This article describes the default sequences and actions that occur when you upgrade Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services 2.0, Windows SharePoint Services 3.0, Microsoft Office SharePoint Portal Server 2003, or Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007. | Upgrade |
| 948729 | | Consider the following scenario. You try to access a Web Part or Data View in Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007. You use anonymous access. The Web Part or Data View is set up to display Business Data Catalog (BDC) content. In this scenario, you receive an error message that resembles the following:
You do not have permission to access <Table> in <Database>
This behavior occurs because anonymous access cannot be used to access BDC data in SharePoint Server 2007 Web parts or data views. | Business Data Catalogue |
| 948728 | | This problem occurs when you are redirected to the /Forms/EditForm.aspx metadata page while you are uploading to a picture library.
Note This metadata page problem is not exclusive to a picture library. This problem may also occur if you allow for management of content types on any other library, regardless of what content types are enabled. Additionally, adding certain columns to other library types, such as a document library, can cause this problem to occur.
When you click OK on the metadata entry page, the workflow sees this action as a change to the item. This unintended change to the item causes the workflow rule to cancel the workflow when the "Cancel this workflow when the: Document is changed" rule is enabled. | Workflow |
| 948727 | | After you add a content database to a Microsoft Office SharePoint Server-based farm, the database name appears as a server object in the Farm Topology view under Servers. | |
| 948726 | | This problem can occur if one or more of the following conditions are true:
- The feature definition for an enabled feature does not exist on the server.
- One of the servers has a trial version of SharePoint Server 2007 installed
- The Enterprise version of SharePoint Server 2007 is installed on the source server. The Standard version of SharePoint Server 2007 is installed on the destination server.
- The source site collection contains sites that have custom Web parts that the Content Deployment feature cannot copy.
| Web Content Management |
| 948725 | | If you restore the configuration database, data in the configuration database will not be synchronized with data in other SharePoint Server 2007 or Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 databases. If this data is not synchronized, users may experience various random errors.
For example, a Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 content database may contain data about a newer site. If the configuration database does not contain information about this site, the site is orphaned. | Backup/Recovery |
| 948724 | | Consider the following scenario. You create two lists in Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 or in Microsoft Office SharePoint Portal Server 2003. You create and register a new feature. Additionally, you create a new list item and then trap the event. In the event handler, you perform a get on the target list property. Then, you call the following
method.property.ChoiceList.Add( source.ListItem.Name);
property.Commit();
In this scenario, if only the ChoiceList property is modified, the changes are not committed when the Commit() method is called. | |
| 948681 | | You add Active Directory user accounts and Active Directory group accounts to a group in Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007. When you designate the SharePoint group as the target audience for a specific Web Part, some user accounts in the SharePoint group cannot access the Web Part. | |
| 948614 | | You create a new site collection that is based on a publishing template in Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007. Then, you create a new subfolder in the Pages library. In this situation, when you try to create a new page in the subfolder, the page is created in the root of the Pages library instead of in the subfolder. | Web Content Management |
| 948325 | | In Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007, a link in the Quick Launch bar does not work as expected. For example, a link may incorrectly point to the Shared Documents document library instead of a folder in the Shared Documents document library. | |
| 948324 | | In Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 or in Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services 3.0, you cannot use the ItemUpdating event to retrieve an updated value. For example, you cannot use the properties.AfterProperties["vti_title"] property to retrieve the updated title of a page. | |
| 948323 | | When you publish a page in Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 or in Windows SharePoint Services 3.0, you receive an error message that resembles the following in the Application log in Event Viewer:

You may want to create custom e-mail alert handler in Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 in any of the following scenarios:
- Fields, such as the ItemName field, are truncated to 70 characters in the e-mail alert. To work around the 70-character limit, use the method that this article describes.
- You want to embed additional content in the e-mail alert.
- You want to change the layout or the appearance of the e-mail alert.

| 948320 | | Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 includes an advanced Rich Text Editor that supports predefined table formats. The Rich Text Editor in SharePoint Server 2007 reads the predefined table formats from cascading style sheets that are linked to the page. However, the Rich Text Editor in Windows SharePoint Services cannot read the predefined table formats from cascading style sheets. Therefore, the Rich Text Editor in Windows SharePoint Services does not support predefined table formats.
In SharePoint Server 2007, the Use Predefined Table Format setting may not be available when you use the Rich Text Editor feature to edit a Web Part. This behavior occurs when you use a Windows SharePoint Services template to create the site. This article describes how to enable the Use Predefined Table Format setting when you use a Windows SharePoint Services template to create a site in SharePoint Server 2007. | Templates |

| 948141 | | Issue tracking list data is not saved when you save a site as a template in Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 or in Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007. Therefore, the issue tracking list data does not appear when you use the template to create a new site.
This problem occurs even though you click to select the Include Content check box when you save the site as a template. | Templates |
| 947287 | | This problem occurs if Microsoft ASP.NET 2.0 is not enabled in the Internet Information Services (IIS) 6.0 Web service extensions. For example, if you install IIS 6.0 after you install ASP.NET 2.0, the ASP.NET 2.0 Web service extension may not be enabled. | |
