    - your general experiences with sharepoint workflow dev Cheers - I was wondering if it was just me finding this difficult I've spent the last couple of weeks trying to get up to speed and even though I can look back and see how much i've learned, there still seems like an endless *unknown* sea ahead. Lots of key undocumented things seem to hinder things at every corner. Compound that with working on a virtual machine and things can get rather frustrating at times.

    - Infopath reporting in Excel Hi Paul Thanks for your reply. Can you elaborate a bit when you sya submit the data to SQL. How can I do this If it is in the database it is so much the better.

    - difference between search and query server? Thanks so much for replying. OK, This explains Query servers very easily. But then again what is a difference between Search and Indexing Server because as I understand you can only have one Indexer per SSP as well. And as you say that a Search Server is a server that does the grunt work of indexing content than what is the Index Server do a bit confusing or is it like search server aka index server, is it like that Anyways, Thanks so much, you were very helpful.

    - Asynchronous calls with SharePoint Web Parts I have looked into it and Anthem.net is more light-weight and easier to deploy. Easier deployment is another reason.

    - Separate Association and Initiation forms Sorry, I still haven't had any luck. Here is what I've tried so far. I copied the schema from the IP form into the FEATURES file (I know it's already there as part of the form's xsn file, but you never know). I tried using the default name IP gives it (myschema) and I also tried naming it to match the name of the IP form. I also went back and named the fields collection in the IP form to match the name of the form. I had them named differently, but I noticed in the logs it was looking for the schema of the fields collection's root element so I thought maybe it was getting lost since the IP template had a different name. None of this worked and I've run out of ideas. If you figure this out, please let me know, I'm also 'beating my head against a wall' on this one. :-) -Cynthia Tag: SharePoint - Development and Programming preceding-sibling error "...does not point to a valid location path of a field or group."

    - Wrong in Modify Shared Webpart I have now checked the generated html-code and found out that the prolem is in the following tag: <div id='MSOTlPn_WebPartPageDiv' style="overflow:auto;width:100%;height:100%;"> It's the property "overflow:auto" that makes the page behave crazy. The overflow-property is in the tag and not in a class from a css-file, so how can I change this In Firefox it work like it should.

    - Column available for search scope I would like to build a scope around the [Country/Region] property, but I can't find that record in the Managed Properies ( Shared Services Administration: SharedServices1 > Search Settings > Managed Properties ).

I would also like to set up a "Property Restriction" on that field on the "Advanced Search" page but when I pass a value (ie "China") no results are returned.

    - Setting Task Field Values in Custom .aspx Edit Form and accessing through ExtendedProperties Hi Bernadet, I am experiencing exactly the same error. Did you find a solution My scenario is this: We have a custom content type. If an instance of it is created, a workflow is started. There, we create several tasks (like "add attachment", "delete attachment", ...). All tasks are created the same way. If we execute the tasks, we call the AlterTask method (it's hashtable argument only consists of a "TaskStatus" => "inProgress" value). The strange thing is that some tasks (like "add attachment") work, some (like "delete attachment") don't. Maybe you have an idea and can help my with this problem.

    - Grouping in SPGridView - Template property must be initialized Error Thanks for answering Ton, I've moved the creation of the dataset and columns into the CreateChildControls event, and it still comes back with the same error. I have noticed that it must be due to the databind. Because, when I have the databind before the AllowGrouping = true, it doesn't come back with the error; though it doesn't do the grouping either Code Block this.PopulateDataset(); DataView oView = new DataView(_displayData); spgv = new SPGridView(); this.spgv.DataSource = oView; spgv.AutoGenerateColumns = false; spgv.RowEditing += new GridViewEditEventHandler(spgv_RowEditing); spgv.RowCancelingEdit += new GridViewCancelEditEventHandler(spgv_RowCancelingEdit); spgv.RowUpdating += new GridViewUpdateEventHandler(spgv_RowUpdating); spgv.RowUpdated += new GridViewUpdatedEventHandler(spgv_RowUpdated); spgv.AutoGenerateEditButton = true; this.CreateGridColumns(); this.spgv.AllowGrouping = true; this.spgv.AllowGroupCollapse = true; this.spgv.GroupField = "Category"; this.spgv.GroupDescriptionField = "Category"; this.spgv.GroupFieldDisplayName = "Category"; Page.Trace.Write("Set AllowGrouping = true"); this.Controls.Add(spgv); this.spgv.DataBind(); Do you have any other ideas Thanks, Jono Tag: SharePoint - Development and Programming preceding-sibling error "...does not point to a valid location path of a field or group."

I'm having a problem using the preceding-sibling in a conditional formatting condition.I have a secondary datasource that is a repeating table, and want to supress a column when it has the same value as the previous row's column, but the IP doesn't like my syntax.

The repeating table column's xpath is:
/dfs:myFields/dfs Big Smile

ataFields/tns:Get_ContactFlagsResponse/tns:Get_ContactFlagsResult/NewDataSet/ContactCategory/lu_Group

My attempts at the preceding syntax have been based on this syntax:
preceding-sibling::NodeName[1]/elementname

or
current()/preceding-sibling::NodeName[1]/elementname

both raise the same error in the conditional formatting designer.
"preceding-sibling::ContactCategory/lu_Group" does not point to a valid location path of a field or group.

A good article from Greg Collins http://www.infopathdev.com/blogs/greg/archive/2005/06/13/Using-XPath_2700_s-_2700_preceding_2D00_sibling_2700_-Axis-Correctly.aspx

This works: preceding-sibling::*[1]/lu_Group
