SharePoint Designer 2007 - Errors with Edit Document Properties Form

All,
I'm using SharePoint Designer 2007 and in two of my document libraries when I upload content I get this error:
Object reference not set to an
instance of an object.   at
Microsoft.SharePoint.ApplicationPages.UploadPage.GetEditFormUrl(SPFile spfile)
   at Microsoft.SharePoint.ApplicationPages.UploadPage.OnSubmit(Object o,
EventArgs e)
   at
System.Web.UI.HtmlControls.HtmlInputButton.OnServerClick(EventArgs e)
   at

   at
System.Web.UI.Page.RaisePostBackEvent(NameValueCollection postData)
   at
System.Web.UI.Page.ProcessRequestMain(Boolean includeStagesBeforeAsyncPoint,
Boolean includeStagesAfterAsyncPoint)
So - when I open the EditForm.aspx page and attempt to add the proper Document Library Properties - and see that the Edit Document Properties Form is blank no matter what File - I try to add I get this Error:
“The page you have selected does not contain a reference to the correct SharePoint list”
Therefore - since the EditForm.aspx page hasn't been changed in a while - what are some items to look at to remedy this odd problem.

All,
I fixed this - by Opening the page in Designer - going to Insert -> SharePoint Controls -> List Form then selecting the proper library from the list - then selecting Edit Item Form. I then right mouse clicked the library and selected Properties
-> clicked List Properties then clicked the Supporting Files tab and under the Edit Document Forms Property - selected the item as such - clicked OK - saved everything -> refreshed the browser then all worked!

Cannot edit pages in SharePoint Designer 2007 "The Server could not complete your request...

Hi All,
We are using SharePoint Designer 2007.When we try to open any page in designer we get following error,
"The Server could not complete your request. Contact your Internet Service Provider or Web server administrator to make sure that the server has the FrontPage Server Extensions or SharePoint Services installed"
If I click on Details button then I get the following message
"Object moved. Object moved to here."
Anyone experienced anything like this before?
Also when I try to edit sites when browsing on IE and than clicking on "Page" and "Edit in SPD2007" it's always
opening login.aspx site in SPD and that is the only one I can edit.
Kindly, please help me on this issue.

Sharepoint Designer 2007 system requirements

I have been asked to take over the Website of our local genealogical society. The site was set up and is maintained using Sharepoint Designer 2007. We don't have any server or such, I have a Windows Vista x64 PC home computer. At the download site to get
SPD 2007 it says system requirements are for XP SP3. Will this product run OK on my computer or should I upgrade to a newer version of Sharepoint Designer before taking over this project?

the version of SharePoint Designer must match the version of SharePoint. For example, you can ONLY use SharePoint Designer 2007 with SharePoint Server 2007 (SharePoint Services 3 if you're using the free version), and you can ONLY use SharePoint Designer
2010 with SharePoint 2010, SPD 2013 with SP 2013.
SPD 2007 should work fine with Vista.

How to set Mandatory Choice field while Creating Custom Task using Sharepoint Designer 2007

Hi,
I am new to Sharepoint development.I dont know whether i am posting the question in Correct place.Kindly redirect me to the correct place if i am posting it in wrong place.
I created a custom task in Sharepoint Designer 2007 using
Collect Data from User
Action.
I created a field in the task form which is of choice type and
unchecked allow blank values
because i wanted that field to be a mandatory field.When i handled that task ,i was able to complete that task
without selecting that mandatory field.But, I was expecting not to allow me to complete the task without selecting that field. Kindly tell me how to set the choice field as mandatory.

Hi,
You are using SharePoint Designer 2007, so I moved the thread to the appropriate forum for MOSS 2007.
This is by design that
Workflow-generated form (for action Collect data from User) does not perform validation properly on drop-down choices, the workaround is to use JavaScript to perform the field validation.
This thread has the JavaScript code can help you:

SharePoint Designer 2010 Error occurs when accessing Edit Form: "The server returned a non-specific error when trying to get data from the data source ..." This occurs when using "" in a calculated column in a SharePoint List

I created a calculated column "Expiration Date" in SharePoint 2010 with formula, =IF([Contingent Hire]=TRUE,(Created+90),(IF([Contingent Hire]=FALSE," ")))
This works in the SharePoint list but when I go to edit the Edit Form in Designer. I get the error specified in the title of this post. I'm trying to make it so the Expiration Date is blank when another column, "Contingent Hire" (a YES/No
column) is FALSE.
The Edit Form is essentially a DataViewWebpart. If I remove the " ", like so, "(IF([Contingent Hire]=FALSE,))" from the calc column, the error goes away; however, the Expiration Date field does not
remain blank like I want it to.
Does anyone have any suggestions? (Below is the error generated when I open Designer and then try to open the Edit form for the corresponding list containing the calc column)
JackSki123

Hi Jack,
Could you provide a screenshot about this issue?
As Dimitri suggested, you can install the update for your SharePoint Designer and check again.
And you can also check if you can display "NA" instead of " " in your calculated column per the following post.

Create a Webpart with Sharepoint Designer to see and upload documents in document set

Hello,
In a document set, we see documents in this document set and we can upload files and documents only in this document set.
Can i save this view to other sites in webPart ?
I tried to use sharepoint designer saving the dataview in a file and then import this file in other site but the result is that webpart show me the root of the library, not the document set and same for file uploads, it show me the file upload window for
the root of the library.
Thanks.

Hi,
Thanks for your answer.
Yes, i linked source site collection from SPD; I don't want to send but i want to display document set in another site.
Finaly, i found a solution but i don't know if its the best practice :
i have all my libraries in the top site to have all important documents in one site.
So i want to display a library/folder/document set in webParts to my subsites.
To do this, i create a dataview in SPD; i save this dataview in a file and import this file as webPart in my subsites.
my problem : It display the root of my library instead of within the document set. AND when i clic on "upload a document", it display the root of my library upload form instead of the document set upload form
my solution : i create a dataview in SPD; i copy/past the document set upload form link in this dataview; I save this dataview in a file and import this file as webPart in my subsite; from the webpart of my subsite, i create a view to my document set.
... should i do it for all my views ? or is there another solution ?
Thanks

Sharepoint Designer 2010 and HTML Editing

Hi -
This may sound like a stupid question, but is there WYSIWG in Sharepoint Designer 2010? I've got to do basic HTML code, insert items, insert links, insert columns/tables, etc. I don't see a way to do this in Designer? Maybe I'm blind? I
am used to coding in Dreamweaver. Should I just assume that I'm going to have to continue to do my code/designs in Dreamweaver and then copy it in to Designer?
I'm pretty confused, I thought I could do some basic HTML (aside of editing fonts/colors etc) in Designer. I'm basically trying to create a wiki page with FAQ style text and some images and buttons.
I'm new to all this, I come from an admin and web design background, not really a Sharepoint Design/Development background.
Thanks for any help!

You will normally need to edit a page in Advanced mode to get access to modify its HTML. This will unghost the page.

Workflow Manager and SharePoint Designer publishing error

Hello all,
I'm hoping for some help in fixing this issue.
I've been trying to publish a workflow using SharePoint Designer only to find that I get this error:
"Errors were found when compilint the workflow. The workflow files were saved but cannot be run."
After clicking on the advanced button it shows error:
System.InvalidOperationException: Operation failed with error Microsoft.Workflow.Client.WorkflowCommunicationException: The request was aborted: The request was canceled. Client ActivityId : 6a78ad9c-6ac6-f03a-0680-003bd46e5f68. ---> System.Net.WebException:
The request was aborted: The request was canceled. ---> Microsoft.SharePoint.SPException: The requested operation requires an HTTPS (SSL) channel.
Ensure that the target endpoint address supports SSL and try again.
Target endpoint address:
Note: the message cuts off after the "Target endpoint address".
Looking on the SharePoint server, when I try and pull up the Workflow Manager site (https://localhost:12290/) I get this response:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
xmlns:i="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<Code>AuthorizationError</Code><message><Message>The caller does not have the necessary
permissions required for this operation. Permissions granted: None. Required permissions: ReadScope.</Message></message></Error>
I am running this farm with HTTPS and I have registered the SP workflow service with the appropriate application. I have also set the Workflow Management Site bindings in IIS to utilize the same certificate as the default SharePoint site.
At this point, I don't know if the error that I received from Designer is related to the Site error, although I do know that I also have a Development environment that is able to publish workflows just fine. However, this farm uses HTTP rather than HTTPS
so I can only assume that the differences are what's causing the issue. I would appreciate any help that anyone can offer. Thanks!

Hi,
As I understand, you encountered the issue when you published a workflow on SharePoint 2013 workflow platform.
I wonder does it work well before when using 2013 workflow platform? If it works before, did you install any updates or change the configuration to the workflow related settings?
If this is the first time after you installed workflow manager 2013, then I’d recommend you try re-registering workflow service per the link below and post the result:

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj658588(v=office.15).aspx
From the message you accessed workflow host uri, please make sure the account to wfsetup and wfservice account are both in wfadmins group.

SharePoint Designer: throwing error while open my sharepoint web applicaiton

When i try to open web application in sharepoint designer. I can't able to open it throw error like this
An Error occured accessing your Microsoft sharepoint foundation site files. Authors - if authoring against a web server, please contact the webmaster for this server's web site. WebMaster - please see the server's application event log for more details

This error occurs if you try to use a reverse proxy to rewrite the response body contents for a SharePoint site as well. We were attempting to inject a Google analytics tracking javascript in the body of all responses. The code never did show up
successfully and this error message resulted as well. We eventually discovered a web solution out on Codeplex that allows you to add the Google analytics tracking script. This article hinted at the root cause:

Error when editing a PDF form

I created a PDF form with text field boxes and saved it. I opened it and was able to type in the field boxes no problem.
When I try to edit that same form and then re-save it the field boxes are suddenly no longer highlighted or able to type text in them.
Do you have to re-create a form each time you want to edit it???

I was able to figure out why they werent showing up. I stupidly had the "read only" button on.
Next question, how can I set it up so that when the form is typed into and then saved that it cant be edited after that?
Example: someone enters text into a text field, then saves it under a new name, then emails it to a 2nd party and they can not edit the text in the field box.
Thanks

Infopath 2007 and SharePoint 2007 error with Web Service Submit and Recieve

I have an InfoPath form with code. The code submits the form to SharePoint and to SQL DB through Web Service. The form has some workflow. When form is in a "New" state if submits to SharePoint and Database through custom web service. Works fine
from both Client and SharePoint browser form. The database ID is returned to the form and then stored in a field. In second stage of workflow additional fields are shown for Supervisor to fill out. I then have an "update" web service to update the
database. I set all the field values in the Web service then execute both the update Web Service and the SharePoint submit. I get an error (both if running from desktop or SharePoint) Error is
"The string '' is not a valid AllXsd value"
I know sometimes this happens with dates. But I've got all the dates set. The funny thing is in the first submit there are 2 dates in the second submit there is one date. All are set the same and on the first submit no problem submits correct dates to SQL
database through web Service. Second submit has 2 Boolean fields that I also default to a value of false. I've debugged and looked at all the values and everything has a value. I use delete NIL to make sure value in Web Service is set. I can save the data
in the form but not submit it because I get the web service error. If I save the data in form and download it and copy all the values in the XML to my Web Service and invoke the web service works fine. So there is no error in the web service. The first
submit submits both dates and some integer values. The only difference in second is the Boolean value but it is set to default of false for all checkboxes. I'm going out of mind trying to see what could be wrong. Also difference with second
is it sends in the ID of the record that was set in form by result of first submit query sending back the DB value. That value is an integer but I also set correctly.

Hi Somatco,
According to your description, my understanding is that you got an error when you ran report with xml type datasource.
Please set the xml datasource credential to Use Windows Authentication (integrated security). More information, please refer to the link:

Quick Question regarding an error with editable regions

Hello,
I am a co-op student and I work with other students as well, on our large company website. I have always been considered the cheif coder, and nobody knew the wesite layout and file directory as well as me. However, something terrible has happened while somebody was updating some information on one of your HTML pages.
I logged in to Dreamweaver CS3 on afternoon to make a very simple text error change on our website. As soon as I hit "synchronize sitewide", it stated that there was no synchronization necessary, although I had already made a change. So then, on the template (.DWT) page, I thought I would backspace any character, and then retype it again in order for the "save" option to appear, so that I could save the template, and have it update all HTML pages, as well as the page that had just said "no synchronization necessary". I thought that I had to update the template first, which was strange, as I never had to do this before.
When I clicked update, the error message that I got was that I have placed an editable region inside of a block tag. I checked the HTML pages as well as our template (.DWT) pages, and indeed, the "Page Header" was embedded in a <h1></h1> pair. The pair appears black and delete-able in the template files, and grey in the HTML files, which is expected. However, I have been working at this institution for four months, and I recall that the <h1> tag pair had always been there since I remember. (How badly did this other person mess up?! =S)
I tried to delete it from the .DWT file (the small editable region, and the <h1> tags), and now, what happens is that if I try to save a template so it updates all other HTML pages before synchronization, the template simply does not update anything, and I get no message whatsoever after clicking Save.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for coping with these many details. I simply want to be able to update HTML pages again, because my boss really needs it, and I have never had such a problem before (having made much larger changes to this same website in the past)
Thanks again,
Mr. V

How many child pages are you supporting with this DWT? Hopefully less than 50 pages.
Is your code valid? HTML Validator - http://validator.w3.org
Can you post a link to your DWT page, or copy and paste your code here?

CDS-11025 Error: Oracle Designer generation error with PL/SQL package

Hi friends,
We tried to generate a database package from Oracle Designer (10.1.2.6) and getting "syntax errors" but the package has no syntax errors when we copy and paste the code and compile in TOAD (10.6)

Thanks for any feedback,

Found the problem.
It was an issue with the CURSOR with the SELECT ... FROM (SELECT CASE WHEN THEN ELSE END). After swithing to the DECODE statement, Designer is able to generate the package.
CASE
WHEN ISOLATION_IND = 'Y' THEN
'A'
WHEN OPERATED_IND = 'Y' THEN
'B'
ELSE
'C'
END
decode(ISOLATION_IND,'Y','A',decode(OPERATED_IND,'Y','B','C'))
However, still strange to me that Designer doesn't like the CASE as part of SELECT.

Error in Editing Document Security - Plumtree 5.04 version

I got this error when I was trying to change the security for one file. I simply selected the document and clicked on the little lock icon for security at the top of the screen and I get this error. An unexpected error occured when trying to start the Editor.It makes it difficult to try and change security on multiple files at once without changing the security on the entire folder.
If more clarification needed, just let me know. Thanks in advance.

The above files are not there in my Downloaded program files window. Which means my active x is not enabled.
Any idea where can I get these files ?
