SharePoint Designer 2010 errors out when trying to connect to SharePoint 2010

I was able to install and configure SP 2010 Foundation on a Windows 7 Home Premium Edition as a Development Environment.  But I am facing  following issues:

a)cannot export lists from Access DB (Reason not able to connect to the local site on my machine) 

b) for a list on SP site can't "Open with Access" - Access application is triggered, but the list doesn't show-up.

c) open a Page or List for edit with Sharepoint Designer ( SharePoint Designer application gets triggered  but it get message "Unable to open Web site, Possible Causes: ..."

d) Also "Open Site" for local site on my machine gives the same error as in point c) above. 

These 4  unsuccessful operations happen only for the local development site (created on my laptop), all the above operations are successful though when I do them on a web hosted SP 2010 site. I have given "Full Control" permission for my login on the Central Administration. So what is wrong with the local site which prevents SharePoint Designer and Access DB connectivity? 

 

I'm creating a number of edit forms for external lists in Sharepoint Designer.  We're using Foundation so these are just the standard forms, not Infopath forms.

Basically I've cretaed the external lists and forms and have been deploying these using a Visual Studio solution.  In the forms I have replaced all the generated sharepoint form controls with asp text boxes or Drop Down Lists and have given these meaningful IDs so it's easier when hooking them up to asp validators.  This worked for the first deploy but now when i edit the form (for example to change a text box to a Drop Down List) I get errors which seem to relate to the field names generated by Sharepoint Designer.  It has generated databind statements which try to bind fields ids already in use elsewhere on the form.

The error message is

Error while executing web part: System.Xml.Xsl.XslTransformException: An error occurred during a call to extension function 'DataBind'. See InnerException for a complete description of the error. ---> System.ArgumentException: Item has already been added. Key in dictionary: 'ff15_1' Key being added: 'ff15_1'

Can anyone explain why it's generating these duplicate references?

You have installed Office 2010 beta and you are trying to connect to SharePoint 2010 from InfoPath but you get an error

In SharePoint 2007 Designer, I have used the Hyperlink column to store the link "http://www.sharepoint.com/Default.aspx, Details". The details text will be shown in the Hyperlink column. Everything works fine in sharepoint 2007 Designer workflow.

In SharePoint Designer 2010 Workflow, I used the same method but the hyperlink column is displaying the full text "http://www.sharepoint.com/Default.aspx, Details" instead of only Details

I have created a Search Service Application on a SharePoint Server 2010 (RTM) Farm and used the default Content Source. I started a Full Crawl and it suceeded with no errors etc. I ran it a few times and no issues. But if I go to the Intranet Portal Web Appliaction and do a search for a document that would have been crawled it does not show up in search results...nothing does. I am not getting any errors in Event Log or ULS Logs relevant to Search. How can I troubleshoot this problem further?SharePoint Solution Architect, Perth Australia - Microsoft Virtual Technology Specialist - MCTS WSS Dev, WSS Adm, MOSS Dev, MOSS Adm - http://wss.made4the.net/ - Founder of http://www.sharepointdevwiki.com/

I installed SharePoint Designer 2010, no problem.  I started it up and I was unsuccessful in attempting to create a blank site.  I received the message "The web site must be created on a server that is running Microsoft SharePoint foundation".  I would have thought that if it gave you the option to create the SharePoint site that it would generate it.  Do I need to install Microsoft Server on my PC?  I would prefer not to do that....

In terms of high-level requirements, I need to pull in lists from a couple of different web apps.  To do this, I’m using SPD 2010 to create an External Content Type for the list of interest.  I’m able to create a SOAP Service or WCF Service connection just fine.  However, when I try to create the external content type and create a Read Item Operation on one of the GetList or any other Get* (or other Update methods for that matter) methods, I get the following error:"The method that your operation is based on has parameters with complex types that do not have default parameterless constructor.  This kind of data source methods cannot be used in Business Data Catalog."I tried defining an operation on the “AddAttachment” method, and that worked just fine.  I also tried providing default values to the listName and viewName parameters when creating the SOAP Service connection, but still get the error.  Same issue with a WCF Service connection as well. Does anyone know if this is a 2010 issue, or am I approaching this requirement incorrectly?  What are other approaches for connecting to lists that reside in a different web app than yours? 

I've created a web service datasource on a 2010 site using SharePoint Designer. When I try to make use of the datasource on a page I get the "The server returned a non-specific error when trying to get data from the data source..." message. The datasource connects to _vti_bin/search.asmx. I am using the QueryServiceSoap port and operation QueryX. I've tried various queryXml strings, including site & people searches using both SQL and keyword syntax. eg <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?><QueryPacket xmlns="urn:Microsoft.Search.Query" Revision="1000"><Query domain="QDomain"> <SupportedFormats><Format>urn:Microsoft.Search.Response.Document.Document</Format></SupportedFormats> <Context>   <QueryText language="en-US" type="MSSQLFT"><![CDATA[ SELECT Size, Rank, Path, Title, Description, Write, Filename, Description, Author FROM scope() WHERE CONTAINS ('"Lorum"') AND  ( ("SCOPE" = 'All Sites') )   ORDER BY "Rank" DESC ]]></QueryText> </Context> <Range><StartAt>1</StartAt><Count>20</Count></Range> <EnableStemming>false</EnableStemming> <TrimDuplicates>true</TrimDuplicates> <IgnoreAllNoiseQuery>true&l
