Duplicate List records - sharepoint-2007

How do I avoid entering the same kind of data from the same users in sharepoint list?
Any directions please

No luck going the easy way with Sharepoint 2007. With Sharepoint 2010 you have the choice to make values unique (see SharePoint 2010 – Enforce Unique Values).
With Sharepoint 2007 you have to do that programmatically using an EventReceiver. See following post for lot's of information: How to avoid duplicate record depending on the field in customlist

Is it possible to get the localized display name of a SharePoint column via MS Graph?

I have a SharePoint Online Modern Team site of which the default language is set to Dutch. When I use the Microsoft Graph Explorer to retrieve a document library and related columns all display values are in the English language. Is it possible to get the localized values via MS Graph?
Thanks in advance.

Header option does not work
Sadly it's not possible to get the localized column names using the new HeaderOption("Accept-Language", "nl-NL")
code as described here.
Not yet implemented...
According to this question and answer this feature is not yet (2021 March) implemented.
So the only option for now is to use CSOM to get this information.

How do I allow an external user to add bug/work items

We are using TFS 2010 in my company but are only using its VSS feature.
For adding/updating any bug/feature request, we are using Assembla... mainly because of the reason that we also want to allow external users to add/update a work item.
I Googled and found that TFS supports a feature called 'Work Item Only View(WIOV)'.
Can you please guide me what OTHER options are available so that all internal/expernal bug/work item save only in TFS database.
Also, anyone using WIOV can please suggest how well it can help me in above scenerio.
Thank you!

Sharepoint Tasks List "Assigned To"

Is there any way i can convert Assigned To field in sharepoint Tasks list to Dropdown, by default it will be from peoples and group search box.
Using designer converting that field to drop down gives nothing for me
Please help me on this.
Thanks in advance
It is possible, but it's not trivial - you need to develop a custom field type similar to the built-in Person or Group type but using a drop-down list instead of PeopleEditor (commonly known as a "people picker").
If you want to go this way, read the Custom Field Types for SharePoint 2007 article and check one of many projects available at CodePlex (e.g. Sharepoint Skype status field) to learn more.

Migrating Exchange public folder to SharePoint

I have been reading a number of articles online suggesting different approaches to migrate data in an Exchange public folder to a SharePoint Library.
Our company has a list of items tracked inside an Exchange public folder. It is just a bunch of data columns and we have to move that data to SharePoint and start using SharePoint instead.
Does anyone know how to handle this programatically? Or if it is too much work, a tool that is known to handle this well.
I ended up writing code to handle this myself.

Lifetime management of lists and documents in Sharepoint

Can I do the following with SharePoint 2007:
1) Create lists (records) and document libraries with content that is in force for a certain amount of days and after that, they automatically expire? How?
2) When searching for words in a SharePoint site where there are lists and documents, SharePoint displays results similar to Google, would it be possible that Sharepoint tell me what documents are no longer current? How?
Thank you very much.
