• andymac7 How to set the number of display rows to unlimited?

  The MOSS 2007 Excel services' report only display ~70 rows at a time. Is there any way to display all rows at once (about 120 rows) Regards, You can control this in the Modify Web Part properties - it's one of them under the View section (I think). You cannot have it as unlimited, but you should be able to set it to 120. There's a limitation of returning 10,000 cells at a given time from Excel Services (IIRC). Thank you very much. I will try it. Regards, Can anyone give me more detailed explanation how to set up this in SharePoint Thanks. Aleksandra Aleksandra, Can you post a seperate thread with specific details on what you are trying to set up. ...Show All

• LouisVanAlphen Change the default theme applied to new sites

  Hi SharePoint people, I have created a new theme in MOSS and was looking for a way of changing the default theme that is applied when you create a new site so that it uses the new theme. Any help welcome. Grant. Grant: I don't have an answer, but only a suggestion of where to look. Have you looked at creating a new Site Template. I am not certain whether the theme information is saved when you export your site using the designer. Just a suggestion... Tom Although I have not tried this yet, Scot Hillier has a post on his blog "How to Change the Default Theme Applied to New Sites". Requires creating a feature and then “staple” the feature to a site or reference th ...Show All

• phanf Hosting Long Running Batch Processes In IIS 6

  I am currently architecting a framework that will depend on IIS to host batch oriented code. The design will use a disconnected model with a controller (that lives remotely) and checks back periodically via an ASMX layer. When invoking the actual batch execution code the ASMX call will spawn as many threads as it is configured to run and immediately respond (hence avoiding any long running HTTP connection). I like the idea for a number of reasons, obviously I get to use a standard communication protocol to invoke the batch code across tiers and I can even incorporate standard load balancing routines. I'm also able to use the same communication end points to check back in on the threads as they are executing. There are also a number of o ...Show All

• TWild Drop Down Menus on Navigation Bar

  Can someone please help a Sharepoint newbie and tell me how to change the navigation bar to have drop down menus I'm sure someone out there has already but I've not found any article at all! Please You may want to add more specifics. Some MOSS 2007 Site templates will automatically give you dropdown lists. Others you may want to just go ahead and manually go to the modify navigation add a heading (link folder) and sub-links in it. However for certain templates you may have to modify the masterpage in SharePoint designer, locate the menu commands in the codeview and what you're looking for is to increase the DynamicMenu attributes.

• DaveParr Modeling for the Home Programmer

  I am working on a couple of programs, but I have just started out. Nothing that I'm doing is overly complicated (I suspect) but I want to map it all out before/as I work on it. Right now, I am using a notebook and pencil, but I don't know if that is enough. It lets me work on the overall flow of information, but not really work in classes. I could move on to UML but I am not sure if that's overkill. Any suggestions for the weekend warrior who wants to plan ahead with his software -Justin Hi, I have similar kind of question and your answer very satisfactory, But before starting to use MS Visio, can i see some examples where some data flow diagrams or UML models are shown for simple database appli ...Show All

• alya Workflow conditions don't work in SharePoint Designer 2007 RTM

  After developing my workflows with SharePoint Designer 2007 B2TR, I upgraded to SharePoint Designer 2007 RTM. After that and on more than one installation, workflow conditions would not propogate. That is the drop down would appear, but the selected condition would not appear on the workflow designer. Repair install of all components, Asp.Net 2.0, 3.0, and SPD didnot fix it. And to make matters worse, attempts to roll back to B2TR failed with "Cannot install over pre-release version" error, even though I unistalled RTM both with the installer, and manually deleting from the drive and registry. Has anyone else seen this problem I am stuck in the middle of a project using an old laptop with the B2TR bits to complete the work ...Show All

• ideal24293 Sharepoint Backup Script

  I'm trying to figure out how to backup the Windows Sharepoint Services sites from the command line, but I am finding the documentation online to be lacking. here is the line I'm trying STSADM.EXE -o backup -directory Z:\Internal Operations\Information Technology\Backup\SharePoint\BackupFiles -backupmethod full which just returns 'Command line error.' I think it might have something to do with the spaces in the name, so I tried saving it to STSADM.EXE -o backup -directory Z:\Archive\test\test2 -backupmethod full and it kind of works, except that there are errors.
