Nice way to ask user to choose a document and then list of recipients for a mail merge?

Usually we do this by performing the action under RunWithElevatedPrivileges method and updating the listitem using SPListItem.SystemUpdate() method (see here). but this approach has its own flaws like (RunWithElevatedPrivileges will run under system account, we cannot use SystemUpdate for SPSite,SPWeb,SPList, since it runs under system we will "CreatedBy" by as SystemAccount).

Hi,

Thanks in advance.

We recently migrated our document management system to SharePoint (WSS 3.0) and I adapted my VB6 client application to search for and retrieve a list of documents from this new SharePoint library using the Lists web service. Although the total number of documents in this library is 90,000 at one site and over 145,000 at another, my VB6 application never retrieves more than 600-700 documents at a time. From reading white papers such as "Working with Large Lists in Office SharePoint Server 2007" (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=95450&clcid=0x409), it appears that if my custom user interface limits the number of items returned in a search of these large lists, that it may not be necessary to put these documents into folders. However, our current scanning software, KnowledgeLake Capture, by default places newly scanned documents into folders based on the year, month, day and hour, which means that these documents are placed in nested folders 4 levels deep.

There are also some 20 metadata fields on these document libraries that allow us to filter these document libraries so that search results will in most cases be limited to a few hundred items.

We acquired new servers (Windows Server 2008 with SQL Server 2008) to host our SharePoint libraries and we are running WSS 3.0 S

Hi,

Defined a user group and a site column of type people/group directing to this group.

Also defined a content type and added the site column to this content type.

When I create a new word document of this content type, word opens displaying my site column ok. But when I enter it, I see that all active directory (AD) entries are displayed. I want it to display only those users I added to the user group I created. Moreover, users can select any user from AD, which makes defining a user group and a site column meaningless.

This problem is only in creating new documents with Word. If I edit properties of an already existing document in my site, everything is ok: I can select only the users in the group.

Regards.

Hi,

I have to migrate data from SQL DB to SP list. But its old data and some users who created/modified the record has been deleted from the AD. Now I need to set the CreatedBy / ModifiedBy Field of the item accordingly. How to achieve this?

And when I tried to modify the "Editor" and "Author" field through Object Model, it works. But its not working through Webservice. What is the reason behind this?

Please help me find an optimal solution for this...

Hi , Can anyone provide link to configure Merge Replication in 2005 with print screen.Also let me know the difference between Transcation level and Merge Replication. regards Vijay  

It seems that to be able to manage User Alerts, one must have Full Access to the entire SharePoint site - and then use => Site Settings > User Alerts. Ideally, I would like to be able to grant access to users to only be able to manage alerts for a specific list. Is this possible (without having to do any programming) and, if so, how? If such access is only available at the site level, I will simply create a Permission Level that allows one to only "Manage Alerts" Thanks in advance for any assistance. Dave

for example, if we send a mail with the title of "%hostname% %ipaddress%" to a list. can SPD WF filter the title and get %hostname% to a new variable? the reason to ask this is i want to send a well-formated mail to sharepoint and the automatical WF can recognize the change of the list items and update the relevant columns by the filtered content from mail title or body. thanks!

Hi All,I'm experiencing problem in removing user from SharePoint's UserInformation. The scenario is, we found some depreciated usersinformation from /sites/SITE_NAME/_layouts/1033/userinfo.aspx. When wetry to remove these users, we cannot found them in the manage userpage /sites/SITE_NAME/_layouts/1033/user.aspx. Since we need to lookupthe user information in many pages of our portal site. Do you have anyidea on how we can remove it? What is the behaviour of the userinformation list? Thanks.NarayanaThanks & Regards NART

My current project requires me to parse through a Word document with tables that simulate a form. However Infopath isn't an available rescource for me. For example I'm to bring all information in the notes cell onto a list in sharepoint. Ultimately i'll be using a view to display that list through a webpart on a dashboard like interface on a sharepoint page. Is this possible? or is Info Path really the only way to go about this?
