Hello,

We have a document library on a site created off of the Report Center site template. We uploaded a Word 2007 document with the word zebra in the text. Using the search bar at the top of the page we selected This list: Our document library and searched for zebra. We received no results.

We tested the same thing on another site (site template Team site) within the same site collection and search worked fine.

Does the Report Center search function differently then the search functionality on the Team site?

Hi,

I am receiving the error "Cannot complete this action.  Please try again"  when trying to add a document library to one of the sites.  This is Sharepoint 2007 SP1.  I seem to be able to do it thru designer but not the web interface.

Does anyone know how to fix this?

Hi, I have applied a custom master page to a site.There is a document library in it. I am unable to add columns in it or change the default view.Nothing happens when I click on OK butoon after making my changes. However the columns are created/default view is changed when I apply the default master page. Guess I am missing some TagPrefix or sharepoint control on master page.I had solved this problem earlier in this way but don't remeber it now. Can anyone help?

I have a site collection (using the out-of-the-box Business Intelligence site template) called "BI Home". A couple weeks ago I created a bunch of subsites (Finance, Regulatory, Marketing, etc.) all using the BI site template, and then created a Document Library called "Reports" in each one of those subsites. Those are all working as expected. Yesterday I needed to create a new subsite (again, a BI site just off the root site collection) called "Operations". I created the subsite, and then created the "Reports" document library underneath it.  When I went to modify the permissions of the new document library (located here: /Operations/Reports), it said it was inheriting permissions from it's parent: "BI Home".  Why would this be?  Shouldn't the parent be "Operations" ?? All my other sites' "Reports" folders are inheriting permission from their respective parent, but any new sites I create seem to have this issue.

Hi, I have a customer that is setting up a new SPS 2010 environment. They have a Sharepint 2007 environment with one document library containing only PDF files. They will not need any metadata on these documents, but would like it to be moved to the new SPS 2010 environment only to be used for history and free text search. Is there an easy way to accomplish this?   Regards Christian GrannesChristianLLoyd

In Sharepoint 2007, I created multiple site content types.  From these I created other content types based on the original site content types.  To these second group of content types I added a site column which is hidden.  I craeted a document library and saved it as a template.  I then created a new document library using teh document library template.  When I then look at the hidden column for the content types in the document library, the previously hidden column in the default content type is now 'optional'.  The hidden column in the other content types is still showing as hidden.  Any clues as to why?  Thanks in advance.

I have document libraries with the following settings: major & minor versioning enabled, checkout required & 'only users who can edit items' can see draft (minor) items. The problem is when a user uploads a document (the first document), the library appears empty. However, looking at the summary in 'view all site content' we see that the number of items in the list has incremented by 1. Typically, if the user selects explorer view they can also see the document they just uploaded.

Similar behaviour occurs using the 'New document' option. Before checking in the document for this first time it is visible in the library. If it is checked in as v 0.1 it 'disappears' if it is checked in as v 1.0 it is visible.

I have noticed that if I toggle the Draft Item Security setting by setting it to 'any user who can read items' then set it back immediately to 'only users who can edit items' that the previously hidden items become visible. And any new minor versions created subsequently are also displayed correctly. I can of course do this for existing libraries, but if new libraries are created based on my template this behaviour reoccurs.

Has anyone seen this before?

Hi,

I'm trying to create a site page containing a part of a document library. I've added a data view web part to my page and then I can see all documents and folders of the library on the site page.

Problem is that I only want to see documents and subfolders that are in a specific folder of the library. I've tried to set the folder scope in designer to "Show only files of a specific folder", but I don't know where to specify the folder. Then I tried to do the same using a filter on the path, but this doesn't work with a "greather then" filter.

Has anyone tried to do the same and how?

Thanks  a lot!

How do I move a document library, with it's versioning, from one web site to another in MOSS 2007?

I need upload only MS Documents like extension with .doc,.docx,.txt and prevent from extension with .img,.gif...I mean to say dont upload  image files into the document library in sharepoint site..

I have a situation that has foxed me!! I have a site level content type that has 8 fields... I use this to create more content types at the site level and use these in multiple Document Libraries (I have 40 doc libs).  This works fine for 38 of the libraries.  But for 2 of them... 2 of the columns are not showing up on the document libraries.  These are user lookups fields.  I am not sure why it's not working in these libraries only!  When I use the same content type in another library... the inheritance does not break for these fields!

Anyone please provide some guidance on this?  I am using WSS 3.0 and SPD to do workflows.

On another note... the content type has a template (in excel) attached to it.  When I create the content manually using the content type from the New menu option, the template is used... however, when I try to add it using an SPD workflow, it creates a blank template... the content type template is not being used.

Please help... I am in a fix and need to release this application today!!!

Hi,

We have created one document library in a web application and also added some documents in it.

Now we want to copy same document library to another web application with all content.

We have tried list template option but it is not working as document library is exceeding size quota(greater than 50 MB)

Please help.

Thanks in advance.

I have an excel file I need to move daily from it's location in a MOSS enterprise edition Farm, to a location on a SQL server not in the farm but in the same domain. Is there some method I can use using OOB SharePoint or OOB SharePoint w/SPD?

Autonomy WorkSite has a capability called iManage that allows a user to select two documents and view the blackline / redline version of the document hightlighting the differences between the two documents.  Does anyone know if this capability has been extended into SharePoint? 

I know I can perform this function from the Compare button on the Review tab of Microsoft Word 2010, but I am interested in performing this capability right from SharePoint.

Thanks in advance!

Hi all,

found a strange bug ...

Created a site in SharePoint 2010, added the document set content type to a document library.  I then created some standard document sets within the document library to use in a site template.

However, when I created a new site from the site template the document sets appear as folders, with no document set info section when you go into them.  However when you do the drop down on the name in the library it shows "Document Set Version History".

It is as though the document sets were only half recreated.  I can create a new document set in the same library and that shows as it should.

Anyone else come across this?  Anyone have any tips or solutions? Incidentally the document sets are also not working when a new library is created from a library template.  They have the correct icon, but the link that has been automatically created does not work.

Oh, you can create new document sets within the newly created library (within site template or from a library template) and they work fine.  It is only document sets that are saved within the templates.

When looking at a document library from a template that included a document set the link to the document set itself has been recreated completely wrong.

This is the link on the original document set
