Hello, SharePoint development should be done on a server. Get a free virtualization package such as VMWare Server or Virtual PC and get an evaluation version of W2K3 or W2K8 if you don't have technet or MSDN subscription. There are solutions available for faking the development environment on...

Lucas: The plain-english translation capability exists. It is called 'consultant'. Most of the time it is simpler, cheaper, and a lot faster than trying to learn everything yourself. In any case, if you have never developed anything before, taking on developing custom functionality does seem a...

Hello, Most likely your workflow is set up to use a form that you iether have not copied or that does not exist. Check out the elements file (likely workflow.xml) and either remove the forms reference to cstwrkflip.aspx or create and deploy that file. you would deploy it to the...

Hello, Let me see if we can figure this out. First of all, I assume you are going to do something more complex than just renaming a title. If not then an event receiver is a lot less overhead. With regards to your solution, however, you seem to have the strong name wrong. Your project is set...

Hello, As I have told you already, a feature receiver will do exactly what you want. You may or may not need to develop a workflow, but to just send an email to a person when an item changes you just need a feature receiver. By the way, Lee, you should inform people that you work for the...

Hello, A workflow is basically just what the name implies, flow of work. Now, unless you plan to maintain the status of who is assigned which document manually, which implies work, you should consider a workflow to handle the work for you. So technically you do not need a workflow, but...

Hello again, Sadly item level permissions is a sad chapter in the SharePoint book. You can use what SharePoint refers to as Item level permissions which basically allows you to say that a user can only view or edit their own items. They cannot share, however, unless they move the item or...

Hello, That depends from where you want to access your new address. If you only want it to be available internally there is no need to expose it externally. .b Blog for my upcoming SharePoint book "Building the SharePoint User Experience": http://www.understandingsharepoint.com/userexperience

Hello, For 3) I have a suggestion: Check out Ted Pattison's article in MSDN magazine on custom auditing in SP. .b Blog for my upcoming SharePoint book "Building the SharePoint User Experience": http://www.understandingsharepoint.com/userexperience

Hello, SharePoint can be a bit quirky when it comes to working with inbound mail on anything but Exchange and IIS. What you want to accomplish is to mimic the IIS way of receiving email which ends up putting the incoming emails in a folder. Then you set up SharePoint to monitor that folder and...

For the record: I am not affiliated with Bamboo at all. Blog for my upcoming SharePoint book "Building the SharePoint User Experience": http://www.understandingsharepoint.com/userexperience

Hello, WSS does not support AD sync out-of-the-box so you need a third-party solution or to write your own. Bamboo has a good solution for this, but it is not free, and as advertising is forbidden I'll ask you to google 'bamboo solutions ad sync' instead. .b Blog for my upcoming SharePoint...

Hello, The short answer is no. The slightly longer answer is: No, not in SP 2003, but quite possible and not even that difficult in SharePoint 2007. The workflow issue is basically what kills the 2003-idea, but 2007 has great support for workflows. I have written a SharePoint BPM article...

Hello, The explorer view is not related to the web interface or Internet explorer at all but rather to the account under which your regular Windows explorer account is running, usually the account to which you log into Windows. So, you might be logged in to the web interface using one account...

Hello, First of all, do not modify IIS. In fact, doing so will likely ruin any chance you have of getting this done 'properly'. The reason is that SharePoint handles all the IIS stuff for you, and if you have made modifications to IIS there is no way for SharePoint to detect or understand what...

Hello, All of what you are asking is indeed possible, and not even that difficult. SharePoint is a great platform, with platform being the operative word. Where most people go wrong is seeing the team sites, collaboration portals, publishing portals and whatnot as SharePoint, while these sites...

Hello, Without some custom development you might be out of luck, since the 'Import from spreadsheet' option only creates new lists, and there are no way to make that process delete your existing list without doing manual work or creating your own importing solution. The good news is that...

Hello, I think that sounds highly unlikely and there is nothing that SharePoint would do. In fact, SharePoint encourages modifying the site specific web.config to support deployment of custom code, so why would it destroy any such attempts? From experience, and I've probably modified a...

Hello, Certainly, try this: using (SPSite site = new SPSite("[YOUR SITE]")) { using (SPWeb web = site.OpenWeb()) { foreach (SPFolder folder in web.RootFolder.SubFolders) {...
