Changing datasheet view column width prompts for logon

Hello - I have a SharePoint 2010 farm at work that we are having undesirable logon prompts on at times. A reproducible example is the datasheet view of any library in our site. When a user switches from standard view to datasheet view & then resizes
a column, a logon dialogue box pops up. They can enter their username or cancel - either way they are allowed to continue. This occurs the first time the user tries to make a change to the column width, but not on subsequent attempts. If the view is reloaded
& they attempt to change the width again the logon box pops up again. Users only have read-only access to the view, so they cannot modify it. The 'Modify View' control in the ribbon bar is greyed out.
Background info: Clients are using Windows 7 SP1, Internet Explorer 10 (in compatibility view mode), and MS Office Pro Plus 2010 SP2. SharePoint is 2010 SP1 & June 2011 CU V1 (I know, we need to patch). The site is setup to use NTLM integrated authentication.
All PCs are configured via GPO to add the site to the local Intranet zone. The intranet zone is configured via GPO with medium-low settings & automatic logon in the intranet zone. I have verified the GPO propagation to client PCs and verified that
IE settings are correct for windows integrated authentication to take place.
Any help is appreciated

I am thinking this behavior is not by design. In my environment this is what happens:
A standard user (no modify view rights) changes a column width & gets prompted for credentials. It does not matter what they do - cancel, use own credentials, or use someone else's credentials (with modify rights) - the results are the same.
The view is not changed for everyone, just the local user. The change only applies to the current page load.
Users with modify view rights see no logon prompt.
I just installed Office 2013 with my test VM & the unwanted logon prompt is gone. My opinion is this is an unresolved issue with the Access Web Datasheet, 2010-version active-x plugin. It appears to have been fixed with Access 2013.
I'm going to do some more testing, but this is looking like another reason for an upgrade to Office 2013.
I tried changing the compatibility view settings, user agent string, Browser Mode, and Document Mode. None of the different combinations I tried had any effect on the logon prompt issue.
Any other ideas?
thanks

Edit Band.css file to change datasheet view background color causes adverse effects

Hi. I'm using SharePoint 2007 still and we are using the blueglassband.master theme. With this theme the background color of the site is a dark blue but this causes datasheet view grids to be extremely dark.
I have found fixes to edit the .body tag and set it to FFFFFF and then add a form#aspnetForm element and set the dark blue background there, and this has worked successfully...
Or so I thought. It turns out this has caused a weird issue in other pages in SharePoint where-by half the page is dark blue as expected, but then it changes to white.
Even more bizarre, it seems the "half way" mark where the color changes is dependent on the initial size of the IE window when the page gets first rendered. That is, the blue to white change occurs at the point in the page that touches the
bottom of the IE window. Bigger IE window = change happens later.
Any ideas on this one?

Hi,
For this issue, I'm trying to involve someone familiar with this topic to further look at it.
Thanks,
Qiao

Please help me with Sql Report.Either use the same CSS approach by adding a static region ID to the report region and adding the style sheet to the page HTML Header:
<style>
#static-region-id td[headers="COL_ALIAS"] {
width: 400px;
<style>OR
Use the Column Definition > Column Width column attribute to set the width in pixels (note that this value is just the number of pixels "400", no unit is specified as in CSS).
OR
Use the Column Formatting > CSS Class column attribute to set the width of the column contents:
display: block; width: 400px;

Crystal reports viewer will not prompt for parameters

Help,
I can not get crystal report viewer to prompt for parameters when called from IIS 8 on Server 2012 r2
I can get crystal report viewer to prompt for parameters when run from vs 2010 built in web service.

The solution for me was to uninstall the latest crystal reports runtime 13.10.x and install 13.6.x instead.
Thanks anyway.

Permanently Widen Finder View Column Width

I am familiar with the method to get a full/wider view of a Finder column when I'm there, but the column width goes back to its original width when the Finder is closed. Any way that anyone knows to set and maintain a wide column view after closing Finder?

It should remain at the size where you left it.
Maybe some fuzz in Finder prefs.
Go to your Finder "Go" menu hold the option key and choose Library. Then go to Preferences folder and trash com.apple.finder.plist
Then, restart, or log out and in again.
(You might have to reset a few finder prefs the way you like them.)

Change Default Finder Column Width

Is it possible to change the default widths of the columns in Finder windows? I know that I can temporarily change it, and as long as I don't restart, all subsequent windows will open at this width. But is there a way to make the change the new system default?

This may be it...
http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20030329162110811
I didn't have theNlisv, and can't reboot to test right now.
If you do not have a Nlsv item, quit Property List Editor, go to the Finder and open a directory window, change View to "as List," select "Select View Options," click on "All windows," change one of the items shown, and close the View Options window. This will write to the Finder's com.apple.finder.plist file within a few seconds.

Outlook prompting for password after password change

I have a client who has Exchange 2013 and the PCs run Windows 8.1 with Office 2013.
The users just started having the following problem. Their domain passwords are expiring and when they update them with a new one, Outlook starts prompting them for a password when they open it and periodically while Outlook is running. They keep entering
the new password and checking the box to remember it, but the password prompt keeps coming back.
I've checked and the account in Outlook does not have the box checked to always prompt for logon credentials. I did notice that the proxy authentication is set for NTLM so I changed it to Basic, restarted Outlook and there was no password prompt and the
user has not seen one since.
Any idea why having the proxy authentication set to NTLM would cause this after the domain password changed? It has been set to NTLM rather than Basic for years now. Exchange 2013 has been in use there for about 6 months and Office 2013 longer than
that. Windows 8.1 has been on the computers for 3-5 months so I don't think that's it either. I've tried with our domain account we have setup there and with a test user account by changing the password on them but with the proxy authentication set to NTLM
I haven't had the password prompt appear other than once the next time Outlook is opened after the password change, and that is to be expected.
So it's not every user account but a good number of them this is happening with.
Jonathan

I have an update.
There must be a GPO or setting in Outlook changing the proxy authentication to NTLM because this morning it was changed back to NTLM from Basic. They all either shut down or restarted their computers since I worked on them Friday.
One user got the password prompt one time when starting Outlook. She entered the password and that was it. But she was unable to connect to a shared calendar. She put her computer to sleep, woke it up, logged in, and then was able to connect to the shared
calendar. I don't understand that.
Another user could not get the password prompt to go away this morning no matter how often he input his password, and he also was unable to connect to the shared calendar. So I changed the proxy authentication back to Basic again, restarted Outlook (which
is required), got no password prompt, and he was able to connect to the calendar.
I realize the calendar issue is tied to the password issue. What I don't understand is why these people are getting the password prompt ever since they changed their domain password.
I have a test account and test PC set up in a VM and it does not have any of these problems. I've changed its password 3 times but I never get a prompt when opening Outlook and it is set to NTLM.
I hope someone out there has an idea why changing their password now is causing this authentication problem in Outlook.

Changing dataGrid column width with actionScript

Having a strange change when trying to change any dataGrid column width with this code:
dataGrid.columns[ 5 ].width = 200;
It do changes the width of column number 6 to 200, but strangely it's also changes the width of the preceding columns (0-4). Every preceding column automatically increases a little bit than its' existing width without having me any idea.
Any idea anyone have!

Prompting for Database logon

Hi all,
I hardcoded the database logon credentials for a report on CMC and selected " Use the same logon Details when you run". But when i am running the report on Infoview it is prompting for Database logon credentials. I dont want the user to be prompted for logon credentials when he runs the report from Infoview. Is there any other configuration do i need to do on CMC side. I have few other reports running on the same database, when we run those reports it is not asking for logon credentials. It is asking for only that specific report.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Environment: BOXI3.1, Crystal Reports 2008 and SQL server 2005.
Thanks and Regards

Why does Outlook keep prompting for password

We have seen our community members ask questions about Outlook keeps prompting for credentials many times. This issue could be caused by numerous reasons. Below is a list of the most common reasons for this problem:
Outlook is configured to prompt you for credentials
Incorrect password cached in credential storage
Required Authentication Settings for outgoing server and incoming server
Outlook Anywhere is not configured to use NTLM Authentication
Corrupt Outlook profile
Slow or unstable network connection
Antivirus programs
Shared calendars
Outlook is configured to prompt you for credentials
If you are using an Exchange account, there is a setting in your Outlook profile to always prompt for logon credentials. To find the setting, please follow:
1. In Outlook 213, go to File tab > Info >
Account Settings > Account Settings…
2. Highlight your Exchange account and click Change button.
3. Click on More Settings button.
4. Select the Security tab.
5. Under the User Identification, make sure the “Always prompt for logon credentials” option is not selected.
If you are using other types of email, please make sure you have ticked the option “Remember password”.
Incorrect credential cached in Credential Manager
Your Windows system stores user credentials on your computer. If the cached credentials are incorrect, you will be prompted for password. This issue usually happens after the password for your domain user account is changed. Before your password changed,
you saved your credentials. The stored credentials are not overwritten when Outlook triggers the authentication prompt even if you enable the Remember my credentials option.
To fix this issue, you need to remove the corrupted credentials, follow these steps:
Click Start, click Control Panel, and then click Credential Manager.
Note If View by is set to Category, click User Accounts first, and then click Credential Manager.
Locate the set of credentials that has Outlook in the name.
Click the name to expand the set of credentials, and then click Remove from Vault.
Repeat step 3 for any additional sets of credentials that have the word Outlook in the name.
Required Authentication Settings for outgoing server and incoming server
Different email provider may need different authentication settings. Please make sure you have set the server settings correctly. You can contact your email provider to gather the information.
In general, we select the “My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication” option and the first bullet “Use same settings as my incoming mail server”.
In addition, click on the Advanced tab and check if you have enter the correct Server Port Number and select the correct encrypt type. Below is a screenshot for an IMAP account:
Outlook Anywhere is not configured to use NTLM Authentication
The Outlook Anywhere feature allows you to access your Exchange account remotely from the Internet when you are working outside your organization's firewall.
When using Outlook Anywhere to connect to your Exchange server, we need to choose
the authentication method among Basic Authentication, NTLM Authentication and Negotiate Authentication. The difference among them is the way that the passwords are sent when connecting to the server. With Basic Authentication,
the password is sent in clear text. Using NTLM Authenticationcan significantly reduce the number of password prompts.
To check the authentication setting, please go to File > Account Settings > Account Settings,
select the Exchange account, and then click
Change. In the Change Account wizard, click
More Settings, and then click the Connection tab. Click the Exchange Proxy Settings button and now, you can see the settings under
Proxy authentication settings. Try to change the authentication to
NTLM Authentication and then check the issue again.
Slow or unstable network connection
If your network connection is slow or unstable, Outlook may lose connection to the mail server. When Outlook try to reconnect, it will prompt for the credentials. To verify this, please switch to a stable network environment and then check if this issue
persists.
Corrupt Outlook Profile
Corrupt profile may cause Outlook to no longer remember your password. Please try to create a new mail profile in Control Panel and reconfigure your email account in the new profile to fix the issue. To create a new mail profile, you can refer:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/829918
Antivirus software
Antivirus software usually integrates into your Outlook and it may cause some conflicts. Try to temporarily turn off your antivirus software to check if the issue will be gone.
Shared Calendar
Shared calendars can impact the user credentials, this issue may also occur if you have shared calendars opened in Outlook. You can try to unselect the shared calendar to check the result. It’s recommended to not open the shared calendar unless you want
to view them.
If you have any comments, welcome to post in the forum. Thank you.

Nope...
I went through point by point by point, top to bottom, checking and verifying every single item as a possible cause for why my system (Outlook 2013 running on Windows 8.1 and connecting to Exchange 2010) insists on prompting me for my password every single
time I start Outlook. None of the solutions worked, my system still prompts me. I don't even have to supply a password. When the prompt dialog appears, I just cancel it. Within a few seconds, the bottom Outlook status bar changes to
"Need Password" with a key icon to the left. Then I just click on that message and immediately Outlook connects to Exchange.
The freaking software is BROKEN! Period.

How to stop table columns widths from drifting

I discovered that all the columns widths of my tables change on their own,
leading me with tables of different columns widths where I wanted to
maintain a strong cohesion of presentation among them.
Here is a scenario to reproduce and understand the problem:
• create a new Pages'08 document;
• insert a Table;
the 3 columns of this newly created table are 5.49 cm width each.
Problematic case:
• change the first column width with:<pre> Table > Table > Column Width > 5 cm</pre> and hit return
• the column width will switch to 5.01 cm
• the 2 other columns widths will have switched to 5.50 cm.
Is there a technique, I didn't find yet, to define a table column to a
fixed value so that Pages'08 won't make it drift and wont touch to
other columns width?
