Unique ID in SharePoint list
This seams to be a common problem, and one that I get many calls from users about: I have a query with our Sharepoint site and was advised that you were probably the best person to ask. I have created a list under: http://sharepoint/sites/department/Lists/ListName/AllItems.aspx I need the first column (Issue ID) to be an automatically […]
SharePoint 3.0 and MOSS 2007 Service Pack 1 Update
I had a number of problems installing SharePoint 3.0 Service Pack 1 and then Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 Service Pack 1. In fact, I managed to put my server completely out of action and I have been trying to fix it off and on for a couple of weeks (I have been on holiday). […]
Festive holiday studying
I am sorry to tell you all that I am now (as of Friday past) off for the holiday period. With a little luck and some saved holidays I will not be back in the office until the 3rd January 2008 🙂 I will be in the office for damage control on the 31st, but […]

Installing The 2007 Microsoft Office Servers Service Pack 1 (SP1) …Again…
So far it is exactly the same show as with the WSS update. Installing updates before moving onto the main feature… And it did not ask me to install WSS SP1 this time.. That is another one of those mixed signs… The installation for MOSS SP1 is identical to that of WSS SP1 so I […]
MOSS SP1 Install Notes
I thought I should create this blog as I am going along because I usually forget some critical item that gubs my server if I try it again Jeff Holliday has posted on what has changes with a plethora of links to relevant content. make sure you read the pre-requisites for the SharePoint updates from […]
Silverlight cream, kinda, but it is interesting!
Well, I was browsing the Microsoft downloads site looking for SP1 for SharePoint and a wee popup asked if I would like to see the http://download.microsoft.com beta… You can view it at http://preview.microsoft.com/downloads/HomePage.aspx and see what you think. My Silverlight guru collogue Charlie Holland is currently pulling the site apart to see how it ticks… […]
Event: MSDN: SharePoint for Developers (Edinburgh)
Better late than never, but I attended a MSDN event on Tuesday night in Edinburgh. Although I eagerly signed up for it, I did not expect to learn a lot: Windows SharePoint 3.0 – Martin Parry I am not usually a fan of Martin’s speaking, but it seems that it might have been due to […]
VS2008 Update
Well it seems that Microsoft took the generally felt community suggestion and bundles Team Explorer with Visual Studio 2008 team Suit. I don’t know if they did the same with VS2008 Pro or the other version, but it would seem a good idea. I had a few problems uninstalling Beta 2, but I got there […]
