Reached the # of Users Limit
 
I signed up for the 5 Users with 10 MB storage free trial and added 5 users to my site.
 
I deleted a user and tried to invite another but was not allowed.
 
I now only have 4 user accounts and am not allowed to invite the 5th.
 
Can you help?

Reached the # of Users Limit
 
There is a Manage Site Collection Users page for the site collection as a whole for Site Owners to delete users from.  Deleting users from this page reduces the quota so that new users can be invited.  For the site owner, the way to delete accounts is to do the following:
 
Site Settings, Go to Site Administration, View Site Collection User Information.  On this page if you delete an account it deletes...

Second Login box to open documents (anonymous access - nothing)
 
I have my site set to allow anonymous users to access nothing on my site. When you go to the sites URL, you are prompted for a UID and PWD. Once in the site, if you select a document to open, you are prompted for credentials once again. Is this normal?

Second Login box to open documents (no anonymous access)
 
Yes, this is by design.
 
The first dialog prompt is to authenticate to the site.  The second dialog is a separate authentication request for the office application since it is in a different context.

The datasheet view requires that you have Office 2003 installed.  You can request a beta version of this software at http://www.microsoft.com/office/preview/orderbeta.asp.

File Size Limit On Upload?
 
One of our users said that he couldn't upload a file (~4MB) and said he got an error message that said something about "security settings?".   I asked him to try uploading a smallish file and he was able to do that (~50K Excel spreadsheet).  Is there an upload file size limit?  Dave.

Is there a known issue regarding per-list permissions?
 
 How do you forbid access to a list for a specific user (or even site-group) ? It seems that even a reader can Read/Edit/Modify/Save any item of a list.

I cannot use the datasheet view
 
An Active-X control is required to use the datasheet view.  This control is installed on your system when you install FrontPage 2003.  We are currently looking into ways to autoinstall it the first time you click on the DataSheet button.

Your security settings may be too strict. Try the following:
1) In Microsoft Internet Explorer, on the Tools menu, click Internet Options, and click the Security tab.

2) In the Select a Web content zone to specify its security settings box, click Trusted sites, and then click Sites.

3) In the Add this Web site to the zone box, type the URL of your team Web site, and then click Add.

Support for FTP and Secure file transfer

2. Does it support Secure FTP (sFTP)?

3. How much is the speed difference between normal and SSL version?

I have exactly the same problem!
 
I can give people read access but for lists and document libraries i dont seem to be able to change any permissions.
 
The help file says there is a 'change permissions' option under the general settings of each list.

Domain or Standalone
 
Hi, Can I install SPS 2003 in a stand-alone machine (for initial development) or is there any requirement that the server has to be a part of a domain ?

We have just went through the development phase doing exactly what you are asking. Make sure you read through the Admin.chm thoroughly before attempting to move it live onto your domain. My suggestion is this: Create the Sharepoint server on the single PC using S2k3, IIS6.0, and Sharepoint's latest version. Install Sharepoint via the Server Farm method connecting to your Sql Server.
