    - Document Library and MS Word Hi, i have a Document Library where one BDC Column exists. This Column is mandatory. When i open up word and try to save to the Sharepoint Location I am able to fill in all the needed properties inside Word itself. But if I enter something into the BDC-Column and then click the little icon beside it Word throws an error saying : "There was an error in the validation code." The Details pane shows the following : Document Information Panel cannot complete this action, because of an error in the form's code. The following error occurred: Expected token 'EOF' found ':'. //ns3-->:<-- File: script.js Line:170 Unspecified error Anybody encountered this before or has any suggestions for me Thanks, Oliver Tag: SharePoint - Search SharePoint Search Web Parts vs. Filter Web Parts?

    - Limited number of fields when using lookup fields in wss ?? Hi folks, I have a problem that I can't fix in a good way so if anyone can help me it would be very apprecieated. If I use the field lookup as a column type and connects it to another list in your site, you will only get a couple of fields to choose from like, title, id, version, content type. Is it possible to lookup other other fields and how do I do that if possible Best regards Kenth Jansson Tag: SharePoint - Search SharePoint Search Web Parts vs. Filter Web Parts?

    - Infopath form stuck "Upgrading" Hello, I have an infopath form that I tried to upgrade in MOSS(on a 4 server farm) through the Central Admin. I uploaded a newer template over an older template(after deactivating the old template) and the new one seems to be stuck on "upgrading". The feature still seems to allow me to activate it on a site collection, but when I create a new document in the forms library it tries to load up infopath and gives me a generic error: "There has been an error while loading the form" The form works fine in while previewing in infopath, as well as on a different server. Does anyone have any ideas why this might be happening Or is there a way to get a better error message from the infopath form services in sharepoint Thank you, Dylan Tag: SharePoint - Search SharePoint Search Web Parts vs. Filter Web Parts?

    - List filter url in MOSS I have been working with the concept called Filter List URL string where you pass into a url the FilterField=<>&FilterValue=<> and it worked great until I expereinced something which is causing me a little problem. The list field I want to filter on is a LINK with a plain name on it but it is a physical link that when you click it you get sent to the associated URL. I wanted the filter to filter on the name in the list showing to the user but instead it seems to be filtering on the action properties of the link. I would appreciate some direction on this.

    - Alerts not working correct with custom views in an issue list I'm trying to get this to work for about 2 weeks now and can't find a proper solution for this issue: We're using WSS V 3 with an SQL Express Database. The alert mails are working fine when I'm the only person who is assigned to this issue, with "Alert on any changes" - option and also with the "My Issues" - option (Im creating issues via a test account and assign them to myself). I'm creating the alerts for the other users (about 50) via the administrator account. After opening a new issue with me and a few other users assigend to this problem the alert message is not send somehow. Also there's no error message generated in the log files and event monitor. The mail addresses assigned to the users are correct, so is the outgoing smtp server (We got a few other systems which are sending via this smtp server without any problems, also it worked for me in the beginning). Also I don't know about the option "Send mail when ownership is assigned". Should I enable this Any help appriciated! Tag: SharePoint - Search SharePoint Search Web Parts vs. Filter Web Parts?

    - List Items Limitations Keith Richie has a good post on 'his' understanding of the Microsoft Capacity Planning guidelines. http://blog.krichie.com/2007/02/14/can-you-really-have-more-than-2000-items-per-folder-in-sharepoint-now/ so if you stick to the ~2000 per list/folder you won't hit any issues. If you go above this you need to be aware that you may see some issues depending on the use of the list an the way code works against it, as always if you are able to do your own performance testing based on your solutions that is the best approach.

Reason: If you are in a meeting you know only a part of the team site name and a part of a members name. Currently I have only seen each subquestion as one part, but not combined the two questions.

    - using BDC for talking to queue Correct, you will need to provide a web service interface. For the conversion part, you could do your own code and talk to the BDC runtime to get the data, then you could transform into the format you need. On the BDC web part, you could have an action that invokes your "convert" functionality. BDC allows you to customize the actions on the BDC web parts.

How if I want to show 9 indexes, from 0 to 8, meaning 9 different "group" names..from that username.. I know it's a matter of converting a "collection" into "individual" names....

    - Migrating custom lists Hello, we have a customer that wanto to migrate his Sharepoint single server from SPS 2003 to a farm equipped with MOSS2007. The content database is about 80 GB. We did an in-place upgrade and, after some problems, we've got through with no problems. However, during last year, we did some customization on the SPS box. In particular we have created a new custom template with a new Property Type following the examples in the book "Sharepoint 2003 Advanced Concepts: Site Definitions, Custom templates and Global Customization" from Jason Nadrowski and Stacy Draper. Now, as expected, during the database content migration, there is a warning that says that some lists can not be migrated due to the fact that the template is missing. Well... in MOSS2007 we have developed a custom column and solved the problem of upgrading the custom template. But we have no idea on how to migrate the lists content. We also have evaluated the way of migrating that contents manually (doing copy&paste in excel view) but in this case we loose the information on who has created the original item.

Is there a succinct explanation of when to use the Search web parts vs. the Filter web parts - on a list, for instance

Re: SharePoint - Search SharePoint Search Web Parts vs. Filter Web Parts?

Ian Morrish - MSFT

Hi,

If you are only working with one list then the filter web parts are the way to go as the results can include any columns of the list and include all the built in sorting and filtering of the results.

The Search web parts will only display the results using the XSLT you provide and can only include the fields being indexed. Search is good in that it will find items across many sites/lists.

I hope this clarifies it for you.

Regards,

Ian
