We have a custom list within MOSS 2007 which sporadically closes the edit forms web part, despite the fact that the web parts property 'allow close' is unticked. The only way to make the form work again is to edit the page in SharePoint Designer and untick the option of 'web part closed', this then allows the form to function but at a seemingly random interval it will close itself again.
There is quite a large user base accessing the site/list at anyone time, also note this has happened once on another list on another site collection.
Has anyone else experienced this issue before or can offer any advice?

Goodevening everyone,
I've a question about a functionality i want to add on my Delphi MDI Application.
Often my users keep more than one forms open at the same time and these forms are almost always maximized. I need something like a the Alt+Tab that with a keyboard shortcut let the user scroll the already-open forms with a simple preview that helps to choose the right form.
The best option that i can imagine, is something that let me include every open forms into the "windows alt+tab" user interface and manage all the necessary windows messages on the main form of my MDI Application to bring to front the right forms.
Recently Firefox add something like that and i need to include the same thing my Application.
I've searched this thing on the web but i haven't found anything.
Any idea of how to do it?
Thanks,
Attilio
I am trying to make my job easier by creating simple AHK scrips to auto-fill certain forms online.
Im not really good at explaining, but hopefully someone will understand what Im saying. The problem is that this website has certain textboxes with dropdown auto-suggestions turned on, and it has a delay when selecting those textboxes. I assume when selecting textbox it is pulling data from some database which is causing delay. Now my question is. Is it possible to turn off dropdown menu on websites or even in entire browser if necessary? I really want to my script to tab-in, wright down whats needed, tab-out without delay.
Autocomplete dropdown lists are just JS scripts. So there is no way, I think, to disable them by clicking checkbox in browser settings.
First, try to disable JS completely.
Also, if only few sites are involved, you could try to find out what JS libraries are used and disable them in browser JS console.
Are you planning to do this via keypresses or via COM?
I imagine that via keypresses you could not avoid focusing the elements and triggering the information lookup.
AutoHotkey can interact with webpages on Internet Explorer using COM (Component Object Model).
COM can launch/latch onto an IE instance, detect if the page is loading/has loaded, navigate to a particular url, and set the text of web elements,
quite possibly without triggering the drop-down lists. I haven't tested if COM can disable elements, it's possible.
Also, Acc.ahk may be able to set the text of elements.
I built a basic schedule for my team on our team site SharePoint 2007 and I am noticing a formatting issue. When we scroll the schedule to the right, you can no longer see the time column to the left. I was hoping there might be a simple way to resolve this issue and "freeze pane" the time column. I do not have access to add a content editor web part, but I do have access to SharePoint designer. So please keep that restriction in mind.
I'm working on a desktop application in Delphi 2007 and on a website where content data for this application is maintained. To view this website, the user is basically restricted to Internet Explorer 7 or higher. (Not going to support the rest.)
What I am looking for is a way to add a link to the website which would tell my already-running application to select a certain record by an ID that's passed to it from the website.
That sounds easy but it's a bit more complex than this. In the application, the user selects a dossier for a customer of the user. In this list he can find a list of products. His customer -who sits next to the user- just searches on the website and selects a product to be added. (Or the user selects one for him.)
Second Life seems to be able to do this by supporting a new protocol for the web browser. Thus, the link secondlife://gingivere/240/72/ would kick you to some place in Second Life. (Unless you haven't installed Second Life, in which case it doesn't do much.) Basically, I want to implement something similar in my application!
(Must support Windows 2000, 2003, XP, Vista and newer versions of Windows.)
Oh, I'm using Borland/Codegear/Embarcadero Delphi 2007 and the application is a simple WIN32 application. (I also have Visual Studio 2008 available but would prefer to not use this.)
See Registering an Application to a URL Protocol.
I would poll a webservice from the client application rather that try to make a connection from the server to the browser.
RTC Real Thin Client and remote functions are perfect for this.
Me, I'd forget the browser compatibility issues (how do you think you will stop IE8 being used?) and use the PBear browser component direct. Using this you can intercept your links easily, and thus spot whatever reference you wish. In my app, I have things like "act://actHelp" and I spot the link type as 'act' and then search for an action with the name "actHelp". If available, I execute it. You can also pre-parse the HTML code to look for these links, and insert an image of the icon that the action uses, thus matching your UI and ensuring it is kept up to date.
Go integrated, and forget external browser issues.
Greetings all,
I have a question.
On my MOSS 2007 dev box, I created a new sharepoint site using the Publishing -> Publishing Site template.
Now, On this site, I can create pages, check them in, publish them, etc.
What I want to do is create a scope that I can do searches on. However, one of the filters I want to apply to the scope is to ignore everything which is not published.
Does anyone out there know of a property (which I can use in a metadata property in my shared service which is in turn used in my scope) to determine if a page is in a published status, draft status, any other sort of status?
Does such a property exist?
Thanks in advance for your help.

By default, when you view pages in a SharePoint site, and you're not signed in (eg your a anon user) then you will only see the last published version of that page. You won't see the version currently being edited (if it is checked out).
Now, if you want to stop users who are signed in from searching any pages which are not checked in, then have a look at filtering using the 'Approved Status' field. I'm not sure how to do this myself, but that's usually the field you filter on for stuff like views.
Yes, the "Approval Status" field is what you're looking for.
The property you need to map to is "_ModerationStatus" within your SSP search configuration.
