Sharepoint creates duplicate records in Contact List

Tue, 08 Jul 2008 20:34:53 Z

I'm currently using MOSS 2007 with Outlook 2007. I created a Contact List within Sharepoint and copied my contacts into the list, I then linked the list to my Outlook, but when I do this Sharepoint creates 3, 4 or even 5 duplicates of every entry and while synchronizing it slows down my Outlook heavily. Any ideas to what might be causing the duplicate contacts in the list and how to prevent this from happening again?

separate mail sounds for Windows Live Mail and Microsoft Outlook on same computer

Mon, 09 Nov 2009 20:48:52 Z

I have both Windows Live Mail and Microsoft Outlook 2007 installed on my laptop. However, I don't know how to get two separate sounds for arriving mail in each program. I would like one sound to play when mail arrives in Windows Live Mail, and a separate sound file to play when mail arrives in Microsoft Outlook 2007. I had no problem when I used both Outlook and Mozilla Thunderbird, or Windows Live Mail and Thunderbird. However, I would like to use Windows Live Mail and Outlook for my business mail, and Thunderbird for my personal mail. Any suggestions?

Creating a hierarchy in Access 2007

Tue, 06 Oct 2009 05:45:04 Z

Hi I am looking for any advice on creating the following information within Access. I am educated in Access, but it has been a LONG time.

Currently we have our database in ACT!, but I am so sick of trying to get things into Excel - I would really like to have it in Access, but here is what I really need for our business:

We have a sales based business

I need to start with a company
Most of these companies have multiple locations/divisions. I need these divisions to "show-up" under the company so that we can keep track of that. I don't want to stop and try to sell to each division when it is not necessary.
Underneath each company and division there will be individual contacts.

Any thoughts on how to set that up? Thanks in advance for any input!

How to merge BCM contacts and MS Outlook contacs into a regular W. Mobile contacts

Tue, 08 Sep 2009 12:56:59 Z

Hi,
BCM provides an extension for W. Mobile devices, so that contacts can be imported into the device. The question is that those contacs syncronized from the BCM database are not "regular" contacts and therefore there is no Caller ID for incoming calls or regular way of handling those contacts from the device (as simple tasks as search or call a Business contact). I've found a provider who resolves this (Chapura PocketMirror) but it seem to have discontinued the product.

Do you know if there is a way to solve this? Does BCM 2010 resolve it? Any clue?

I'm starting up a company and one of the firsts is to manage my customers...
Thanks in advance

SP Designer - Workflow help

Thu, 03 Sep 2009 14:02:17 Z

Hey i'm new to SP designer so forgive me if this doesnt make sense. I have an Infopath doc in a Document Library, which has many fields beside it.
When I published the Infopath doc to SP some of the fields within the doc are binded(i think thats the right word) to the fields in SP (eg date submitted), so they change. The problem is they dont update until I refresh the page. Is there a way I can refresh the page automatically after the workflow has finished??

Microsoft Excel adding face value

Wed, 02 Sep 2009 18:12:05 Z

I have built a calculator for my business that involves some multiplication with decimals. I then have formatted the cells to show only 2 places after the decimal point forcing it to round. My question is, for the information I need, I need to be able to add the face value of cells that I specify. I have tried forcing the sheet to everything for face value and that does not calculate correctly. How do I go about selecting which cells to force face value to?

Office Live

Mon, 17 Aug 2009 08:53:45 Z

Dear Sir.

We have moved our domain to our office live. The domain was www.electricmotorsint.com It appears however it is not possible to transfer our mail to our office live. Only my one works lars.dam@electricmotorsint.com . Technical support are unable to give me an idea when this will be solved so my question is is the system developed to hande this yet?.
Basically we are unable to create more e-mail addresses under that domain. We are impressed with office live but we have 8 people unable to e-mail and nobody care in India I assume. Concerning Business contact manager and microsoft accounting if there would ever be an integration to those it would be fantastic as most of our staff are based in Kenya.

Kind regards

MS Access and problems with Pivot Tables

Thu, 30 Jul 2009 12:36:12 Z

We have a number of users who are on different versions of office. A few years ago we discovered an issue with Pivot Tables, namely, if an XP user on service pack 2 had changed any of the selection criteria on the pivot table subsequent users could not change these back. I was told to install SP3 on these PC's and that resolved the issue, i then recreated the pivots. However, a number of our pc's have changed hands within the office and someone with SP2 has changed the view and we can not change it back?

Does anyone know how to resolve this ?

SP Designer Workflow: Overwrite Existing SP List Item (Non-Programmatically)

Tue, 28 Jul 2009 16:43:44 Z

Hello,

I've been searching the net for a non-programmatic solution to a road-block I've encountered but to no avail. For specs, I'm working with SharePoint Designer 20007 and InfoPath 2007. Below is my issue:

I've successfully created a Workflow in SharePoint Designer to where, when a new item in the SharePoint Library is created (which is linked to an InfoPath form) then that new item (InfoPath form submission) will also be created in a SharePoint List; however, I'm needing a way to have it Overwrite a list item baseed off of a field in the Infopath form instead- I've tried using Update List Item action in a new Workflow in SP Designer, but it does not overwrite the list item. Is there any known issues for this or another non-programmatic solution?

Any help is appreciated on this, thank you!

Questions about publishing Excel Workbook using VS2008

Thu, 23 Jul 2009 15:18:29 Z

First off, I'm sorry this is probably in the wrong forum, but I couldn't figure out exactly where to ask this question.

I'm attempting to deploy an Excel workbook using Visual Studio 2008 (the first I've created in this manner), and I'm having difficulty determining how to compile or otherwise combine the associated manifest and libraries to arrive at a single file deployment. The workbook is designed to be run via SharePoint, and I really really do not want to have to do any sort of install on the local system. I'm not using any non-standard Office references, and essentially could have done everything quite easily using VBA, but thought I'd give VB.NET a shot (I'm a database engineer, not a VB programmer).

Thanks in advance for any help (even if it is simply a pointer to the proper forum)!

Digital signature is lost while saving the xls file in excel 2007

Wed, 22 Jul 2009 13:07:26 Z

Hi,
I have a problem with digitally signed macro in excel 2007. I have an xlam file which has the macro code. The xltm file has the procedure calls for these macro code. All worked fine until the digital signature came into the light.
Now i have digitally signed the xlam and the xltm files. When i open the xltm and save the data populated using the xlam i get a warning message "You have modified a signed project. You do not have the correct key to sign this project. The signature will be discarded. Do you want to save changes and discard the signature or cancel the save action". The digitally singed macro does not work in this case.

My code works like this:
Condition: Enable macro security to high.
The xltm file creates a new sheet and populates the data by executing procedure calls present in the xltm file. The procedures in the xlam mere opens the database and loads the new sheet with the data. The data populated is saved as a separate xls file. I am actually using the xltm file to call the procedures in the xlam file and create a xls file. But I still get a message "You have modified a signed project…….. Do you want to save changes and discard the signature or cancel the save action".

Please let me know if more clear description is required.

Can anyone provide me suggesstions as to how to proceed further.

Thanks,

With regards,

How to attach aspx page in Custom List to default master page officelive.master

Tue, 21 Jul 2009 13:54:14 Z

I created a new aspx page "NewForm2.aspx" in the Announcement List in Sharepoint Designer 2007. Whenever I am trying to attach this page with the default master page i.e. "officelive.master", the Match The Regions dialog box appears. In the New Region drop down list, I am not getting "PlaceHolderMain", hence if I try to match with any other region, the aspx page is not shown in the officelive business application website, resulting in an error page.

However, when I open officelive.master page to view its content regions, the "PlaceHolderMain" region is there with text, image and layout mentioned. But still I am not able to put my NewForm2.aspx contents in the PlaceHolderMain region of the officelive.master page.

Please tell me how to attach my aspx page with the officelive.master page.

Note: I tried attaching with default.master and it worked since PlaceHolderMain regions was there in the Match Regions dialog box.

Cannot edit NewForm.aspx of Custom List in Office Live Business Application in Sharepoint Designer

Mon, 20 Jul 2009 18:19:19 Z

I signed up for a Free officelive small business account. In the Business Application section, I created a Team Workspace application, in which I created a Custom List with only the Title column which is there by default.

I have Sharepoint Designer 2007 installed along with .net 2.0 SDK. According to one of the post, I increased the level of the Local Intranet to Full Trust. But even after applying all these steps, whenever I open my Office Live Business Application site in Sharepoint Designer and try to edit the NewForm.aspx file which is in the Custom List, the page shows an error:-

Error Creating Control - ShellContainer
This is not registered as safe.

The NewForm.aspx page of the Custom List is perhaps attached to the default master page originally.

Please help to resolve this issue and also guide me how to modify the NewForm.aspx page i.e. putting new controls in it, for e.g. If I click a radio button, a textbox should be displayed else remain hidden.

Aligning bar charts in excel 2007

Thu, 16 Jul 2009 01:55:31 Z

We have recently upgraded? to office 2007 at work and I am have an issue with a macro written for office 2007.

Basically the macro hid unused rows on the chart and re-aligned the bar graph.

Now, however, the macro does still hide the correct rows but has a runtime error 438 when it tries to re-align the bars.

I can post/email some screenshots if it will help.

Here is the command (from debug):

Private Sub CommandButton2_Click()
    Call HideEALRows
    ActiveSheet.Shapes("Chart 5").Select
    Selection.ShapeRange.IncrementTop -5.25
    ActiveSheet.Shapes("Chart 14").Select
    Selection.ShapeRange.IncrementTop -5.25
    ActiveSheet.Shapes("Chart 28").Select
    Selection.ShapeRange.IncrementTop -8.25

Can't open Business Applicaitons pages in Sharepoint Designer

Sun, 05 Jul 2009 19:57:44 Z

Whenever I try to open any of the aspx pages from a team workspace (Office Live Small Business) in Sharepoint Designer 2007, in the design view, I get a small box that says:

Error Creating Control - ShellContainer
This is not registered as safe.

I've searched everywhere and can't seem to find anyone with a similar issue.

By the way, just to be safe, I cleared all the stored Passport credentials from Windows' Manage Passwords box - this didn't resolve my problem.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,

Access package solution

Tue, 23 Jun 2009 08:57:52 Z

Hello everyone,

i have an access application and i packed it using the package solution. I will give it to the client to install it on his pc. There will be upgrades in the future for this application, so i have to upgrade it and pack it again. I noticed that while installing the newer version, it does not replace the old one. Is there any way to make the new package replace the old version? I tried everything with upgrade code, product code and product version. I do not get the automatic replacement that i want. Even when i get the repair button, it does not replace the old version with the new one.

Thanks.

MS Access Desktop Development - Future Direction

Wed, 27 May 2009 20:23:47 Z

I am a aspiring Access developer who has enjoyed using it primarily for desktop applications.....however, my brother (who is heavy into website develoment)
has stated that the future of DB development is now primarily in the realm of internet application development. Having said this, can anyone who develops with Access give me some feedback regarding the future direction of desktop development with it......keep in mind I do have an interest in the internet application aspects for DB development and web commerce.....however, I find it hard to believe that the future of DB desktop application development is
completely going away.

Also, can anyone help me regarding converting/updating Access add-ins from earlier versions to newer versions.

My sincerest thanks in advance to anyone who can help me!

Best regards,

Hi All,

I need to access office live web services to perform operations like get the list of document libraries, upload a document etc from an ASP .NET application. The above is possible through a windows application by using Windows Live ID authentication SDK (IdentityManager and Identity classes).

Is there a way to access office live webservices from ASP .NET application? Basically, I need a way to authenticate an office live user from an ASP .NET application and later access the web services. I searched for this a lot but without any success. Any ideas on the above problem will be of a great help.

OFC.EXE to convert DOT to DOTX file for Office 2007 upgrade

Mon, 07 Jul 2008 14:10:21 Z

I need to mass convert a folder of 1700+ word templates (.dot) plus a few .xlt files . I am using the command line OFC.exe from the Office Migration Planning manager install but I get the following error for the .dot files:

Error: Unknown file type: c:\tempdocs\temp.dot

This is the error repeated for each dot file. The .xlt files convert ok. It's just the .dot with the error. Also, if I save the dot as a doc, the .doc will convert without errors?

Anybody seen this before?

How to Convert Document to PDF FREE without Adobe Acrobat?

Wed, 20 May 2009 05:58:46 Z

Source From allpdftools.com

Converting files from other format to PDF is a wise idea if you want to create E-books for selling or making contract or some government report. Adobe Acrobat is the king when creating PDF files but editing files with Adobe Acrobat is not as convenient as Microsoft Office. Actually, there are some tools that can alter Adobe Acrobat. Most importantly, all of these tools are FREE.

NO1. The Office Plug-in, SaveAsPDF

This is a FREE Plug-in released by Microsoft, you can download it from Microsoft.

Then install the plug-in on your computer. After you create Office document, including Word, Excel, PowerPoint and other Office files, click Save As, then choose PDF so you can publish a copy of the document as a PDF file.

If you find there are maybe some typos, just edit the original word files then save it again.

This plug-in is only provided for the Office 2007 users. If you are not an Office 2007 user you can choose other tools which are totally FREE like below.

NO 2. WPS from Kingsoft

Developed by Kingsoft, presented as a MS Office killer at Chinese market, Kingsoft WPS is totally FREE for the personal edition and 100% compatible with all version of MS office. WPS can open MS office file and it can also save WPS files to office files. Create a file in WPS or open an office file in it, then click File, Export to PDF. Download Kingsoft WPS from here.

Encountered this tool 2 years ago, it is the favorite tool I use to create office document and PDF files. The install file is 48.2M only.

NO 3. OpenOffice

There have been over 50 million downloads from OpenOffice download site since they released OpenOffice.org 3.0 last October. It can be downloaded and used completely FREE of charge for any purpose. After you finished a document, you can save it as MS word format or click file, select Export as PDF.

The disadvantage is, the install file is more than 140 M, wish you have a good bandwidth to download it.

NO 4. Google Docs

This FREE web-based word processor and spreadsheet, allow you to share and collaborate your document online. Google Docs can be accessed by the Google account, so if you need to use this tool, register a Google account at first. You will find Google Docs in your account .

Create a document, presentation or spreadsheet with Google Doc, click Download file as PDF, just so easy!

MS office and Adobe Acrobat cannot be altered for the business users in a short time, but it surely a considerable idea to choose one of these tools above for our individuals. Hope after viewing this article, you will find the suitable way to create PDF files.

Content Database Collation

Tue, 12 May 2009 15:25:40 Z

Are there any known issues for keeping SharePoint cotent database on a database instance which has a different default code page (different from the code page 1252, which SharePoint uses)?

Someone told me we will run into issues because the temp database on this instance will have a different code page (it will be in the instance's default code page). According to him, when the temp database is used we will get mismatching collation error, unless all the charcter fields are in unicode.

I find it hard to believe. If what he's saying is true, this is not really a problem for SharePoint content database, but any database that uses a different code page from the default code page of the databaase instance that it is in. If that's the case, why would SQL server even allow users to create a database with a different code pages at all?

Has anyone actually had this issue - SharePoint not working properly keeping its content database on a database instance with code page other than 1252, personally? Or, are there any people who have a setting like this, but have been able to run SharePoint for a long time without any issues?

Thank you for your input in advance.

Webpart and Loadcontrol

Wed, 09 Jul 2008 07:03:57 Z

Hi,

I am creating webparts (ASP.NET 2.0) for Sharepoint and want to separate the UI code from the actual webpart code. I am trying to do this by placing the UI code in an ascx-file that I copy to "TEMPLATE\USERCONTROLS". That code should then be loaded in to the webpart with Page.LoadControl.

For test purposes I have loaded the Welcome.ascx (Sharepoint login menu) into my webpart (this.Controls.Add(Page.LoadControl(@"~/_controltemplates/Welcome.ascx")) in CreateChildControls) and it works well. However, when I try to load my custom controls, I get the message (from try/catch) "The file '/_controltemplates/<filename>' does not exist."

For example, I copied the Welcome.ascx to WelcomeCopy.ascx but still after "this.Controls.Add(Page.LoadControl(@"~/_controltemplates/WelcomeCopy.ascx"));" I get the message "The file '/_controltemplates/WelcomeCopy.ascx' does not exist." What am I doing wrong? The files both have the same permissions and no error is shown in the applications page of event viewer.

To make this even more confusing, the custom control seems to sometimes load and the next refresh I get the file does not exist error message again.

For background information, see http://EverythingForTheNetFree.com/

Is there a way to log into more than one Microsoft Office Live Small Business account with different Windows Live IDs simultaneously? I have different customers with different Microsoft Office Small Business accounts which I need to distinguish from my own OLSB account and must log off my Windows Live ID to use one for the customer site when they call on me for assistance. It has become a headache because I lose access to my main Hotmail account during that time.

Excel Workbooks/Spreadsheets in MOSS

Wed, 01 Apr 2009 23:54:28 Z

Hi,

I don't know whether my problem fits in Excel Services or not. My problem is not just to open Workbook/Spreadsheets in Sharepoint but I have to bring whole current account application which is based on several Excel workbooks/Spreadsheets working on macros. These spreadsheets are heavily equipped with macros having complex formulas/logics. I know how to import excel sheet into sharepoint as a custom list but what to do about the macros and functionalities to carry on. Do I need to import excel spreadsheets as a custom lists into sharepoint and then have to re-write macro functionalities as custom rules and workflows attached to these lists? I want to know what are various ways to accomplish this task and their advantages and disadvantages. Also, What would you recommend is the best approach to do this.

I would be very grateful, if you can forward me any resource that can help me to dig out more about this topic to explore.

Thanks & Regards,
