We've been happily running on MOSS 2007 Enterprise for quite a while. However, we're faced with the need to move our 2007 instance to a different farm running standard. What should I be looking for in our existing implementation that would prevent us from accomplishing this feat? I realize there are charts offering comparisons between...
We are using WSS 3.0 and I was asked to see if users can set default views on a per-user basis. Is anyone aware of any method (programatic or through the GUI itself) to give users the ability to change default views on a per-user basis? The 30 minutes of googling and poking around in the administrative menus turned out to be unfruitful...
I have a custom sharepoint workflow that I'm developing in Visual Studio. The workflow is running against a document library which has a custom content type connected to it. The content type includes a user lookup field ("owner"). I'm trying to have my workflow assign a task to the "owner" lookup field. However, I've only been able to g...
I need to understand the load sequence for a sharepoint page that uses a query string to filter content. If I pass in a query string, I assume that SharePoint first passes that query string to any web parts that need it, waits for the web parts to load their content then loads the final page? OR does SharePoint first load the page then...

I'm working on a new storage system for a business solution package that consists of around 40 applications. Some of those applications generate documents (mostly docx, some pdf) that are currently saved and organized in a network share folder.

This has been bugging me for a couple days now. A list has content approval and versioning on edits enabled. Here is what's happening: 1) Bob adds item - The item's Modified By is "Bob," approval status is pending and version is 1.0 2) Jake approves item - A new version is not created. Instead, the Modified By is set to "Jake" for versi...

This naturally sets off some recursive event calls as I would expect. Putting a break point at the start of the event handler, I count it stoppping in the event 10 times and then it just fi...
