• JackG CSIDL_COMMON_DOCUMENtS windows server 2003

  Why does the SHGetFolderPath API work with the CSIDL_COMMON_Documents constant on all operating systems including all versions of 2000, XP Pro, XP Home, VISTA and does not work on Windows Server 2003. On Windows Server 2003 SHGetFolderPath used with CSIDL_COMMON_DOCUMENTS is unable to locate this standard windows system folder which actually maps to c:\documetns and settings\all users\documents I don't know if this is the correct forum for this but I am not sure where else to put this question. Our application uses this constant along with SHGetFolderPath to store our machine wide database and init files for our application. If you want an answer to this you are probably best asking Raymond Chen at his 'T ...Show All

• georgeob Data Auditing Techniques in SQL Server

  I am currently responsible for providing a solution to audit data within a SQL Server 2005 database. The auditing should include all data change acitivities (i.e. if data for a field changes, I need to track the old and new value, as well as who changed it and when). I am thinking about two solutions, but was wondering if there is a better way to achieve this: 1. Create one audit table, that has the following columns: TableName, FieldName, OldValue, NewValue, UserID, UpdatedOn. Then, any data change would insert a new record in this "logging" table, specifically writing out the table name and field name, as well as the old and new values for the field. 2. On every table, create an "active" column that designate ...Show All

• Gianluca Colucci Cannot connect Report Explorer and Report Viewer

  This seems to work for other people so I figure it may be a setup problem...

• Pete_M Sharepoint Services 3.0 and AD Security Groups?

  I am running Sharepoint Services 3.0 on a Windows 2003 R2 Server. Everything setup without issue and works without issue. I can add AD security groups to Sharepoint groups and the users get access. However the only security groups that actually grant access are the groups that were there prior to the Sharepoint install. Any groups that were created after the install or changes to those groups are not granted access in Sharepoint. Basically I add a presharepoint ad security group to a sharepoint group for access and it works beautifully. I create a new group, add a user to it, and add it to the sharepoint group - it adds without issue but does not grant access to the site. I even tried creating the group, adding it to the site and lettin ...Show All

• Lovericky Welcome!

     Welcome to this new forum, which is part of the SharePoint forums group that contains a comprehensive set of forums designed to cover all aspects of SharePoint Products and Technologies. I’ve held off on having these forums created for over a year because we already had a handful of newsgroups in place, but the benefits (search, moderation, filtering, stats, flexibility, planned enhancements, etc.) and the recent surge in usage have convinced me that it’s finally the right time to embrace forums as the de facto channel for community Q&A and discussion .      This particular forum is for general questions and discussions, which I’d expect will mostly be presales oriented.

• Pilot_cir Get content type of a file

  I have a few document libraries that have word documents in them, I have to find out the content types of those documents so that I can server them to a web browser that requests them. How do I do this from the SPListItem that I have in memory I really need to solve this issue quickly, any help is greatly appreciated! There are a few tools out that will give you that data. One is the Sharepoint Solution Generator (an MS product). To get the values of these fields from the object model use the syntax: spListItemVar[" File_x0020_Type"] as string Thanks for the tips, but that particular property seems to be giving me the file extension of the file, do you know ...Show All

• Rian Edwards .Net Remoting load balancer needed

  Hi I am looking for the best way to design or purchase a loadbalancer component using .Net remoting. I have an architecture where several servers using .net remoting are used to sevice client apps. The loadbalancer should conduct the call of any client app to the least loaded server. What I have done so far is implementing a small loadbalancer component that keeps track of the available servers and their load. When a new client app wants to login and use the services offered by the servers, it should ask (transparently) the loadbalancer for the least loaded server. The loadbalancer will then return an ObjRef object which the client app will use to authenticate itself to the least loaded server and start using its services. If an ...Show All

• Leon Mayne Document libraries becoming web parts????

  I am seeing document libraries that were create for a site now showing up as a web part in the web parts list. What steps would one do to take an existing document library, including content and it becomes a web part that can be inserted into a page All lists that you create automatically generate a web part that allows users to interact with the lists. Your existing document libraries should also have had web parts generated for them. Thank you. I see now that these document library web parts are only avaiable to the parent or sub sites of the parent and not to other SharePoint sites on that server which was my main concern. ...Show All
