I am trying to create a workflow to send an e-mail whenever a new version of a file is uploaded to a Document Library. The Document Library has lots of fields that, if updated, will create a new version of the ListItem, but I don't want to start the workflow for this cases. Only when a new version of the document is uploaded (including...

I have an extranet site setup using FBA and aspnetdb. All works fine, but I would like my internal users to be able to access the site using the same URL as a client would from the outside (for example, so they could send them a link and just to reduce confusion as people think these are two seperate "sites"). Is this possible using Alte...
One thing that has driven me nuts about SharePoint2007 is the apparent inability to have defineable settings that apply specifically to a site or site collection itself, and not the content. I mean, you have some pre-defined settings like the Site Logo, the Site Name, and various other things, but there doesn't appear to be anywhere to a...

I'm trying to send an email using SPUtility.SendEmail asynchronously by firing up a new thread to do it. This successfully works at the end of a workflow for a summary email. I tried doing the same to replace a task notification email but ...
I got a call from a user who was trying to access the English variant of our simple portal and was getting an 'Access denied' message. As it turned out, she really wanted the German version and was happy when that worked ok. I would like to find out why she was not able to access the English variant. The error message contained no furth...
I have several data-driven custom built webparts that work fine in the visual studio. Followed a blog http://gj80blogtech.blogspot.com/2010/04/configure-ajax-in-sharepoint-2007.html to the letter to incorporate AJAX as some of my webparts use update panels and tab panels. My custom web parts are listed in the web parts library and when ...

I'm trying to debug a webpart installed on a client's SharePoint instance. I wanted a quick and easy logging feature, so I thought of writing messages to a text file in the temp directory. SharePoint doesn't seem to like it, so what are my options? ...

We are running an intranet website hosted on Sharepoint 2007, serving reports to users via SSRS. Recently, our users are experiencing error when trying to access certain reports with the error message "An unexpected error has occurred".

I'm using the SharePoint 2007 object model API to assign a role to a SharePoint object, however when you do this, you must know the type of SharePoint object beforehand, like this: // apply the new roleassignment to the folder. You can do this at the listitem level if desired (i.e. this could be SPfile.Item…. instead of SPFolder.Item...
