, Jamie Tag: Survey text Tag: 67336

    - WSS FAQ additions and changes - 29th June - 5th July 2008 Note: All of the addresses of the KB / Articles - 2007 Products / MS / Non-MS Articles below were valid at the time I added them to the WSS FAQ site and to this file. I can't guarantee that they still are. (This is also posted to my blog at http://mikewalsh.bilsimser.com) (Items are added to the WSS FAQ throughout the week so you will find new items more quickly by checking at wss.collutions.com or www.wssfaq.com daily.) From 29th June 2008 - 5th July 2008 NOTE: Amendment to KB articles: Microsoft are not not amending the date of a KB article if the change made is marked as a version point change (so from 2.2 to 2.3 for instance). This ought to mean that the amendment made is cosmetic rather than important as important text changes ought to result in a major version change (such as from 2.2 to 3.0). Because of this change and to avoid unnecessary effort I will in future not amend the listings in the WSS FAQ sites if only a minor version change has taken place. I will continue to amend both the date and version numbers of major version changes and of course will continue to add all relevant new KB articles that my RSS feeds and other sources give me.

    - Filtering an imported list by user Hello, I have imported an excel spreadsheet, one of the columns contains the customer (Agent). I wish to filter the list so that users can only see the items which are relevant to them. The only way I can see to do this is to manually create a view which filters by their name, but there are too many customers and different views required to make this feasable. I've tried filtering using the Me function, (which returns exactly the same text as that which is in the Agent column), however, it is searching for the text "=PROPER(RIGHT(Me,LEN(Me)-9))" rather than the calculated value... The user didn't create any of the items, so how can I filter it to display only the relevant ones? It's been driving me mad, thanks for any help. Tag: Survey text Tag: 67330

    - WSS Search Problem We've managed to create a major headache here... hope you can help. We created a WSS 3.0 site on a Windows 2003 server using the built-in SQL Express as the database. All was working very well, including Search, until we made the site public through Alternate Access Mappings. Unfortunately, a misunderstanding of what to enter in AMM ( the IT admin changed the "default" name, instead of adding the Internet Header) caused the problem. While the site still "worked", a SiteSearch came back with nothing. We fixed the AAM entry,, but now Search refuses to re-index all the docs, wikis and pages that are currently in the site. But, if we add a new item/doc, or if an item is changed, Search *will* find and index that item. But all the stuff we loaded in the trial stage does not appear in any search results. I have tried a restart on Search- no luck. Is there a way to force Search to recrawl the entire Site Collection? Thanks! BH Tag: Survey text Tag: 67269

    - SharePoint Rookie needs a little help All, I created a Sharepoint site for some events that will take place every two weeks. I successfully created the events on the calendar, but don't see how to invite people or groups. I did manage to create a "workspace" for each event and a list of users for the site. I need them to be invited and accept the meeting invitations and/or change their attendance status if possible. In short, I would like to see the functionality of the Outlook Calendar objects with the nice centralization that SharePoint seems to offer. Thank you in advance! McG Tag: Survey text Tag: 67248

    - Error "The server returned a non-specific error when trying to get data from the data source." When connecting to XML Data Source in SPD 2007 Hi! i'm trying to follow this article: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepointdesigner/HA101191141033.aspx to learn creating form DataViews. I create an XML file as described, however when I click on xml file and select "show data" data source details tab has all buttons dimmed and gives this error: The server returned a non-specific error when trying to get data from the data source. Check the format and content of your query and try again. If the problem persists, contact the server administrator. On Muicrosoft site I've found this article: http://support.microsoft.com/?scid=kb%3Ben-us%3B923173&x=12&y=13 however, I connect to SharePoint site directly through the LAN, so why would I configure the proxy? Any clues? Thanks in advance! Zaur Tag: Survey text Tag: 67247

    - Cannot see my partners Changes in onenote s.p doc I uploaded a shared notebook from onenote on our sharepoint-server. My partner managed to open it in onenote (after som hassle). He managed to make some changes, see my changes, but! I cannot see his changes. I can erase his changes (those that I cannot see) Yes, I did make my partner editor of the document. We also tried this on the Office Live Small business. Same result Anybody knows a fix for this? I have SP1 installed - I do not yet know if my partner has that. A related problem might be that it seems impossible for my partner to open the document from within Onenote - he has to do it via the s.p server (or Live Small business..) Soon desperate for helpt...

    - TFS Portals backup Hi. I am defining a strategy for backup of my TFS server. I understand that backing up the data tier keeps my version control, work items etc. safe, but I am uncertain about the Sharepoint portals. For example, when my users upload documents to a portal, are they also stored on SQL Server? And if I customize some aspect of a portal, where are they stored? I am thinking about creating a backup for my data tier and another for the sites of my server. Is this the correct approach? Best regards, Robert Scheer Tag: Survey text Tag: 67241

    - Event Receivers don't fired when using forms authentication Hi, I have programmatically registered some event receivers like ItemAdded, ItemUpdating, etc. to perform some security settings on the items. That works perfect when accessing the site via Windows authentication, but for one or another reason these events don't fire when accessing the website via Forms authentication. My WSS v3 site is accessible via a default zone using Windows authentication and also via a zone Internet with forms authentication. Is there anybody who has an idea why event handling doesn't work with forms authentication or what the cause could be? Thanks, Bert Tag: Survey text Tag: 67238

Have you read the manga named Maken-ki? This manga series is as nice as To-Love-ru!!! The illustrator is Hiromitsu Takeda and his girls are incredibly gorgeous. The story is described as an "ecchi love comedy with battle action." Oyama Takeshi happily enrolls in a co-ed school that didn't required any entrance exams and has hostels to book... Only to find out that there's more to the school than he thought! It is very good that Takeda-san likes to draw his girls with very big eyes. Have only read a bit so far but many of the girls have an item called "Maken" - each are different and have varying powers when used in battle. And as with all good school girl battles, their clothes easily explode. And there are characters for folks who like loli's too. Maken Ki has been an entertaining read so far and look forward to more!!! I am sure that you must be love it at the first glance!!! http://english1.isoshu.com/search/Maken-ki/all-1?recommid=1023 Tag: Survey text Tag: 67224

    - WSS FAQ additions and changes - 22nd to 28th June 2008 Note: All of the addresses of the KB / Articles - 2007 Products / MS / Non-MS Articles below were valid at the time I added them to the WSS FAQ site and to this file. I can't guarantee that they still are. (This is also posted to my blog at http://mikewalsh.bilsimser.com) (Items are added to the WSS FAQ throughout the week so you will find new items more quickly by checking at wss.collutions.com or www.wssfaq.com daily.) From 22nd - 28th June 2008 NOTE: Amendment to KB articles: Microsoft are not not amending the date of a KB article if the change made is marked as a version point change (so from 2.2 to 2.3 for instance). This ought to mean that the amendment made is cosmetic rather than important as important text changes ought to result in a major version change (such as from 2.2 to 3.0). Because of this change and to avoid unnecessary effort I will in future not amend the listings in the WSS FAQ sites if only a minor version change has taken place. I will continue to amend both the date and version numbers of major version changes and of course will continue to add all relevant new KB articles that my RSS feeds and other sources give me.

    - Extranet links vs intranet links in WSS 3.0 Hello, I'm currently responsible for maintenance of an intranet site collection using WSS 2.0 (with the DB in a SQL 2005 server). We are currently looking to migrate to WSS 3.0; the site collection is also accessible as an extranet. We have an internal address (http://intranet), which can be accessed with SSL from the outside with a different URL(https:// extranet.ourdomain). When sending links to list items from either side, mostly using the issue boards' "assign to" feature, Sharepoint uses the URL from the sender's side. Thus, if the receiver is not on the same side, the links cannot be accessed directly. (This is apparently a major hindrance for a lot of users) I've seen an older, related thread stating that WSS 3.0 might still have this issue. Can anyone please confirm? Or whether the Office SharePoint Server 2007 version shares this issue as well? (http://groups.google.com/group/ microsoft.public.sharepoint.windowsservices/browse_thread/thread/ 4bc155df4f4d6cf9/aa343fa0c05fddcf?lnk=gst&q=external+%2Blinks+%2Be- mail#aa343fa0c05fddcf) Thanks, Tag: Survey text Tag: 67202

    - SharePoint 3.0 - making it accessible to user 'from the outside' Good morning! Simple question actually: making sharepoint 3.0 accessible to the user base when the user base is not connected to the network (say, they are at home or on vacation or whatnot). How? I ask becuase my colleague tells me that this is very tricky. To me, it seems like we simply have a dedicated, static Public IP Addres available. We create an A record called 'sharepoint' (or whatever...), configure the SonicWall to forward traffic to this IP Address to the server in question (member File Server) and that is it. My colleague tells me that SharePoint is not really all that 'friendly' when it comes to accessing it from the outside world. I trust what he says. Thanks, Cary Tag: Survey text Tag: 67190
