I need to get up to speed with MOSS 2007. The initial requirements are quite limited but I want to make sure that the basic structure does not make future expansion difficult. I am fairly new to MOSS 2007 but have some experience with SPS 2003. Can anyone recommend lively SharePoint groups or forums where I can get answers to my questi...

Can you restart a workflow or push a workflow to its next step using SharePoint Web Services? If so which web service do you use? If you change a field like "Status" and the workflow uses this to know what it should do next... will it "nudge" the workflow forward? ...
I'm putting asp server-controls into my SharePoint XSLT using SharePoint Designer. I've found it's really handy for pre-populating values into the form, or providing a different experience than the SharePoint defined layout (hidden fields, etc). For example, I can use a asp:TextBox control instead of the SharePoint:FormField control if...
I'm customizing a custom list form in xslt using SharePoint designer. In my list, I have a textbox that represents a numerical value.

I'm programmatically creating subsites and want to add links to them the Sites node on their parent's quicklaunch area, like the SharePoint web interface does by default. Rather than enumerating the nodes in de QuickLaunch collection until I hit "Sites" (internationalization issues etc), I'd prefer to use Navigation.GetNodeById. Throug...
I am currently working on a SharePoint project that needs to use the Lists SharePoint web service (Lists.asmx). Therefore, we need to add a service reference to it in Visual Studio. However, we all develop and test on different virtual machines (with different VM names, URLs, etc.). The QA, Test and Production environments all have diffe...
I'm working on a public-facing Publishing site. I need to provide static navigation in the MasterPage. I don't want it tied to my site structure. This won't be edited very often. I'd like to use the standard ASP.Net Navigation controls, <asp:Menu/> and <asp:SiteMapDataSource/> , which assume you have a *.sitemap file in the root. In...
Can a SharePoint expert explain to me the ;# in data returned by the GetListItems() call to the Lists web service? I think I understand what they are doing here. The ;# is almost like a syntax for making a comment... or better yet, including the actual data (string) and not just the ID. This way you can use either, but they are nicely p...
