    - Sharepoint Lists Today I started my adventure with the Sharepoint :) At the beginning I can not add link to the list becasue this message appears: "Cannot make a cache safe URL for "SpellCheckEntirePage.js", file not found. Please verify that the file exists under the layouts directory. Web Parts Maintenance Page: If you have permission, you can use this page to temporarily close Web Parts or remove personal settings. For more information, contact your site administrator. Troubleshoot issues with Windows SharePoint Services". To be honest I don't know what does it mean? Could you help me?

    - dataviews.... help please hi all I'm new to sharepoint\sharepoint designer etc but have the job of trying to build up a project management type area from scratch. I have the basics in place but am trying to create what i think needs to be a dataview. I have a milestones list and a tasking list. When i click on and view a milestone underneath i want to be able to see all the associated tasks that have that milestone associated. The tasking list has a column which looks up a milestone and allows the user to select one. I am using sharepoint designer to edit the dispform.aspx in milestone and then try to insert new datasource i then select the datasource by chooing the tasking list and then drag and drop the milestone field across. I'm not too sure what to do next. Have played around with the filter but cannot get the associated tasking to show. I'm guessing that i am missing out a chunk of the process and some help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Tag: creating new sub-site with MOSS 2007 Tag: 66983

    - Need help with Search I needed to migrate a WSS 3 server to new hardware. It is up and running with the exception of search. I ended up creating a new Search database as the first one created when I installed WSS gave errors and would not run. I can start a full crawl and see the CPU spike and the search service and SQLServer running hard. The event logs show the search session run, master merge complete, etc. The Search MDF file is about 18M right now and the log file 15. The mdf file on the old server was about 36M... not a lot, but I could search for everything. I have checked via stsadm and search is set on the content database so it should crawl. I set the SQL ##SSEE and Search services to run under the same account that the application pool runs under. Search gives no results. Even for new content. Wait a day, nothing. Trigger full crawls, nothing. When I stop and restart the SQL server ##SSEE I get these: Event Type: Error Event Source: Windows SharePoint Services 3 Event Category: Database Event ID: 5586 Date: 6/7/2008 Time: 4:42:29 PM User: N/A Computer: GSP Description: Unknown SQL Exception 232 occured.

    - WSS FAQ additions and corrections - 1st - 7th 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 1st - 7th 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.

    - Questions regarding installing "Application Templates for Windows SharePoint Services 3.0" I'm trying to install some application templates for my new WSS 3.0 site. I'm using the documantation below and have run up against an error message I need assistance on. I've already completed the first part "To install the Application Template Core solution" with no errors so I'm now working on the second part "To install an Application Template". In Step #6 - "Next, run "stsadm -o deploysolution -name <template_name>.wsp -allowgacdeployment". Additional attributes may be required based on your Windows SharePoint Services configuration. I get this message at the end "Please specify either '-immediate' or '-local' or 'time' parameter. Now I assume this is in relation to the end of Step #6 where it says "Additional attributes may be required based on your Windows SharePoint Services configuration." Anybody no what this means and which attribute I need to use and where in the command line I insert the attribute? Thanks in advance.

    - WSS 2.0 anonymous access Hello, I have a virtual server site on my sharepoint services machine. I am trying to get just this site setup for anonymous access. I have gone to IIS Management and made the site for anonymous access. Also, I have gone to the individual site settings for manage anonymous access and made the site so anonymous users can access entire web site. However, I am still unable to view the site anonymously. I get prompted to log in and if I cancel I get the unauthorized message. I have read some posts about enabling anonymous access in sharepoint central administration but I do not see the navigation that these posts mention. Thought it may be new to WSS 3.0. Anyone have any thoughts as to why my anonymous access is not working? Thanks, Dan Tag: creating new sub-site with MOSS 2007 Tag: 66969

    - Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.SharePoint.ApplicationPages ERROR: Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.SharePoint.ApplicationPages, Version=12.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c' or one of its dependencies. Access is denied. I'm leaving this here in case someone else experiences this..... I had activated a feature at the root of a new portal and after a little while I couldn't access All Site Content or Site Settings, or even use Sign In As A Different User. The change that I made hasn't taken effect because the app pool hadn't recycled itself. The easiest fix for this is to go to the affected nodes, open the web.config for that portal, add a space to the end and then save the changes. Voila, problem solved.

    - PDF Files not indexed after installation of PDF IFilter 6.0 Hi! I'm trying to set up my wss site to index contents of PDF files. I've installed PDF IFilter 6.0 and followed instructions in the readme file. In fact, they only thing I couldn't do is Step 6 in readme.htm: 6. [SHAREPOINT ONLY] Add PDF as a file type to be included in the content index. On the SharePoint Site Settings Page, in the Search Settings and Indexed Content section, chose Configure search and indexing. On the Configure Search and Indexing page, in the General Content Settings and Indexing Status, choose Include File Types. On the Include File Types page, choose Add File Type. On the Add File Type page, in the File Extension box, type PDF for the file type that you want to add to the list of file types for the content index. Choose OK. Maybe I did something wrong or maybe IFileter 6.0 doesn't work for WSS. Is there any way to resolve this? Tag: creating new sub-site with MOSS 2007 Tag: 66959

    - Sharing pdf files between several sites Hi! I'm building a local intranet site for our company, where there're several sites for each department. I have many PDF files in various folders spread around several file servers. Each department has certain permissions on folders containing this data. I need to reflect that in my WSS site without uploading same pdf files in each site if possible. Let's say, the structure of the intranet site is like this: Home // Sales // Purchase // Administration // Accounting etc. Let's say that Sales has access R+W to pdf files in folder A, and Purchase department has R access to the same folder. I also need to make those pdf files be visible both under Sales shared documents and Purchase department shared documents since Sales must not have access to the Purchase department's site. How can this be accomplished? Tag: creating new sub-site with MOSS 2007 Tag: 66955

    - WSS 3.0 Calendar Edit "Manage Lists" permission failing I have WSS 3.0 and I have set the calendar advanced settings/Item-level permissions so people can only edit the entries they make. According to the page, so long as the user does not have the "Manage Lists" permission, they will be unable to edit any entries they do not make. To test this, I logged in as a user in the Contribute group (which does not have "Manage Lists" permission. and created an item in the calendar. I logged out and logged back in as another user in the Contribute group, and was able to successfully edit the item. I'm in a bit of a quandry because this is directly contrary to the information about permissions, I should be unable to edit an item that I didn't create. Any ideas?

    - Seeking good documentation for migrating websites and data from WSS 2.0 to WSS 3.0 I have an SBS 2003 Server environment with WSS 2.0 companyweb. I've installed WSS 3.0 in a side by side installation as recommended by MS documentation. Both sites are up and running just fine. We are now ready to go production with the new WSS 3.0 companyweb site. The WSS 2.0 does contain another subsite as well as calendar, links, announcements and Docuamnts. So now I need to import or migrate from WSS 2.0 to WSS 3.0. I'm looking for feedback on the best methods and or tools as well as success and failure stories. We're not talking alot of stuff here to migrate. I can manually do it I suppose but would prefer not to if there is a tool or method that is less time consuming and easier. thanks.

    - Question/Feedback for MS Product Managers in SharePoint & InfoPath I would like to post a question/feedback for the Product Managers of SharePoint and InfoPath. (Alex Xie... could you pass this along to the Product Managers?) I would also appreciate feedback from the rest of the community to see if you agree with this. I really enjoy using SharePoint and InfoPath. I've been using the combination for about nine months now and find it has a lot of potential for enterprise use. I do, however, want to pass along my frustration with finding solutions to development roadblocks. I have lots of information sources, but I have still had a tough time finding solutions. Iâ??ve tried Newsgroups, Forums, Web searches, blogs, and online book systems. It seems to me that there is limited information about InfoPath with WSS/SharePoint. That makes me worry that maybe MS isnâ??t fully behind this product combination. I have both MSDN and TechNet subscriptions, but neither offers a managed newsgroup for InfoPath. I use InfoPath almost exclusively with WSS 3, so I have to try posting questions to the WSS group and hoping that the managed newsgroup team feels that the question is appropriate. When the issue is clearly WSS related, the Managed Newsgroup team has done a great job of helping me. Crosscutting issues between InfoPath and SharePoint, however, are sometimes rejected as not appropriate for the WSS newsgroup. When I've had purely InfoPath issues, however, there is little help available. The non-managed InfoPath newsgroups seem to have very low activity. Alex Xie from the managed newsgroup team recently pointed me toward the forums. I understand that these are becoming a focus for the MS teams. My recent question there, however, took several days to get a response from a community member. It's not just the forums and newsgroups that are frustrating regarding InfoPath & WSS. I have access to 24x7 Books, but nine months ago there were NO InfoPath books there. I asked 24x7 to look at that and they have slowly added six books on the topic. Safari also offered a limited selection. Web sites and blogs about InfoPath with SharePoint are also more limited than I've found for other tools. Only a handful of MVPs offer info on SharePoint/Infopath. SharePoint has a better community, so you might ask why this community should care about InfoPath? My experience is that SharePoint is limited without InfoPath's forms abilities. SharePoint can have a strong presence in our enterprise environment when it fully teams with InfoPath. MS has done a lot to make the software work together, but it can't spread out unless developers feel comfortable with the level of support. I don't want to use up my MSDN/TechNet phone call on issues but I need to resolve them without waiting days for advice. This lack of information makes it an uphill struggle to advocate SharePoint throughout the enterprise. So, my suggestion for the MS Product Managers is that there be more effort in building a community of developers around InfoPath & SharePoint. There should be a managed newsgroup (or forum) for InfoPath or InfoPath with WSS/MOSS. Not many developers would be willing to take the leap I have in trying to learn how to make the two products work. I'm excited about what I've learned, but I don't think I would recommend that other developers try this route at this time. Iâ??m posting this here hoping that the Managed Newsgroup team will pass this along to the appropriate MS people. In addition, ***I would appreciate feedback from the SharePoint community.*** Your support here could help MS pay attention. If you have integrated WSS/MOSS with InfoPath, have you found similar issues? Are there support resources I am missing? I'm hopeful that the non-managed Forums will be better than the non-managed Newsgroups. I think MS should do more to support a community of developers using WSS with InfoPath. A managed Newsgroup or Forum would be a great first step. Please share your thoughts! Tag: creating new sub-site with MOSS 2007 Tag: 66933

    - Stored proc and dataview. Hey all, I have a stored procedure which i have one parameter in built username which i am passing the current users username. I'm having the following issues when i attempt to change the filter or add additional parameters after i've added the stored procedure into a data view webpart. The data view breaks and no data is available afterwards. Is it even possible to apply filter's on data from a stored proc in a dataview? Tag: creating new sub-site with MOSS 2007 Tag: 66931

    - Calculated field total of tasks rolling up to a project I've created a "task" list and a "project" list. I'd like to get a calculated field total of all tasks rolling up to a project. Example: Project 1 Task A = 5 hrs Task B = 10 hrs Calculated field for total task hours = 15. Ideally this field would be a column in the Projects list. From what I can see the calculated field in a list can only sum from columns in it's own list. Does anybody know of any workarounds I could do with SharePoint Designer or possibly something easy within Visual Studio (newbie). Thanks, Colin Tag: creating new sub-site with MOSS 2007 Tag: 66928

    - Pulling data from InfoPath form submitted as email I'm interested in having users submit InfoPath forms to a Sharepoint site via email, then take the data in the form and perform workflow tasks based on this. As of now we are unable to get the data from emailed forms to be imported into the list. If we submit directly to the library it works fine, but this is a security problem for us. We need to enable users without access to the site to submit forms. We need to do this to preserve privacy on the site-- we need to have multiple submitters but don't want them seeing other folk's data-- and multiple sites is not an option.

    - SharePoint Calendar View Issue Hi All, I have just found several issues with Calendar View from WSS 3.0: Unable to filter by [Start Time] and [End Time] I am not sure why these 2 columns doesn't appear in the Filtering column in the View Settings. The workaround found in the internet is to create calculated column for Start Time and and End Time. However, it doesn't work for Recurring Event, the calculated column will show only first recurring event Start Time. Unable to use "Group By" When I create new view in Calendar using format: "Standard View, with Expanding Recurring Events", there is no option to specify "Group By". Anyone knows how to show all recurring event in List view and grouped by Start Time (or any other column). Thank you and apprecate for any idea. Tag: creating new sub-site with MOSS 2007 Tag: 66918

    - Workflows dont run after deploy (but I open and save ...) Ciao to everyone. I build a sharepoint site (WSS 3.0) with SP Designer. In this site there are many workflows. After testing I saved the site as template, but when I created a new site using template I got a surprise because some workflow dont run (Error: Impossible start). So I opened the workflows with Designer (on the new site) and saved it without any modify. After this action the workflows run correctly. Do you can understand why? Do you think what I can do to resolve this problem? I must deploy the site on a Sharepoint Server where I can't operate with SP Designer. Thanks Tag: creating new sub-site with MOSS 2007 Tag: 66914

    - WSS FAQ additions and corrections - 25th - 31st May 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 25th - 31st May 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.

    - Creating a default view for document libraries? I've poked around the group a bit but don't see this question specifically (or at least my searches didn't pick it up.) :) At my company we create a document library on sharepoint (WSS 2.0) for each individual project that we are working currently. Inevitably we want to sort the documents into categories, but not all of the people who create the libraries know (or care) to enable the category lookup when they create the library. Is there a way to set a "default" sharepoint view for new document libraries? In this way I wouldn't have to go back and add the column in later, and then be stuck editing categories in 20 different documents.

    - WSS 3 & InfoPath: Pull Values for Dropdown I need some help with an InfoPath dropdown box that shows values from a WSS 3 site. The InfoPath form stores data in a WSS 3 Forms Library. Each form stores an ID value that uniquely identifies the form. I need add a new dropdown to the form. The dropdown will allow users to select the ID of another, existing form. The user should click the dropdown and see a full list of valid ID numbers. They will select the correct ID number for the cross-reference, then save the new form. I've been able to create a datasource connecting to the list. Infopath successfully populates the dropdown, but only only returns the first 100 ID numbers, the ones that show in the default view. How can I retreive a value from each form, not just the first 100? Thanks! Tag: creating new sub-site with MOSS 2007 Tag: 66888

    - WSS 3: Problem Opening InfoPath Form from Forms Library I am having some trouble opening InfoPath forms from a forms library. The error seems to be on my machine, not on others. I would appreciate information on how to fix the association with InfoPath or other advice on fixing the issue. Here's the background: I am building an InfoPath form stored in a WSS 3 Forms Library. To create a new document, I have been able to click the "New" button in the form library. Clicking that button used to cause the form to load in InfoPath. Recently, however, this machine has been giving me error message when I click on the "new" button. Here is the info on the message box.... Title: "Windows Internet Explorer" Message: "The document could not be created. "The required application may not be installed properly, or the template for this document library cannot be opened. "Please try the following: "1. Check the General Settings for this document library for hte name of the template, and install the application necessary for opening the template. If the application was set to install on first use, run the application and then try creating a new document again. "2. If you have permission to modify this document library, go to General Settings for the library and configure a new template." This maching already has both InfoPath 2003 and InfoPath 2007 installed. Both run fine. I have checked the template in the forms library... it is linked correctly. Testing on another computer works fine. Using another machine, I am able to use the "new" button without problem. That other machine has InfoPath 2003 installed. What do I need to do to fix the association with InfoPath and this form template? Thanks, Scott Tag: creating new sub-site with MOSS 2007 Tag: 66869

    - WSS 3: Deploy workflows to production I am trying to deploy WSS 3 workflows from a development server to a prod environment. I would like to copy the approved workflow to the prod server. For security reasons, we've blocked use of SharePoint Designer on the prod box. I can use Designer to build the workflows on the dev box, but I CANNOT use Designer on the production box. I really don't want to enable Designer on the prod box. Instead, I would like to complete the workflows on the development box, then deploy them to production WITHOUT using Designer. I CAN connect to the prod server using a UNC connection, allowing me to copy files using the folder interface. I've tried to copy the four files I found in the workflows folders: --aspx file --xoml file --xoml.rules file --xoml.wfconfig.xml The file copy succeeds, but WSS 3 does not recognize the changed workflow. If there a way to update the workflow by copying files? If not, is there a way to do this without using SharePoint Designer on the production box?

Hi MJ

New site collections (created from Central admin and with special permissions) can only by created in managed paths, so
you might want to create one of these for each department (if they need seperate admins)

Then log into each site and create subsites for each subdepartment from there (Site Action menu).
