Working in lists.
 
When Im working in a list, if I edit the item & then press save, it brings me back to the view of all the lists, meaning I then have to open the list I was in and scroll down to the point I was at. Is there a way of being able to edit & save an item & then be able to go right back to where you started at?

Restrict list from being opened with Windows Explorer
 
I have a list of Infopath forms, each creates an XML file when saved.  When you open the list, you can go to Action -> Open with Windows Explorer.  This allows someone to copy / modify / delete the raw XML files.  How can this be prevented?  In other words, how can I keep someone from looking at my list library using Windows Explorer and modifyin the contents from there?

Cant Use Windows Explorer to access my Shared Documents Folder
 
Now that you are using IE 7.0, which is tab-based, your SharePoint program is expecting to open a new Tab in IE.  I suspect you have turned off the Tab view option in IE.  Go to IE Properties and activate the Tabs again and it should work.  The other solution is to revert back to IE 6 (which is what I did).

Typically, MS discourages storing Access files in SharePoint, as SharePoint does not know what to do with the lock file. Only store the file as a ZIPd file intending for the user to deploy the file on a file share or their local drive.

on windows xp,You are prompted to enter your credentials when you access an sharepoint site
 
I have MOSS 2007. Frequently sharepoint will ask for login credentials when
going to the site, opening a document, etc even though it should be (and is)
getting the credentials from Windows. Usually I can just hit Cancel to the
login prompt and I can get in/open the document or do whatever I was doing.

Depends on if a given site is marked as being trusted. Check your IE security settings to find out what sites might be in a given zone.

Make sure the SPS site is part of the Intranet Zone and not Internet Zone. Also, make sure that the User Authentication in Security settings of IE is set to Automatic Logon using current username and password.

on windows xp,You are prompted to enter your credentials when you access an sharepoint site
 
This is a 2 part answer.
 
1) Make sure that the site is in their trusted list in their IE settings.
 
2) Make sure the following is checked:
 
Tools > Internet Options > Security > Trusted Sites > Custom Level > User Authentication > Logon > Automatic logon with current user name and password.
 
Hope this helps.

How do I attach a link to a image to launch a different Sharepoint page?
 
I'd like to attach a link to an image that I have placed on one of my pages.  I'm currently using the Image Web part to place the image, but am open to changing the type of web part if that is what it will take to solve the issue.  I'm strictly using Sharepoint, not Frontpage.
5/5/2008 5:04 PM
 
RE: How do I attach a link to a image to launch a different Sharepoint page?
 
You can do this virtually pages and Web part with a simple workaround.
  1. Use the Hyperlink button to create a hyperlink with text only. You can delete the text later.
  2. Place the cursor in the hyperlink and use the Insert Image button to insert the picture.
  3. Delete any or all of the hyperlink text.

The picture is now a hyperlink.

Web Part Header formatting
 
You could use PageLayouts for this. Override the css file for the webpart appearance. So if you create a page of one kind it gets different appearance than other pages depending on the different css file. Just use @import("<path to css>"); in the page layout and you will get a good result.

cannot save document from word 2003 in doc library in moss
 
When we open a word document that is stored in a document library in moss 2007, we can edit the document but we can only 'save as'; we cannot save the document right into the document library. We can save the document on the local computer and upload it into the document library.
 
When we were using wss 2.0, this problem did not arise.
 
Any hints?

By selecting Site Settings, Go to Site Administration, view site usage data. This will give you a very broad view of the statistics.

I have an interesting problem where from my office I can access sharepoint.  when I travel, I use the hotels broadband to access sharepoint, but it does not work.
 
The change would appear to be with the hotels services.  Are you aware of what may cause this and what could be changed to fix it.

Access to Sharepoint problems
 
If your company uses HTTPS for Web security. The Hotels router may not be configured to allow  port 443 or 987 to be used. This would make your website unuseable.

List and Document Library Permissions?
 
Hello, I have certain permissions set for a sub-site and have created a list and a document library within that sub-site.  I want to give extra people permissions to view this list and document library - people who do not have read access to the sub-site itself.  When I modify the settings for the list or document library itself and add this person, he/she is still unable to access the site. ...

List and Document Library Permissions?
 
Wanted to clarify.  Using WSS 2003.  User does not have permissions to view sub-site, but does have permissions to view specific document library within sub-site.  When they try to access the document library directly by typing in the specific URL, SharePoint requests their login credentials.  They enter, and SharePoint requests login credentials two more times, then denies access. ...

Adding a custom "Content Type" to "New" Menu
 
When you create a library, you can select a single document type to be displayed in the NEW drop down menu.  You also get by default the new Folder choice.  I created a new Content Type called MyFolder which is a child of Folder and adds a couple of columns.  How do I get MyFolder to show up as a choice (or only choice) in the NEW menu??

Excel spreadsheets can be deleted by anyone in sharepoint
 
I've added some new excel spreadsheets within Sharepoint. I note that these can be deleted by any user that has access to these sheets. Can I remove this option to stop them from being deleted. Also I've added some links to sharepoint, these can also be deleted by anyone who has access to the site. How do I protect these links? Note, the users that I have added have contributor access only.

Excel spreadsheets can be deleted by anyone in sharepoint
 
There are permissions that you set different users with.  this includes whether they can add/edit/remove or just view the item.
 
The list may still show the "Delete" option, but inactual fact the record cannot be deleted.

If you want it at the bottom of the page, click on Modify Shared Page on the site, click on Web Parts/Browse, and then you'll be able to click on web parts/lists and drag them around to where you want them.  Is that what you were asking?

Username/Password Confirmation Difficulties
 
I am an administrator of a SharePoint site for a client.
 
One of the users cannot receive one of the two e-mails that one typically receives which should display the username and password of the user.
 
I am assuming that the e-mail of the user is treating the confirmation e-mail as spam or whatever else.
 
Is there any way around this?  Could a representative from the...

User Cannot Delete Files
 
I have users who are unable to delete files from the Shared Documents document library of the site where they have Contributor rights.  Any clues?  I recently installed Dark Blue Duck's Recycle Bin Enabler and am not sure if maybe that has something to do with it.  New to SharePoint so any help is greatly appreciated.  Thanks!

Because I couldn't find an answer to this anywhere....I am an owner and couldn't figure out how to delete. I'm new to Sharepoint so I don't know if this will work for Contributors.
 
From the Shared Documents toolbar...
Actions / Edit in DataSheet / highlight files and press 'Delete' button on your keyboard.

How can Administrator edit users' email address?
 
I manage a Sharepoint site and when setting up a new account, our system will pull the user's name from our directory.  Some newer users do not have email info in the Dir yet though, so I had to type his in by hand.  I mis-typed, and his notification email bounced.  When I tried to correct it, I cannot find a way to change it. 
 
Then I deleted his account and tried to recreate...

How can Administrator edit users' email address?
 
In our environment, the SharePoint server and the Active Directory server are run by different folks.  Do you know who runs your Directory?  Sounds like you would need to contact them to make changes to the directory - that's what I have to do anyway.

I'm a noob to SharePoint, so I may have this totally wrong.  So far, I have only created templates and haven't imported them, but in FrontPage, they appear under the site within the _catalogs folder within the wt (Site Template Gallery).  This places them in the Site Template Gallery area.  I'm not sure where this is located on the server side files/folders, however.

.stp templates
 
Think about when it is in the site creation process that you select the template... it is AFTER you name the site and determine its permissions inheritance after you click the "Sites and Workspaces" link on the Create menu. Since the selection fo the template occurs not on the Create page itself, you can't expect the templates to be listed on the Create page.
