I'm writing a solution around MOSS 2007. And storing fairly large quantities of data in a list. My first question is: Can lists handle large quantities of data - around 200 000 items. Now I've already read up about it, and it seems like the limitations of lists are on the number of items the views can display (2000). So question is: Is...
On the "My site" feature of Sharepoint there is a "memberships" Web part that shows the distribution list that the user is a member of. This is picking up several groups that we would rather not be shown e.g. some that have been set up for administrative purposes only. Is there any way to control which groups are shown; ideally this wo...

When a user accesses a SharePoint site he is identified by his wndows identity. I was wondering which identity is used to access the database. Is it the identity of the user or does it use the windows identity of a service, or order to gain the benefits of connection pooling. Thanks Shiraz ...

I've changed the master page on a publish site collection. When I browsed back to the start site to check the new master page the browser just returned a 404 error, telling me that the page could not be found.

I do not know anything about Sharepoint, and my company is rolling it out in a few departments. I am familiar with the workings and usage of Oracle (Stellent) CMS (for storing docs with meta-data, searching for docs, etc), and I am asking if I may use Sharepoint in a similar way? Can I programmatically upload docs to Sharepoint, from a j...
