When you go to Central Administration then Operations and then Timer Job Status do you see "Succeeded" on the tasks. Is the timer service using the farm administrators service account? Patrick http://sharepointglobal.blogspot.com/

This is a good one, I don't see a reason why you could not, you definitely can't go backward from SP2 to SP1 without restore issues (mostly the infrastructure update) but I can't think of any time I have had issues moving up version. I would test thoroughly even if the answer here was yes...

First thoughts: You could add the access database to the SharePoint or use Inforpath. You cannot use InfoPath Web Based forms to add content however so you will have open the form with the actual infopath product. If you want to use web based forms capture the data through infopath in...

For automatic authentication either place the site in your trusted sites or your intranet zone in IE and configure IE to send your credentials automatically. Several Thoughts on Authentication: http://sharepointglobal.blogspot.com/2009/04/implementing-help-desk-configuring.html You may and...

I don't think I understand exactly what you are trying to say, but I can give you a few ideas. SharePoint uses a custom version of the webdav protocol. If you inadvertantly altered this in your installation you may have a problem. Otherwise I would consider what else may have changed for your...

MOSS does have security zones built in so that you can let access content, if you need authentication you could use FBA to let specific externel users access and enter content. This is definitely the prefered way. Patrick http://sharepointglobal.blogspot.com/

My first thought is that with MOSS and the publishing features enabled you can really easily customize navigation. You don't have audience targeting with WSS 3.0. Thanks! Patrick Patrick http://sharepointglobal.blogspot.com/

What about using workflows to keep the items synchronized. You could also use one list a source for a dataview web part. There are probably a few ways to accomplish this, its all about the requirments of your site. Patrick http://sharepointglobal.blogspot.com/

I take it an anonymous won't work. I have a few ideas about saving passwords in computers, but they would have to configure their machines. It would probably be possible to send out a memo with the configuration...

Least painful is to do as you suggest: 1. Build two new servers. 2. Then run the prescan tool on your existing farm (always a good thing to do, can fix minor issues). 3. Then move the databases over to your new sql server 4. Then add them into your 2007 sharepoint web application. You can...

You can usually use SharePoint Designer (which is free now) to backup and restore a site: Click on Site then Click on Administration then Click on Backup Website Link to SharePoint Designer: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepointdesigner/FX100487631033.aspx Patrick...
