I have a FBA website and then I extended it (to use Windows Authentication) to be able to access it with Sharepoint Designer. It is MOSS 2007 BTW. When I open the extended site with the designer, it shows the MOSS website hierarchy but doubleclicking a aspx or .master files it does nothing. I can open it in notepad... but not in the Sh...

Our server already has symantic anti-virus with autoprotect enabled w/ regular scans and updates. I tested it and it does automatically scan uploaded files to document libraries.

Hi I'm looking for a way to get the categories defined in the site directory of a portal programmatically. As far as I could see categories are represented as fields of the type "choice" with multiple values the user can chose form. My problem is, how could I distinguish category fields from normal fields like "title" or "author". Act...

A simple scenario: I want to delete a pagelayout that is out-dated from our MOSS publishing site. An ex-colleague has created a new page using this page layout and he has not checked it in. I can't delete the pagelayout because his file is referencing it. I can't 'see' the file because it hasn't been checked in, to remove it. I've trie...

So I figured out that by adding the ResetWebServer="FALSE" attribute to the solution manifest prevents SharePoint from recycling any app pools. However, when upgrading a solution that originally did not specify ResetWebServer="FALSE" or when retracting a solution that does specify ResetWebServer="FALSE", the application pools are still ...
On a content type in a SharePoint (MOSS 2007) site I want to show an icon if the property is a certain value. The column is a Yes/ No so the selected value should be fairly easy to determine. So how can I, in the ASPX, show read the value? I know I need to modify the web.config to allow for in-page C#, but I'm just not sure how to find...

As the title says, I'd like to know if there's a good book about using the Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 API from an external .NET web application? I mean.. assuming that it's possible to do that without deploying the application to the SharePoint server..? Or I can do that if I have to, but I just want to use certain SharePoi...
Hi, I've used the central admin backup facility to backup our Shared Services Provider. The backup location was a drive on a new server. I then try to restore the SSP via central admin on the new server. It fails with an error relating to the fact that it cant find the .mdf files that it requires. It is looking in the location that the...
