Deleting Survey Responses All at once in SharePoint 2007 - sharepoint-2007

How do I delete all the survey responses in SharePoint 2007 all at once without having to go through the hassle of deleting one at a time?

If you have MOSS you can use the 'Manage Content and Structure' option in 'Site Actions'.
Open the 'Site Content and Structure Manager', browse to the survey list. Use the select all checkbox on just below the menubar on top of the list to select all the answers. Select in the 'Actions' menu the delete option. Done.

Can't delete list attachment someone has open

In SharePoint Online, if someone opens a list item attachment even a Site Owner can't remove the attachment. Is there a way to unlock or take control of the document in SharePoint? (I'm not a system admin so I don't think I can run PowerShell commands)
I could reproduce this issue. When I view list attachments in SharePoint Designer, it shows the file is locked. If I delete it, an error message will show, like the below.
You can click "Undo Check Out" for the file then delete it again.

find where file is in umbraco media section using id

I have a file being picked up externally which I've been told has been deleted by the author.
If I go into the Media section on the server I can find the folder with the id 343565 which has the "deleted" file in it.
There is a deep folder tree in our Media section when using the Umbraco backend, is there an easy way to search in the back end using the 343565 id to find it so I can check whether it has been deleted?
It would be useful to know how to do this in v7 too (if it is different) as I will be upgrading to v7 soon
Unfortunately, that id doesn't relate to the media id.
If you are using v6 or v7, you can use Examine to search the for folder id in the umbracoFile field.
Go to the Developer section
Select the Examine Management tab
Open the Internal Search under the Searchers section
Paste this into the search box: umbracoFile:/media*343565*
Select the Lucene Search radio button
Search
That should bring up the media node and from there you can get the id, path, etc

"Running" an Excel sheet?

I was sent an Excel workbook. When I open the book, there is a sheet with some dropdown boxes on it. Not a "form" per se, but just a regular sheet. When I click on one of the dropdowns, it gets highlighted like it's ready to be edited, and a new option pops up in my ribbon for "Drawing Tools". I want to be able to "run" the sheet, so when I click on the dropdown I actually get a dropdown! I'm somewhat new to Excel 2010.
Here is Microsoft's document on how to do this. It is pretty straight forward. Also, when looking for these issues on the internet it helps to include combobox and make sure to specify the program and version in the search.

How to hide 'Attach Files' option in Sharepoint 2007

I am creating lists in WSS 3.0 and I can hide most of the columns by default, like "Title" e.t.c, but I need to hide the 'Attach File' option, and I cannot find the way to do this.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks!!
Go to the list settings page and choose advanced settings. You can disable attachments there.
You're going to need to create a custom Edit Form for your list(s) that doesn't contain the file attachment option. It will replace the metadata edit form that users see when they upload or edit metadata properties for list items in the given list(s).
Here is a nice tutorial on how to create and deploy a basic edit form replacement.

Edit .doc in Word via custom Document Library DispForm.aspx

I have a document library with a workflow that dynamicly sets user permissions to edit these documents when certain criteria is met.
The users who need to edit these items are not the brightest users, so to make it failsafe and simple for them I am customizing the DispForm.aspx to only show 2 fields in the Document Library.
"Document" - Name of the document which is a link that opens the document in MS Word.
"Done?" - Yes/No tickbox.
The user gets an e-mail when they have a task assigned; the e-mail contains an URL to the custom DispForm.aspx, the user clicks the link and voila, they see the customized DispForm.aspx with only 2 fields, they know exactly what to do because they won't get distracted by an information-overdose and the only thing the user has to do is click on the document so it would open in Word, user makes changes to document, saves, ticks "yes" in the "Done?" tickbox and the next workflow starts.
Now I'm having this particular problem, when I customize the document library's DispForm.aspx in Sharepoint Designer and add a custom Sharepoint control (Custom Document Library listform) it does not contain the Name field (which contains the URL). I can manually add that link in Sharepoint Designer but then the document gets opened in the web version of Word and if the user wants to save it, it saves to the local harddrive, instead of the Document Library.
What am I doing wrong? How can I include the right URL to a document in a customized DispForm of a document library which opens the document in Word and saves to the Document library and creates a draft version?
Suggestions, tips or other solutions VERY welcome!

I wrote a blog on how to get an External Link for Editing a SharePoint Document. Maybe that can help.
