    - Accessing a SQL Server View in an Data View I have STS 2003 with all the latest patches and service packs. I also have a SQL Server with all the latest patches and service packs. I have created a data view in the past which returned information from a specific SQL Server table. When I go to create a data view and I look at the list of Tables, views or stored procedures, I only see stored procedures and tables. All of the tables are listed as Type table or view. But I only see views there. I originally thought I had a permissions issue, so I tried it as sa and that didn't change anything either. Is there something on my SQL Server that I need to change? Or is there another way that I should be doing this in Front Page (or elsewhere)? TIA for any ideas. Tag: The search service is unavailable or access was denied. Tag: 39506

    - Editing some code Hey All, I have a wss page that has some webparts on it. What I have done is pulled off the webparts in frontpage and pasted each one to its own seperate webpage. When you navigate to a specific link you get a webpage with a single webpart on it. Now what i would like to do is to take away the hyperlinking contained inside the webpart itself. This is simply a standard list with an accompanying webpart view. When you click on the link it takes you to the actual list item. The real goal here is to prevent end users from seeing the WSS back end. By this i mean i really dont want people to even know (besides from the webpart) that the page was created using WSS. I figured, before i started this project, that i would be able to track down the hyperlink fairly easily but upon closer inspection it seems that the links are built dynamically. If you can suggest another way i am open to any ideas you guys and gals have. -- Thanks, Jonathan Finkbiner Tag: The search service is unavailable or access was denied. Tag: 39505

    - Installing Webpart using Wppackager fails I've updated our windows server 2003 last week with servicepack 1. But now i'm unable to install a our webparts. We've created installers with wppackager and all of our installers did work until the servicepack 1 upgrade. I've tried to install on a different windows server 2003 ( clean install + sp1 ) and they do work. So i'm guessing it's a configuration issue, modified by installing servicepack 1. I really don't have a clue what's wrong. Some help would really be appreciated. Thanx in advance! -- Tag: The search service is unavailable or access was denied. Tag: 39504

    - About Web part pages Hello, Because I want my own design and I don't want to mess up with WSS sites, I have taken the habit to create separate Web part pages to display information. My questions: - When I modify such Web part pages in FrontPage - for example to remove the top Navbar - does it unghost the site? - When I modify the page in SharePoint (using "Design this page"), it does not create a new version of the .aspx file. Does it mean that these changes are stored outside the page? Thanks! Tag: The search service is unavailable or access was denied. Tag: 39485

    - Meeting Workspace Link Editing Simple request but probably impossible to solve. How do you edit the link between a meeting in a meeting workspace series and outlook calendar entry? More Detail: We have a meeting workspace that is a series of meetings going back over a year. It used basically as a minutes and decisions type of thing and works brilliantly. The MW was created in WSS but the series was created in Outlook and linked to the WSS. However in August we had to change the machine the WSS site was on (lease was up) and we migrated everything to the new server. It appeared to go very well and everything just carried on working. Unfortunately we changed the name of the server the site is on and this has lead to a big problem now. We needed to change some things with the series so the recurrence was changed slightly in outlook. Problem is the Link to the meeting workspace in outlook is burried somewhere and now none of the calendar entries link to their respective meetings in the series on WSS and any attempt to change anything is no longer reflected on the WSS as the changes are being sent to the old server name and location of the WSS and we are getting a bounce back saying it can't update the meeting workspace. So anyone know how I can fix this? I know someone is going to jump all over this and say it's an outlook issue but I checked the outlook groups on google first and they have woefully little on meeting workspaces and linking to them, other than how you do it. So any help you can give will be greatly appreciated. Tag: The search service is unavailable or access was denied. Tag: 39480

    - Is it possible to create a list with the features below? I need to create a list of news items with the following features: =B7 The author has the option of EITHER typing in an article OR entering a URL to another document/outside link =B7 The list has several fields, but to simplify, it has an article title and a business segment field that the list must be GROUPED BY. =B7 When the end user opens his screen, he sees a list grouped by business segment of article titles. =B7 When he clicks on the article title he is taken either to a view of the article or to a document / outside link. This functionality is very similar to the news functionality; but this list must be grouped. I have come very close to achieving this by: =B7 Adding a calculated field called articlelink in addition to a document/externalLink =B7 The calculation for articlelink: =3DIF([Document/External Link]=3D"","http://portalName/C18/InsideBusiness/Document%20Library/newsdev= read4.aspx?View=3D%7bD5C43636%2d0FE4%2d4B75%2dA6F6%2d224AD894319F%7d&Filter= Field1=3DID&FilterValue1=3D"&ID,[Document/External Link]) The articletitle field is a dynamic hyperlink field containing the result of the calculation for artclelink. It takes you to a view of the list containing just the article that was clicked on. The view is designated by the ID of the list item. The articlelink field has the above calculation in it. It works perfectly until we add a new item and due to the timing of the ID field assignment, the link is not fully updated. I discovered that this is a known problem. I am wondering if anyone has discovered a workaround to this problem or if anyone has any thoughts on how to accomplish my list objective above?

When a user comes along later to edit the issue, the description text field is blank. They can enter a new description and save.

In this case there are 10 WSS sites (each for one store). A person at each store is responsible for data entry (purschase form). Is it possible to then collect the data from the 10 stores to site no. 11 ? Kind regards, Jeff Tag: The search service is unavailable or access was denied. Tag: 39464

    - Limit Date value in Date Time Field ? I have a rather interesting problem. We have a Custom List in WSS used to record Timesheet data which uses several of the regular field types, including a "Date and Time" field to record the date of the Timesheet entry. We would like to restrict the user from entering a date that is greater that eight days ago (i.e. Today-8 Days). This is an attempt to prevent people from entering their weekly timesheet data more than a week after the day in question. Is there a way to do this in the default settings and if not is there a way to hack the code driving the list/form using VS ? Any pointers at all greatly received Thanks in advance for any advise, Al Tag: The search service is unavailable or access was denied. Tag: 39463

    - Install WSS, System Error 1057 I've really got a mess here. This may not be a SharePoint install problem, rather it might be Windows domain and firewall issues. I have a 2003 domain controller which also hosts SQL Server 2000 SP4. In the same subnet is another 2003 server that hosts WSS (call it Server1). This was installed with remotesql=yes, I also setup accounts for application pools, granted access in SQL Server. Great, the whole installation works as it should. Now I have to setup another WSS server (call it Server2) in a different subnet. This subnet is our DMZ and the port restrictions have been pretty severe. Sysadmin has opened all the ports we think we need for Active Directory and other Windows domain participation. Server2 used to have WSS with WMSDE (SQL desktop edition). Rather than screw around with modifying config, I removed WSS and WMSDE, then reinstalled WSS with remotesql=yes. Selected "Server Farm" option. Problem #1: it takes literally 3 to 5 minutes for the WSS Admin page to come up. Every time I go to the page "localhost:22234", it takes minutes. I KNOW this is wrong. Then when I try to setup Configurable admin application pool I get Error 1057 if I use a local account with Administrators privileges (and also IIS_WPG and the other, or whatver those are). If instead I use a domain account "MY_DOMAIN\whoever", I get a "cannot authenticate" or somethiing like that - I'm not convinced that our domain participation is fully functional, but does it matter at this stage? Problem #2: On Server1 (the good installtion) I see that SPTimer runs as "MY_DOMAIN\someone". On Server2 it used something else. So I tried to change SPTimer to same domain account, but get the "cannot authenticate" message. So then I tried a local account and now get 1057. So what can I deduce from all this? 1. Domain participation of Server2 is suspect. 2. It takes minutes to load localhost SharePoint admin page, does this have anything to do with domain participation? I can't see how. I'm lost, please help! -- ----- Glenn Nelson in Santa Cruz Tag: The search service is unavailable or access was denied. Tag: 39447

    - Persist user information using only out-of-the-box web parts I am looking for a simple way to persistent a couple of pieces of user information (LoginID, ProductID, max. 4-5 pieces of information) on a WSS site. The end result is to produce a series of hyperlinks to a old backend database like this: Show All My Problems - http://server/query.cfm?loginID=[loginID] Show All My Current Project Problems - http://server/query.cfm?loginID=[loginID]&productID=[ProductID]. Using the standard XML web part, I tried to use a simple XML file, like this <UserData> <LoginID>57</LoginID> <ProductID>104</ProductID> </UserData> Then use an XSL to render the dynamic links into HTML like this: Show All My Problems - http://server/query.cfm?loginID=57. Show All My Current Project Problems - http://server/query.cfm?loginID=57&productID=104. This works fine for a single person. I wanted to have each user only change the XML portion of the web part, customize the userinformation to him/her. Thus, he would do this once, and we would persist the user's data in the XML portion of the web part. My limitations that I am working with: Current web pages, html pages, aspx etc and standard out of the box Web parts only. (basically anything I can do with the current SP interface) Can't create a custom web part (real easy to retrieve the user information in the tool pane). Can't change server configuration to enable serverState (don't have access to the server) Links generated will be over 260 characters, so I can't use the links web part. User specific data is not sensitive data, others could see this information if they had to (thinking of a SP List) Does anyone know of an easy way to embed user information into a team site somewhere?

    - Authentication from different trusted domain I have a WSS server in an external AD domain. I want to enable my internal AD Domain users to access sharepoint sites on the WSS server. I've set up the trust relationship between the two forests, and all is well. I have been able to assign a user from my internal domain to the user list for a Sharepoint site, and the user is able to log in to the site, but have not been able to assign a security group from my internal domain to the Sharepoint site. I can assign the group, but users in that group can not log in to the site. Is this working as designed? If I'm assigning rights to a sharepoint site from a different AD Domain, does it have to be at the user level, not at the group level? Tag: The search service is unavailable or access was denied.

    - File MetaData and Views Hello all, I want to organise our company's documents using metadata. My goals are: 1. Upload - Create documents into one or more Document Libraries (I don't mean multiple copies, just making clear that what follows will have to apply to more than one library). 2. Assign metadata to these documents, most of the time using lookup lists. Good examples are `Customer` metadata (i.e. a list of our customers and each document would be related to one - or more - customer) and document type (i.e. a document can be of type `Order`, while this could be a Word document, PDF etc). 3. Different libraries will have different `mandatory` metadata, while all libraries will share the same lookup lists (i.e. the `orders` library will require the `customer` metadata but `presentations` library will not require `customer` but `product` metadata and so on) 4. I want the users to be able to view those documents through (pre-designed) views, depending on the metadata, no matter the location (library) of the document. Now, I managed to get all 1,2 and 3 in a document library but I can't get to 4. There is now way I can see in one view documents from more than one library. Is this thing possible in STS? There is an obvious but un-acceptable solution: Put everything in one library. But there are several issues with this approach: a. Permissions. If I use one library, I have one permissions' set for all users and all documents. b. Efficiency. As I know, there is a limit on how many documents and folders (if I use folders, but I'd prefer not to) a library can hold. c. Mandatory fields. I will have to either require all metadata or leave all metadata optional. Any advice on how to accomplish 4 or how to address issues a,b,c will be most helpfull...

I am looking to make some client facing sites and I'm sure we all know how much people like little gimmicks and gadgets - sure when you understand what is going on behind the scenes these enhancements become less impressive - but most users do not know what is going on behind the scenes and they are the ones who will be using these sites i have to set-up Essentially I have a bit of time on my hands and am looking on the net for easy to do (i'm no coder) impressive WSS site enhancements - you know the kind of things which might spin, glisten and generally catch the eye - stuff that is fun but also useful - cool stuff. static WSS sites are ok but there must be one or 2 widgets out there which really take a WSS site to a different level...i am not referring to linking to dynamic data e.g. data-driven web sites but just something or some idea - maybe a way of using linked web-parts for producing value not usually seen - anything at really but especially stuff that some of your users may have looked at and gone "wow that's cool - how did you do that?!!" I look forward to reading your collective replies over the next few days... Best Wishes, Steve Tag: The search service is unavailable or access was denied. Tag: 39396

    - Weird Web Folder behavior - Cannot Copy <filename>: The File Exists Hi I'm having a strange problem with WSS Web Folders. Some of my users have problems copying documents to and from Web Folders (WebFldr.aspx view) - "Explorer View" . Whenever they try to copy, either using Ctrl+c and Ctrl+V, or use the menu "Copy this file" they consistently get the error: Cannot copy <filename>: The file exists. We're using kerberos authentication. When I check the event log it doesn't display any problems, and all authentications are kerberos based. What I find strange is the fact that it works for some users and not for others. A hint: It seems that the users with problems have upgraded from Office XP to 2003 - but even that is not 100% consistent. I tried to repair Office - didn't help. Help very much appreciated Morten Tag: The search service is unavailable or access was denied. Tag: 39384

    - Disaster Recovery (SQL Server May Not Be Running) This isn't so much a question as a point I wanted to make as it helped us greatly. It's mostly to say thanks to Dustin Miller as I know he reads these and one of his posts was a HUGE help in us remedying the problem. We recenetly ran into a little problem during a system restore which was giving an error saying "SQL Server may not be running". In case any of you have this problem I figured I'd quickly share our experience with it: What Triggers It: When creating a site that has a list, and a post to that list. For example if you tried to create a Team Site - this site has an announcements list and a post created in that list. This triggers the problem - the "posting part". The reason: The reason is due to the accounts trying to create it. The 'underlying reason' is due to the SID (Security ID) getting mixxed up and not matching up. The solution: Dustin Miller had a script posted that would go down through and get the proper SID's for you to match up again. It worked wonders and we we able to get to the bottom of the problem using this method. So again, this is more to say thanks to Dustin. (don't know the URL of the script offhand but I'm sure he could shed some light on it) Tag: The search service is unavailable or access was denied. Tag: 39378

    - Site administrator receiving access denied. Hello, I am a recent user of Sharepoint and had a question: I have taken interest in SharePoint Portal Server 2003 that was installed and running fine. When I go to the toplevel domain (say: http://mysite.com) >> Site Settings >> Manage users and add a domain user (say: mydomain\mynewuser) as an administrator (site administrator), the user is added as expected. After that, if the local machine's administrator created a site under toplevel (say: http://mysite.com/sites/colleges), site administrator (mydomain\mynewuser) is not able to access/administer this new site (college). Why? Is this by design? Should mynewuser be added as an administrator on (college) site exclusively? Will "college" site not inherit administrative rights of site user "mynewuser"? Toplevel (mynewuser is administrator; can create a new site) | | college (created by local computer administrator; mynewuser has no privileges here. why?) Thank you very much. Sincerely, Chirag Shukla Tag: The search service is unavailable or access was denied. Tag: 39373

    - Business Intelligence for SharePoint web hosting Howdy, I've been tasked with creating reports for a hosting environment of several thousand sites with Windows SharePoint Services on Windows Server 2003 and MS-SQL 2000. I don't think I'll need to get too far off the beaten path with this--looking for stuff like sites near or at storage quota, which files are taking the most space (by extension or file type (e.g. video)), are any sites or subsites dark (no traffic for X months), etc. The SQL Server Report Pack for SharePoint Portal Server (http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/assistance/HA012305181033.aspx) seems to go a long way toward my end except for the Portal Server requirement. Can I set up a 'reporting server' with SPS 2003 and SQL 2000 Reporting Services and run reports off the data from the Data Extraction Program? Or would I have to have SPS on the servers hosting the WSS sites? If SPS is a requirement on the hosting servers, is there something analogous to the Report Pack for WSS environments? (I think we do have some SharePoint Portal Server installations around, but licensing costs make it desirous to keep the main hosting strictly Windows SharePoint Services.) Also my bosses have been mentioning Business Intelligence and specifically MS's Business Scorecard Manager (http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/FX012225041033.aspx). Most of what I've read on BI concerns areas such as sales force automation and supply chain management. Are there any white papers or examples of applying BI or concepts such as the data warehouse matrix (http://www.intelligententerprise.com/db_area/archives/1999/990712/webhouse.jhtml) to web hosting? All our customers are internal, so we're not (currently) looking into areas such as sales and billing. We just want better reports on what's going on with the hosting environment. Any information on reporting or business intelligence for web hosting would be great. Anything specific to SharePoint hosting (with or without SQL Reporting Services) would be greater.

Currently the server my WSS sites are on is not load balanced. But the network load balancing component is installed, but not enabled on the servers NIC.

    - capture a date field and keep it Hi, I want to create a calculated field that captures a date and keeps it. For example, I will have two fields in a sharepoint list, one called 'Commit Date', the other 'Original Commit Date'. The user will fill in Commit Date with a date, Original Commit Date will capture it and not change, even if the user changes Commit Date. It was easy to capture the Commit Date, all I did was set Original Commit Date to a calculated field =[Commit Date]. But every time the user changes Commit Date, Original commit Date changes too.

    - Customized Discussion List Hi, I need to have a discussion board in my portal, but the portal is being used on the "internet". Internet users have the option of registering with the portal (in which case their details are stored in a separate SQL Server database). There are some custom webparts in the portal that are accessible only if the user is registered in this second database. How do i get the Sharepoint discussion board working with my set of users. I had one approach in mind but wasn't sure how to go about it. 1) I can make the discussion board anonymous technically. 2) Then i can treat my posted by "username" as just a field in the discussion list "post". For this i will have to create a webpart that inherits from "List" and uses the Discussion Board template. 3) In this new web part when a "save" happens, i will have to put in the "username" from a session into the field. This session variable would have been created when the user logged in using my login page which links to MY database. Has anyone done anything similar? How would such a solution be implemented?

Hi.

The SPS Search routine doesn't work with standalone WSS sites.

The people who will know about it will be in the SPS newsgroup at
microsoft.puböic.sharepoint.portalserver

The WSS search routine - if used in SPS - covers only single sites in the
WSS part of SPS and thus NOT "Portal and People".

Another reason to ask in the SPS newsgroup.
