• Deb Magsam When I edit a document it opens as Read Only

  Hi: Does anybody knows why if one user is administrator of a site and edits a Word or Excel document, it opens as Read Only He is opening the document with the 'Edit with Microsoft Office...' but he cannot save the document, and it is necessary to delete and upload it again, and he has to do it every time he wants to modify it. Regards. I have the same problem with Excel 2007. I am running a laptop with XP and Office 2003 SP2 and the "Edit in Microsoft Excel" link on the Sharepoint site (WSS) opens the the spreadsheet in Excel ready for editing. When you press 'save', excel pushes the document back up to the server. Everything works as advertised. If I attempt the same using a laptop runn ...Show All

• TedSA Document Converter Problem

  I am trying to implement a document converter for sharepoint 2007. Our organization is rather large and will not be rolling out office 2007 for some time to come. That means the majority (myself not included) of our users are going to be on office 2003 for a while. We have implemented sharepoint 2007 and I have discovered the xml features of the new word format to be a boon for development. However, I have also found the document conversion pack doesn't always work so well. So I am trying to create a docx to doc converter that anyone can use via sharepoint document libraries. Here is the code I am using to do the conversion. It works great when I execute it, but halts on the documents.open(....) call when executed by the office document co ...Show All

• NONO_COOL Multivalued bdc column - a dream?

  I think (based on experiment and crawling through the internet) that this is impossible, but I will ask again - does anyone know of a way to make a BDC column multivalued I have a web service that allows people to seach for values from an external system, but they need to select more than one value. Please let me know if you know the solution. Thanks, Ishai Sagi I wrote this for 2003, and the company I used to work for now upgraded it to 2007. it's called "sharepoint list synchronizer" and it allows you to specify jobs of copying data from external sources into sharepoint lists (as well as copy between lists). I am pretty proud about that piece of software, even though I dont work for them anymore. http:// ...Show All

• lio99999 Adding a field to an existing content type using a feature

  Hello, I am trying to add a "category" field to the built-in Article Page content type. This field will select a category from a domain of values. I have created a new Site Column for the category, and can deploy it via a Sharepoint feature. I can add it to the Article Page content type easily through the content type gallery, but I would like to do this via a feature for easy deployment. Is it possible to modify an existing content type with a feature Thanks, Michael Michael, When you install SharePoint, the installation program pretty much just uses a bunch of features to build in all the default content types, list types, site columns, etc. You can find all the feature files for ...Show All

• MilesP documents per view

  Hi,   I have a webpart that shows me the nr of documents of a library that have a certain view. The user can enter a certain view, wicht exists for that library, and then it shows the # of documents that view has. If the view has a filter, and it shows 2 of the 3 documents of the library, then i want my result only 2. Now I can only make this happen if the user selects this view as the Current View, but I want this result also when the user has not selected this view as current. So what I actually try to achieve is when, in Sharepoint, you go to your Document Library, and choose on a certain view, i want the list of the documents that are in that view. Here's my code so far, does anybody have a clue Thanks in adva ...Show All

• Simon Clemen Using Object Relation Mapping Tools

  I am planning to use Object Relation mapping tool in our project, presently we zeroed on Nhibernate. Just before implementing i want to seek advice on the below points Any cons of using OR mapping tools Any known issues Any performance issues TIA, Sudheer. The answer to all your questions is Yes. If you do not intend to use the Domain Model Pattern, then O/R mapping is probably not for you. If this is your first time implementing a Domain Model, I would suggest reading the book Domain Driven Design by Eric Evans, or Applying Domain Driven Design and Patterns by Jimmy Nilsson, BEFORE you get started. More importantly, if you haven't tried persisting objects yourself, then you migh ...Show All

• Danawar Programmatic access to Custom List Form fields, How?

  The Scenario: I have two lists that are linked to each other in a sort of Parent/Child record relationship. It makes perfect sense, from a user experience perspective, to create child record(s) when creating the parent record. (As an example think of an Invoice and InvoiceItems type of relationship.) On the other hand, it is not a requirement from the client so my intention is to customize the Parent record form to take you to the child record NewForm.aspx with some kind of logic that would pass the Parent record ID parameter to the child record and also select that record in the default drop down that MOSS renders for that field. Supporting Material: I am not the strongest MOSS developer, although I've been a developer for many ...Show All

  I am planning to use Object Relation mapping tool in our project, presently we zeroed on Nhibernate. Just before implementing i want to seek advice on the below points Any cons of using OR mapping tools Any known issues Any performance issues TIA, Sudheer. Thanks all for your responses. In very simple terms, a system can be "read heavy" where the Read screens show list of rows, or it can be "CRUD" heavy, dealing with one row of a data at a time. Unless and until you do a lot to design the system well, OR mapping is a good idea only for the latter. So applications like this forum fall in first category and might suffer in perf ...Show All

• Vale Surfer To use DevForce O/RM or Datasets?

  Hello, I am wrestling with the decision on how to design a new (Order Entry) application. I am using VB 2005, and it will be a Windows Forms app. I have about an intermediate+ level of expertise. In the past I have used VB DataSets and the whole dataset designer which connects to the database. Since then I have learned about O/R mapping tools and am considering using DevForce from IdeaBlade. It seems to work well, so far connecting to the database and generating the classes that relate to the tables. I like this concept and think it makes sense. This seems like a big change, or is it My question is, is this a good direction to go Everything you read from the VS documentation refers to typed Datasets as well as the examples. Wha ...Show All
