    - Return Linked Lookup Values in a DataView I'm trying to access information behind a lookup field in order to render as a URL. In this case I have a list which has a lookup field to a document library. When putting a dataview on to a web page the value that is returned is the title of the document in the document library. I'm looking for the URL to that page instead of the title. Does anyone know how to get that information within the context of a dataview? Thanks! Colin Tag: custom alertmessage Tag: 3173

    - A number in a Word property is not transferred to WSS We have a Word document with different properties. When we save a document in WSS - the alfanummeric ("text") properties (i.e. "F16" or "Report") are automatically transferred to a coloum with the same name in WSS. However if we create another property with the format number (i.e. 121212) nothing is shown within WSS (The coloum format is "number" in WSS as is the Word property format). Do you have any ideas?

    - Multiple line field in Document Libraries I have noticed a difference in behavior between the multiple line fields of a document library andother lists. In a document library, I am not allowed to save a record which has more then 255 characters of text in a multi line field. I have tried this on several document libraries on multiple servers. There seems to be no limit in the amount of text you can have in a multiple line field in other types of lists. I have also noticed that when adding or modifying a multiple line field in a document library, there is no choice to allow rich text editing. That choice exists in the properties in other lists. Can anyone confirm this behavior, and explain why there is this limit? I want to enable users the ability add their comments on a particular document, and this will severely limit that ability.

    - Data View Web Part Caching I'm using the dataview webpart to display RSS feeds. It works beautifully, but I'd like to know what the cache options actually do. I have it set to "Default" in the Miscellaneous section of the options for the web part and the cache time-out setting is 0 by default. What does this mean in practice? .... is the server downloading the RSS file every time the page is requested, or does it mean something else...... Also, I can't open pages with these webparts in Frontpage 2003 ("A web part or web form control on this web part page cannot be displayed or imported because it is not registered as safe on this site...." etc) Is there any documentation on this?

    - Installing DC after WSS has been installed means trouble ? Hello people, First of all: a very happy 2004 to you all ! Now, I had a Windows 2003 server installed with WSS on SQL 2000 working just fine (all on the same machine, together with IIS). For some specific reasons, I had to upgrade the machine and install active directory (make it a DC) at a later stage. This installation has "broken down" my WSS and I am having some trouble to get it back on line. I first got the "Service Unavailable" errors and cured this by selecting the right application pool on the virtual server in IIS (why was this changed during the DC-installation ?). However, once I go to my WSS home page, I always get a "You are not authorized to view this page" error, even if I'm loged on as the administrator on the server itself. I think the connection between WSS and SQL or at least the rights of the account that connects to the SQL-server got messed up somewhere along the road, since the initial settings in the "set configuration database server" of my WSS administration pages now gives me an "create database permission denied" error. I think I should be able to solve this by adding an account to the SQL WSS database (NT Authority/Network account ?) and set the correct rights to it, but I don't want to mess around with this before I'm sure. Also, if this is the case indeed, why do I need to do this ? Should I had the DC installed before installing SQL/WSS/DC/IIS ? If so, what would be the best thing to get this up-and-running ? I have no problem re-installing one of the above applications it this solves the problem, rather than messing around with accounts and maybe forgetting a couple of settings... Many thanks in advance for your advice ! Regards, Benoit. Tag: custom alertmessage Tag: 3100

    - reinstating mssql$sharepoint service I still have the problem from my original post (12/31/03 - can't connect to configuration database), and I'm wondering if (part of?) the problem is that I don't have the mssql$sharepoint service installed. However - If I attempt to reinstall msde, I get an invalid instance name error. I know that I can specify the instance name on the command line, but when I run setup with INSTANCENAME=SHAREPOINT, setup runs *almost* to completion, then silently fails. The application logs just say that installation failed with no additional information. Am I on the right path here. I've done nothing but read articles and try various things out for the last day and a half, but I'm no closer now than I was when I got into this mess. I'm installing sql server 2000 sp3 on this machine now, because I've tried everything else I can think of, and I'm hoping that will give me some more options. If anyone missed my original post, here's the summary: 1) Sharepoint was working great 2) I accidentally uninstalled msde 3) I tried reinstalling sharepoint (choosing repair) 4) Access requests result in "configuration database not found) The database is still there - I just don't know how to get them connected. If I attempt to access the server through the sharepoint admin site, I get an error that "the virtual server referenced here is not in the configuration database" - but I don't know how to get it there, nor do I know if it's the same or different problem.

    - Is it only me? Frontpage and Sharepoint RPC POST docs - a mess I'm trying to figure out how to use the Frontpage and Sharepoint HTTP RPC extensions. I'm trying to do a POST to do some command like "list themes", but the documentation seems to be a mess and I can't figure it out. Some of the docs say to use _vti_bin/owssvr.dll, some of the docs say to use _vti_bin/_vti_aut/owssvr.dll. Some of the docs say to use "Cmd=method name", and some of them say to use "method=method name". In any case, my POST is returning "(404) not found", a very cryptic and un-useful message if ever I saw one. Does anybody have experience with this stuff?

    - Can't connect to configuration database on reinstall I was pointed here from the sts group. I debated titling this post "I'm an idiot" - because I sure feel like one. I was removing some old software from a server today, and accidentally uninstalled msde (I meant to select the item above msde in add/remove programs - feel free to make fun of me now). At that point, I probably *should* have just reinstalled msde, but I didn't notice the separate installation directory on the cd (this is sts 2.0 on server 2003). I reinstalled sharepoint, but now when I attempt to connect to the server, I get a "can't connect to configuration database" error. If I launch the administration pages on the server, and attempt to access the configuration pages for this virtual server, the config page can't be found. I've verified that the application pool is set properly in the IIS configuration for this web site, and I've also verified that the database it *should* be connecting to still exists. I'm willing to try anything to get this server back up. It's frustrating, because I think it shouldn't be that difficult... If it will help at all, I have an unused copy of SQL Server 2000 enterprise that I could install if the tools included with SQL would help me out. Any ideas? Tag: custom alertmessage Tag: 3030

    - Using text formula in default value for a field Hello: I can't seem to figure out how to set up a text field so that the default value (for new records) is a concatenation of other fields in the same record. In this case, I have a single-line text field called "Full Name," and three other single-line text fields called "First Name," "Last Name" and "Honorific". According to the online help that comes up when I click the "Show more information" link on the Change Column page, I should be able to enter as a "Calculated (default) Value" a formula such as: =[Honorific]&" "&[First Name]&" "&[Last Name] and have WSS enter "Dr. Victor Zhivago" in the Full Name field after I type in "Dr.", "Victor", and "Zhivago" in the other fields. But in fact, when I enter that formula, WSS returns the error: The formula contains reference(s) to field(s). Well, duh. I encounter similar problems when trying to use date formulas to create calculated default values. So WSS seems to evaluate functions involving other fields correctly if the target field is of type "Calculated Value" but it does not do so to create a default value for a target field that can be edited. Or am I missing something? Editing the properties of the list in Frontpage2003 doesn't work either. Am I missing something? Any suggestions? TIA, Wayt Tag: custom alertmessage Tag: 3028

    - Author property wrong after migration Has anyone figured out a fix for this: I'm responsible for moving scores of files from our old portal repository to new WSS Document Libraries... I do so and suddenly, I'm the Author on all the documents... this is a BIG problem for us as I can't expect all the correct authors to "republish" their documents in various places...

    - Sharepint 2.0 and SQL Do SQL server and sharepoint have to be on the same server? I have just upgraded to SQL 2000 and would like to install it on a different server than where I have Sharepoint installed, since SQL will be handling more than just sharepoint. I found information on migrating the content data to a server farm, but I just want to migrate it to a different server. thanks -k Tag: custom alertmessage Tag: 3012

    - Solution Accelerator for Recruiting Hi, I am having a problem (a few, actually) with the Solution Accelerator for Recruiting. Is this the right newsgroup for that component? If not, can you direct me to the right one? My first problem is that I have installed the pilot and are in the testing steps of the documentation. In planning for an interview, I get prompted for user name/password and then a "You are not authorized to view this page" error when I try to plan an interview. I have tried the following troubleshooting steps to no avail: - grant all domain users permissions on the Interview_Data form - grant all domain users permissions on the equivalent inetpub\wwwroot folder - grant all domain users permissions on the \Program Files\Microsoft Solutions\Information Worker\Recruiting\Interview Management \Server Components\Web Services folder - if i enable anonymous access on the recruiting web (equivalent to http://recruiting:81) then I get to the page but then I run into a SQL error. Any ideas as to why my installation is failing? Thanks, Teresa Tag: custom alertmessage Tag: 2994

    - Info - new MS Solution Accelerator that uses WSS The latest MS Solution Accelerator (for Proposals) uses Windows SharePoint Services.

    - Info - the remit of this newsgroup [Given the occasional question here that is not covered by the remit of this newsgroup, it seems important to spell it out occasionally. This is the first attempt.]. This is the newsgroup for standalone Windows SharePoint Services (WSS). That's its main function. The products SharePoint Portal Server (SPS) 2003; Project Server 2003 and Small Business Server (SBS) 2003 (both editions) also include a WSS "element". (In the case of SPS 2003 this WSS element is a lower layer of the product. In the case of both Project Server 2003 and SBS 2003 this is an implementation of the WSS product itself which is installed in addition to the other product(s) in the package.) As most of the functionality of WSS is common between all four products mentioned above, it is sensible that discussion on those common functions take place here to avoid having parallel threads happening over several newsgroups. The "common" functions are those functions that are supplied with standalone WSS. Note - "Discussion on those *common* functions!" ONLY. What should not be discussed here are matters that require that particular product (SPS 2003; Project Server 2003; SBS 2003) to be present as these then do not fall under the "common functions" banner. These include for all three products *installation questions* and - for SPS 2003: web parts that are only supplied with SPS 2003 and not with standalone WSS; anything to do with the top layer such as My Site; Areas etc. for Project Server 2003: any special web parts supplied only with Project Server 2003; and special list types provided in the Project Server 2003 implementation of WSS. for SBS 2003: any special web parts supplied only with SBS 2003 (possibly there are none); and special list types provided in the SBS 2003 implementation of WSS (such as the Fax Library). Please try to follow the above guidelines when deciding whether to post to this newsgroup or whether it is best to post to the Product's own newsgroup. Please do not multi-post - people running standalone WSS do not want "their" newsgroup filled with threads that have no relevance to standalone WSS.

    - Upgrade a server or virtual server Ok I upgraded using Setupsts.exe I go to my Extend or Upgrade a Virtual Server list and I click on a specific Virtual Server I want to upgrade and it pops up a window displaying the following message: Upgrade a server or virtual server To upgrade your server to Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services, run Setupsts.exe. Running Setupsts.exe upgrades your server and the default virtual server. If you have additional virtual servers to upgrade, you can upgrade each virtual server individually by using the upgrade operation with the Stsadm.exe command-line tool. Click Start, point to All Programs, point to Accessories, and then click Command Prompt. Navigate to the C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\60\Bin folder. Type stsadm.exe -o upgrade -url <URL>, where <URL> is the URL of the virtual server you want to upgrade. I go ahead and follow the directions and a little SharePoint Setup window pops up telling me to wait while Setup upgrades my SharePoint sites and that it might take a few minutes to a few hours depending on the size of my site the *poof* it goes away and in my command prompt i get the following message: [DBNETLIB][ConnectionOpen (Connect()).]SQL Server does not exist or access denie d. (Error code: 17). Any suggestions? Tag: custom alertmessage Tag: 2970

Anyone know how to do this? Besides the fields they give
you in the ADMIN guide, I want to show specific field
names to the alert message so it can specify what an item
is..tia.

Without attempting Ed's search, I have the strong feeling that the FAQ says
that unlike in STS you can amend the text of the message. I don't *think*
that amending the text of the message extends to adding the contents of
fields though. (You could add the field names <grin> but that wouldn't be
much use to anyone)
