Sharepoint: Calculated Column replace all spaces
Seems like it would be a simple thing really (and it may be), but I'm trying to take the string data of a column and then through a calculated column, replace all the spaces with %20's so that the HTML link in the workflow produced email will actually not break off at the first space. For example, we have this in our source column: fil...

It seems that security setup is a bit of a nightmare with TFS --- particularily as it relates to TFS versus SharePoint versus Reporting Services.
