Sharepoint 2007 list error - The '}' character, hexadecimal value 0x7D, cannot be included in a name. Line 1, position 440.

Hi Everyone,
We have a sharepoint 2007 deployment which in general has been fine since it was built.  
Version is 12.0.0.6421 (MOSS 2007 SP2 (KB953334 & KB953338))
on a Windows 2003 R2 SP2 server.
We created a list a while back to store information for our servers but for some reason it now has an error.
the symptoms are:
1) Navigating to the list and choosing any view (a few custom views), we can see the data fine
2)  Creating new items or modifying existing items brings up:
An unexpected error has occurred.
3) Trying to access the list settings brings up:
An unexpected error has occurred.
4) Using "view all site content" and clicking on the list brings up:
The '}' character, hexadecimal value 0x7D, cannot be included in a name. Line 1, position 440.
I've attempted to search for the error online but the error doesn't bring back anything specific to Sharepoint.
My gut feeling is either a corruption of the list or a user has entered an invalid character in one of the list entries, but I cannot amend the list in any way.
Ordinarily I would advise the user to re-create the list and enter the information from scratch, however this list contains alot of information and is crucial to the server teams documentation.
Does anyone have any ideas on where I should be focusing my search efforts?  I did check the logs and couldn't see any obvious entries for this list.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Carl

Posted this a few weeks back - would appreciate any suggestions?

    Hi,
    I suggest you take the code below which works in my environment to do the test again:
    ClientContext clientContext = new ClientContext("http://sp/");
    List list = clientContext.Web.Lists.GetByTitle("List2");
    FieldCollection fields = list.Fields;
    clientContext.Load(fields);

  • XmlException on ExecuteQuery - Name cannot begin with the ' ' character, hexadecimal value 0x20. Line 78, position 36.

    I'm getting XmlException when trying to call ExecuteQuery of the ClientContext.
    I'm getting this no matter what I'm trying to load and no matter what site I'm trying to connect to.
    This happens when connecting to Office365 site (tried multiple tenants and site collections).
    What's strange I'm getting this on one PC (Windows Server 2008 R2 without SharePoint installed), but not on another VM (Windows Server 2012 with SharePoint 2013 installed).
    This used to work on both in the past.
    Could it be that one of the windows updates broke it?
    Just for reference the test code is very simple and I'm calling it from a console app (same result on .NET 4.0, 4.5 and 4.5.1):
    static void ConnectTest(string username, string password, string url)
    SecureString securePassword = new SecureString();
    foreach (char c in password)
    securePassword.AppendChar(c);
    SharePointOnlineCredentials onlineCredentials = new SharePointOnlineCredentials(username, securePassword);
    using (ClientContext clientContext = new ClientContext(url))
    clientContext.Credentials = onlineCredentials;
    Web site = clientContext.Web;
    clientContext.Load(site);
    clientContext.ExecuteQuery();
     

    I faced with this exeption becouse of OpenDNS.
    You can try the following:
    1. Use another DNS server. (prefered solution)
    or
    2. Add the following in C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts:
    157.56.58.43 msoid.YourSharePointName.onmicrosoft.com
    (157.56.58.43 it's a one of msoid.onmicrosoft.com ips you can resolve it yourself)
    for example if you SharePoint online url is org1.sharepoint.com you should add in hosts:
    157.56.58.43 msoid.org1.onmicrosoft.com

    Hello! I have never worked with XML or SharePoint's Web Services but am not facing a need to use it. I am attempting to write to my SharePoint 2007 list with the following code and am getting the following error :

    Any help on getting me the ability to write to my list will be greatly appreciated.

    Hi Manzutto,
    Not sure if you have attached the whole code in the post.
    If so, it contains errors in the Batch Element file, <Method> tab should have </Method> in the end.
    batchElement.InnerXml = "<Method ID='1' Cmd='New'>" + "<Field Name='Title'>test</Field></Method>"
    And the element in the batch element xml is case sensitive. Please make sure you have the xml file with correct format.

  • How to populate a sharepoint 2010 list from the active directory. How to populate a sharepoint 2010 list with all sharepoint user profiles

    How to populate a sharepoint 2010 from the active directory.
    I want a list of all the computers in the active directory,
    another one with all users.
    I want also to populate a sharepoint 2010 list from the sharepoint user profiles.
    Thanks
    sz

    While
    the contacts list is usually filled out for contacts that are outside the company, there are times when you would use a contacts list to store internal and external resources.  Wouldn’t it be nice if you didn’t have to re-type your internal contacts’
    information that are already in the system?  Now you can with a little InfoPath customization on the contacts list. 
    Here’s our plan:
    Create the contacts list, and open in InfoPath
    Create a data connection to the User Profile web service
    Customize the form adding some text, a people picker and a button
    Create InfoPath rules that will populate the contact fields from the user fields in the User Profile store
    Let’s get going!  Before we begin, make sure you have InfoPath 2010 installed locally on your computer.  I also want to give credit Laura
    Rogers and Darvish Shadravan’s book Using
    Microsoft InfoPath 2010 with Microsoft SharePoint 2010 Step by Step.  I know it looks like a lot of steps, but it’s easy once you get the hang of it.
    So obviously we need a contacts list.  If you don’t already have one, go to the SharePoint site where it will live, and create a contacts list.
    From the list, click the List tab on the ribbon, then click Customize form:
    So now we have our form open in InfoPath 2010.  Let’s add our elements to the form. 
    Above all the fields, let’s add some text instructing users what to do with the the field we’re about to add (.e.g To enter an existing user’s information, choose the user below).
    Insert a people picker control by clicking the Person/Group Picker control in the Controls section of the ribbon.  This will add a column to the contacts list called group.
    Below the people picker, insert a button control from the same section of the ribbon as above.  With the button still highlighted, click the Control Tools|Properties tab on the ribbon. 
    Then in the Label box, change the text to something more appropriate to our task (e.g. Click here to load user data!).
    You can drag the button control a little larger to account for the text.
    We should end up with something like this:
    Before we can populate the fields with user data, we need to create a connection to the User Profile Service.
    Add a data connection to the User Profile Service
    Click the Data tab on the ribbon, and click the option From Web Service, and From SOAP Web Service.
    For the location, enter the URL of your SharePoint site in the following format – http://<site url>/_vti_bin/UserProfileService.asmx?WSDL.  Click Next.
    Note - for the URL, it can be any SharePoint site URL, not just to the site where your list is.
    For the operation, choose GetUserProfileByName.  Click Next.
    Click Next on the next two screens.
    On the final screen, uncheck the box for “Automatically retrieve data when form is opened”. This is because we are going to retrieve the data when the button is clicked, also for performance reasons.
    Now we need to wire up the actions on our button to populate the fields with the information for the user in the people picker control.
    Tell the form to read the user from the people picker control
    Click the Home tab on the ribbon.
    Click the button control we created, and under the Rules section of the ribbon, click Manage Rules. Notice the pane appear on the far right.
    In the Rules pane, click New –> Action. Change the name to something like “Query and load user data”.
    Leave the condition to default (none – rule runs when button is clicked).
    Click the Add button next to “Run these actions:”, and choose “Set a field’s value”.
    For Field, click the button on the right to load the select a field dialog.  Click the Show advanced view on the bottom.  At the top, click the drop down and choose the GetUserProfileByName
    (Secondary) option.  Expand myFields and queryFields to the last option and highlightAccountName.  Click ok. 
    For Value, click the formula icon. On the formula screen, click the Insert Field or Group button. Again click the show advanced view link, but this time leave the data
    connection as Main. Expand dataFields, then mySharePointListItem_RW.  At the bottom you should see a folder called group (the people picker control we just added to the form).  Expand this, then pc:Person,
    and highlightAccountId.  Click Ok twice to get back to the Rules pane.
    If we didn’t do this and just queried the user profile service, it would load the data of the currently logged in user.  So we need to tell the form what user to load the data for.  We take the AccountID field from the people
    picker control and inject into the AccountName query field of the User Profile Service data connection. 
    Load the user profile service information for the chosen user
    Click the Add button next to “Run these actions:”, and choose Query for data.
    In the popup, for Data connection, click the one we created earlier – GetUserProfileByName and clickOk.
    We’re closing in on our goal.  Let’s see our progress.  We should see something like this:
    Now that we have the user’s data read into the form, we can populate the fields in the contact form.  The number of steps to complete will depend on how many fields you want to populate.  We need to add an action step for
    each field.  I’ll show you one example and then you will just repeat the steps for the other fields.  Let’s update the Job Title field.
    Populate the contact form fields with existing user’s data
    Click the Add button next to “Run these actions:”, and choose “Set a field’s value”.
    For Field, click the button on the right to load the select a field dialog.  Highlight the field Job Title.
    For Value, click the formula icon. On the formula screen, click the Insert Field or Group button.  Click the Show advanced view on the bottom. At the top, click the
    drop down and choose theGetUserProfileByName (Secondary) option.  Expand the fields all the way down until you see the Value field.  Highlight it but don’t click ok, but click the Filter
    Data button, then Add. 
    For the first dropdown that says Value, choose Select a field or group.   The value field will be highlighted, but click the field Name field
    under PropertyData.  Click Ok. 
    In the blank field after “is equal to”, click in the box and choose Type text.  Then type the text Title. 
    Click ok until you get back to the Manage Rules pane.  The last previous screen will look like this.
    We’re going to update common fields that are in the user’s profile, and likely from Active Directory.  You can update fields like first and last name, company, mobile and work phone number, etc.  For the other fields, the
    steps are the same except the Field you choose to update from the form, and the very last step where you enter the text will change.  Here’s what the rules look like when we’re done:
    We’re all done, good work!  You can preview the form and try it now.  Click Ctrl+Shift+B to preview the form.  Once you’re satisfied, you can publish the form back to the library.  Click File –> Quick
    Publish.  Once it’s done, you will get confirmation:
    Now open your form in SharePoint.  From the contact list, click Add new item.  Type in a name, and click the button and watch the magic happen!

  • Pulling data from a SharePoint 2007 List

    I'm wondering if anyone has figured out how to pull data from a column in a SharePoint 2007 list to be able to dyamically generate a reaction in a flash object.
    Our designer created a dashboard of thermometers for our projects that use two variables, % complete and status (green, yellow, red, blue).
    As the end user, I want to be able to update my project in my SharePoint list and have it so that my updates automatically populate that flash based dashboard.  Right now, he's using an XML document that is stored in a folder on our SharePoint site and then simply updating the XML file when there are changes.
    It would be ideal to pull this data from the list rather than having to update and then upload the xml document to the SharePoint site - any ideas?
    Thanks!

    Sharepoint has a rich XML interface accessible via the URL.  Just point your XML.load to the List data from this interface.
    An example of XML / URL access is here:
    http://vspug.com/dwise/2008/01/10/accessing-sharepoint-list-data-as-xml/
    Hope that gets you started.

    Hi pussygalore,
    If you are having issues with iTunes after an attempted update, you may find the following article helpful:

    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5376
    You may want to make sure that in the last step (reinstalling iTunes) that you are installing the latest/newest available version, and not attempting a reinstall from an older file.

  • "Error: the xajax Javascript file could not be included. Perhaps the URL is incorrect? URL: /includes/javascript/xajax_js/xajax.js". other posters with a xajax error on this board got the response to go look for developer resources. (i'm not a developer)

    I'm on a mac running 10.6.8, was using Firefox 6.02 when the problem started, i performed a clean install of 7.01, installed the latest Flashplayer, and reinstalled java (the 10.6.5 update file from apple's site).
    I seem able to load video at youtube.com, and was able to load web-based irc chatrooms at ircchat.tv. however, at jamplay.com a paid member site, all of the lessons are flash video, and there's a live video feed chat room that is also flash based, and I am not able to view this content. the video content pops up the error message "Error: the xajax Javascript file could not be included. Perhaps the URL is incorrect?
    URL: /includes/javascript/xajax_js/xajax.js" and the clicking on the "launch chatroom" button does exactly nothing.
    I have contacted the jamplay site team but their recommendations are the steps I have already taken, mentioned above, that did not resolve the issue.
    some links to content on their site visible without being a member:
    http://www.jamplay.com/
    this one has a flash interface that, if things were working, would have a video in the center and members and staff talking abouth that area of the site when you click on one of the title buttons. Now that I am having this problem, nothing is clickable and there's no indication that there should be a video in the center. The error message regarding xajax does not come up at all.
    http://www.jamplay.com/guitar-lessons/beginners/1/527-16-circle-of-fifths
    same thing. video content is missing, xajax error does not appear.
    http://www.jamplay.com/live
    when I load these all content except the video loads on the page. this page does not give me the error at all, just does not load the video
    I can't seem to recreate the actual error without being logged in as a member of the site.
    The apple support team gave me a one-time free suppport ticket to troubleshoot an ethernet issue I was having. Unfortunately, the databases I removed were not deemed either by apple or me to be noteworthy or necessary to retain (all of them were for software I not longer have or use). I don't know which plist file might have been the one I need now. I did reinstall the java and flash items. The only other item that I think it might be is a set of belkin router software that I uninstalled because i'm not using any belkin hardware anymore.
    If someone has any kind of idea I would be most appreciative.

    That's a comment in the file. It has no effect at all.

    Symptom:  When downloading a file from the Internet, the file will not open if launched directly from the source location, or saved locally and then opened.  This
    is impacting both Word and Excel.  I haven’t tested other applications.  The user gets the error "The file is corrupt and cannot be opened.".
    Expected behaviour:  Documents should open in Protected View because they are coming from an untrusted zone (Internet Zone).
    Troubleshooting Results:
     -      If I turn off Protected View the error goes away and the documents open without
    issue (but not in Protected View obviously)
    -      If I save the file locally, then copy it to a network drive, the problem goes away (because the zone information is changed?).
    -      If I save the file directly to a network location, then open it, the problem does not impact me (also doesn’t open in Protected View)
    -      If I repair Office the problem is NOT fixed
    -      If I reinstall Office the problem is NOT fixed
    The problem doesn't impact all machines, but any new machine I build suffers the problem.  All Protected View options are set by group policy and all machines are getting the correct settings.
    -       The setting “Enable Protected View for files originating from the Internet” is enabled
    -       The setting “Enable Protected View for files located in potentially unsafe locations” is enabled
    -      The setting “Enable Protected View for Outlook attachments” is enabled
    -      Enable Data Execution Prevention mode is enabled
    Has anyone seen this problem or can anyone offer suggestions of where to start looking for the root cause?  There are lots of postings on this around the various Internet forums, but most
    just suggest turning off Protected View, that is not a valid solution to my mind, Protected View is there for a very sound reason and it is not something I'm willing to turn off, especially when it is working on some machines as expected.
    Thanks.
    James.

    Thanks for coming back, James, and I'm glad you've found the source of your
    problem.
    As an aside, I had no idea HP made software like that and will take a look
    at it - or would if I could. Personally, although I love their hardware, I
    wouldn't touch HP software, and the fact that their web page doesn't load
    (in IE8) just reinforces my feeling.
    Enjoy,
    Tony

    I am getting an error "The older version of Bonjour cannot be removed" I am trying to get rid of all of my Apple Software. What can I do? Because it will not let me uninstall iTunes either.

    Akeenleyside,
    Are you removing your Apple software in an attempt to update to iTunes 10.5?  I ask this because I am getting the same message when trying to install iTunes 10.5.
