Use xlsm Format in SharePoint 2010?

I have a excel document with xlsm format (Excel Macro-Enabled Workbook, excel document containing VBA source code) and I wonder if I can upload it into SharePoint 2010 enterprise to display the powerpivot graph and of course use VBA code in Excel Service
in relation to SharePoint Business intelligence?

Hi,
according to a Microsoft Blog Post says the following:
One additional note about VBA. Excel Services 2007 didn’t support loading *.xlsm files at
all because such files are meant to contain macros and files with macros would not load. Now that the SharePoint 2010 version of
Excel Services knows how to ignore VBA macros, I am happy to say that also means *.xlsm files can now be loaded in Excel Services.
You will find the original blog post here: http://blogs.office.com/b/microsoft-excel/archive/2009/11/19/excel-services-in-sharepoint-2010-feature-support.aspx
Kind regards
Stefan

Error while creating folder named "bin" using explorer view in sharepoint 2010

I am getting error when I create a folder in a library named "bin" using explorer view in sharepoint 2010.
When I create folders with other names I don't get any errors.
Please suggest.

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that you got an
error when you create a folder named “bin” in a SharePoint library with explorer view.
There are any Microsoft.NET Framework assemblies that have controls or parts that the SharePoint site uses, which are stored in the bin folder. You can remove “bin” from hidden segments, then you can create a folder named “bin”
in the SharePoint library with explorer view.
1.Opened IIS Manager and selected Server name -> Request Filtering -> Hidden Segments tab -> Removed "bin" from there:
2.Perform IISRESET:
Thanks,

Error while connecting to external SQL table using BCS identity in SharePoint 2010

Hi all,
I am working on SharePoint Foundation 2010. I have a stand alone setup. Now I am trying to connect to a SQL table in another server. I have used SharePoint Designer to connect using BCS. I have selected "BCS Identity" for authenticating with SQL
in the external content type. then I created a list with this external content type.
I get the following error upon opening the external list.
Login failed for user 'INYKGW\sp_farm'.
I am confused. how do I solve this error.
any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi letShare ,
Whether the account 'INYKGW\sp_farm' is current user account or a service managed account?
Could you please provide detail error message of ULS log to determine the exact cause of the error.
For SharePoint 2010, by default, ULS log is at
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\LOGS
Also please have a look at the blog :

Change Master page of a site using ECMA Script in sharepoint 2010

Hi All,
I'm working on SharePoint 2010.
I have a requirement where in I need to create a site and apply a particular master page to the newly created site using
ECMA Script.
The site gets created but while applying the master page it gives me an error stating the method 'set_masterUrl' is not defined.
Here is my code:
$(document).ready(function () {
ExecuteOrDelayUntilScriptLoaded(createSite, "sp.js"); //This is used to ensure until sp.js is loaded, createSite will not be executed.
function createSite() {
var context = SP.ClientContext.get_current();
var collWeb = context.get_web().get_webs();
var webCreationInfo = new SP.WebCreationInformation();
webCreationInfo.set_title('TestSite');
webCreationInfo.set_description('Description of new Web site...');
webCreationInfo.set_language(1033);
webCreationInfo.set_webTemplate('STS#0');
webCreationInfo.set_url('TestSite');
webCreationInfo.set_useSamePermissionsAsParentSite(false);
var oNewWebsite = collWeb.add(webCreationInfo);
context.load(oNewWebsite);
context.executeQueryAsync(Onsuccess, onfail);
function Onsuccess() {
dummy(context, oNewWebsite);
function onfail(sender, args) {
alert('Request failed. ' + args.get_message() + '\n' + args.get_stackTrace());
function dummy(context,oNewWebsite)
var strMasterPageUrl = '/_catalogs/masterpage/Test.master';
oNewWebsite.set_masterUrl(strMasterPageUrl);
oNewWebsite.set_customMasterUrl(strMasterPageUrl);
oNewWebsite.update();
context.executeQueryAsync(Onsuccess1, onfail1);
function Onsuccess1() {
alert("Done");
function onfail1(sender, args) {
alert('Request failed. ' + args.get_message() + '\n' + args.get_stackTrace());
Please help.
Thanks,
Sachin

The issue is coming because the scope of context and oNewWebsite is not available in your success method. Try to modify the code as below and see if that helps.
$(document).ready(function () {
ExecuteOrDelayUntilScriptLoaded(createSite, "sp.js"); //This is used to ensure until sp.js is loaded, createSite will not be executed.
var context = null;
var oNewWebsite = null;
function createSite() {
context = SP.ClientContext.get_current();
var collWeb = context.get_web().get_webs();
var webCreationInfo = new SP.WebCreationInformation();
webCreationInfo.set_title('TestSite');
webCreationInfo.set_description('Description of new Web site...');
webCreationInfo.set_language(1033);
webCreationInfo.set_webTemplate('STS#0');
webCreationInfo.set_url('TestSite');
webCreationInfo.set_useSamePermissionsAsParentSite(false);
oNewWebsite = collWeb.add(webCreationInfo);
context.load(oNewWebsite);
context.executeQueryAsync(Onsuccess, onfail);
function Onsuccess() {
dummy(context, oNewWebsite);
function onfail(sender, args) {
alert('Request failed. ' + args.get_message() + '\n' + args.get_stackTrace());
function dummy(context,oNewWebsite)
var strMasterPageUrl = '/_catalogs/masterpage/Test.master';
oNewWebsite.set_masterUrl(strMasterPageUrl);
oNewWebsite.set_customMasterUrl(strMasterPageUrl);
oNewWebsite.update();
context.executeQueryAsync(Onsuccess1, onfail1);
function Onsuccess1() {
alert("Done");
function onfail1(sender, args) {
alert('Request failed. ' + args.get_message() + '\n' + args.get_stackTrace());
The other way is to use this.context and this.oNewWebsite. To see how you can modify your code have a look at the following link.

Advanced Search using conditional & logical operators+ sharepoint 2010

Hi Team,
We have an requirement something like this. we have to search values from Custom SharePoint List using Conditional & Logical Operators in SharePoint 2010. how can i achieve this ? if some one has worked on something like this, can you please share the
details to my email id ([email protected])
Thanks in Advance.
Cheers, San

Hi Santhosh,
If you have only one list, then you can use CAML query to perform search in that list. You can write code to generate dynamic CAML based on selection in the filter.
If have to perform the search function on multiple list then you can use Search object model and create dynamic query and execute it using Search OM.

Use of pages in SharePoint 2010

We would like the user to click on a link on main Team Site that will navigate the user to a page. That page will display a lot of content and will have a Content Query Web part that in turn will retrieve many documents from different library. The objective
is to have users look at some Fast Facts. We plan to create about 5 pages each having a CQWP and showing different Fast Facts content.
Questions:
1. Should we design a wiki page? We don't want users to enter comments, no discussions, no social.
2. What are the alternatives? If not a page, what is another way to meet our objectives?
Thanks so much!
Mayank

You should not use wiki page for this purpose. You should go with blank web part page available in team sites (site pages library).
Check this link for reference:
http://sharepointsolutions.com/sharepoint-help/blog/2012/08/blank-site-template-and-team-site-template-%E2%80%93-what%E2%80%99s-the-difference/
If you have enabled publishing feature then you can have multiple options in Pages library.

Issues using Project 2013 with SharePoint 2010

I'm a SharePoint Admin and a few users have come to me with issues related to checking in Project 2013 files. The scenario they describe is this:
Project 2013 file is saved and checked in to a document library
User opens the file and selects edit from the dialog menu.
The time the document is open varies, from a few minutes to over an hour
User is logged in as [email protected]
They can close the file, select check in, and update the file in the library
Once they try to open the file again, they are given a message saying that the file is checked out to server\user and asks whether they want to view a read only copy
Saving is disabled because it is read only
If the user tries to close the file, they are given the option to check in the file
Sometimes the file will check in and other times it will not.
Has anyone run into issues like this before?

Hi CjMOrr85,
Second time when you open the project file, which option do you select. "Read-only" of "Check-out to Edit". If you are using "Check-out" option, you should not have any issues.
Happy troubleshooting....

How to change the date format in Sharepoint 2010 to dd MMM yyyy

Hi,
I am looking to change the datetime format with in the modified column from mm/dd/yy to dd MMM yyyy. I dont want to create calculated field with dd MMM yyyy format. I want the actual modified column value to be represented as dd MMM yyyy format.
Thanks for your help in advance.

I'm not really sure what context you asking to change this for but to change your date time settings -
Go into Site Settings and under 'Central Administration' there is a link to 'Regional Settings'. Click this and you specify the way dates and times are displayed.
I have done this and mine displays as DD/MM/YYYY like you are asking.
My locale is current set to English (United Kingdom) and sort order is general. Even if you're not in the United Kingdom, I can only see this way being your solution as US dates are always set as MM/DD/YYYY.

Jinchun Chen: ""
Richard Mueller: "Good topic. Grammar needs work. "Caution" states undocumented stored procedure is safe for production, but later states it is not."
Ed Price: "Great article. We should include the technology in the title. Good descriptions, and great References!"
JS: "Although the outlined solution is interesting and shows the public the usage of the "new" system views finding the right dependencies, it is not recommended to describe the usage of undocumented features such as sp_msforeachdb
as there are alternatives, especially in this scenario. You could generate a query using the sys.databases view and let it print out the database name along with the use statement. In addition to this and as the statement has to be run with a high privileged
account as schema information is secured as well, it should be made safe to SQL injection. In many case in the statements there is just a concatentation of values used. You can easily inject code in here, Also make sure that names / object identifiers are
quoted with [] in order to allow also special characters like spaces in the names"

saramgsilva
Export To CSV for Windows Store apps
JH: "Most people laugh when they hear about CSV export of data. A database would be a better place for the data of an app. In my opinion this is not always true (because CSV is small and can be used in different ways),
so most apps should have the capability to export data into the CSV file format. This article shows how this can be done."

Ed Price: "Fantastic job on the code formatting, in-depth descriptions, and robust use of images!"
AM: "Thanks for presenting multiple approaches to solve the problem. It would be good to see a second part describing the format file."
DRC: "This is a good article which provides different ways to import the data to SQL, But this article needs some modifications. Suggestions: • It would be helpful, if mentioned on which version of SQL server and Visual studio scenario
was tested • We might encounter errors while using the format files, for example we get the below error if the format file doesn’t have blank space (character ) at the end of each line Msg 4862, Level 16, State 1, Line 10 Cannot bulk load because the file
"C:\temp\good.fmt" could not be read. Operating system error code (null). • So it will be helpful if you can provide a sample format file and TSQL script along with the possible output which can be tested and compared. • The sample query and the
format file is not yielding the right output. Screenshots shown in the article has invalid values (for example ID coulmn has invalid values). Format file need to be fixed to get the right data. • The format file under section “Files With Text Qualifiers” is
also invalid and the data is not imported properly. • Implementation of import using the SSIS package needs more details about how to make the delimiter consistent, Attaching a sample package would be helpful. "

How to Hide fields on customized DispForm.aspx in SharePoint 2010

Hi There,
I have been facing with this issue since 4 weeks, let me explain my requirement first.
I want to hide 2 fields on DispForm.aspx of a custom template.
Following are the lines of code written for customizing DispForm.aspx using ListFieldIterator SP control.
<SharePoint:ListFieldIterator runat="server" ExcludeFields="PublishingStartDate">
<CustomTemplate>
<tr>
<td class="fp-ms-vb2">
<SharePoint:FormField ControlMode="Display" DisableInputFieldLabel="true"
runat="server">
</td>
</tr>
<tr style="height:5px;"><td></td></tr>
</CustomTemplate>
</SharePoint:ListFieldIterator>
those 2 fields are also generated using ListFieldIterator control.
Can someone suggest me how to hide specific fields.
Thank you in advance,
Vikram

SharePoint 2010, Visual Studio 2010, Packaging a solution - The specified path, file name, or both are too long. The fully qualified file name must be less than 260 characters, and the directory name must be less than 248 characters.

Hi,
I have a solution that used to contain one SharePoint 2010 project. The project is named along the following lines:
<Company>.<Product>.SharePoint - let's call it Project1 for future reference. It contains a number of features which have been named according
to their purpose, some are reasonably long and the paths fairly deep. As far as I am concerned we are using sensible namespaces and these reflect our company policy of "doing things properly".
I first encountered the following error message when packaging the aforementioned SharePoint project into a wsp:
"The specified path, file name, or both are too long. The fully qualified file name must be less than 260 characters, and the directory name must be less than 248 characters."
I went through a great deal of pain in trying to rename the project, shorten feature names and namespaces etc... until I got it working. I then went about gradually
renaming everything until eventually I had what I started with, and it all worked. So I was none the wiser...not ideal, but I needed to get on and had tight delivery timelines.
Recently we wanted to add another SharePoint project so that we could move some of our core functinality out into a separate SharePoint solution - e.g. custom workflow
error logging. So we created another project in Visual Studio called:
<Company>.<Product>.SharePoint.<Subsystem> - let's call it Project2 for future reference
And this is when the error has come back and bitten me! The scenario is now as follows:
1. project1 packages and deploys successfully with long feature names and deep paths.
2. project2 does not package and has no features in it at all. The project2 name is 13 characters longer than project1
I am convinced this is a bug with Visual Studio and/or the Package MSBuild target. Why? Let me explain my findings so far:
1. By doing the following I can get project2 to package
In Visual Studio 2010 show all files of project2, delete the obj, bin, pkg, pkgobj folders.
Clean the solution
Shut down Visual Studio 2010
Open Visual Studio 2010
Rebuild the solution
Package the project2
et voila the package is generated!
This demonstrates that the package error message is in fact inaccurate and that it can create the package, it just needs a little help, since Visual Studio seems to
no longer be hanging onto something.
Clearly this is fine for a small time project, but try doing this in an environment where we use Continuous Integration, Unit Testing and automatic deployment of SharePoint
solutions on a Build Server using automated builds.
2. I have created another project3 which has a ludicrously long name, this packages fine and also has no features contained within it.
3. I have looked at the length of the path under the pkg folder for project1 and it is large in comparison to the one that is generated for project2, that is when it
does successfully package using the method outlined in 1. above. This is strange since project1 packages and project2 does not.
4. If I attempt to add project2 to my command line build using MSBuild then it fails to package and when I then open up Visual Studio and attempt to package project2
from the Visual Studio UI then it fails with the path too long error message, until I go through the steps outlined in 1. above to get it to package.
5. DebugView shows nothing useful during the build and packaging of the project.
6. The error seems to occur in
CreateSharePointProjectService target called at line 365 of
Microsoft.VisualStudio.SharePoint.targetsCurrently I am at a loss to work out why this is happening? My next task is to delete
project2 completely and recreate it and introduce it into my Visual Studio solution.
Microsoft, can you confirm whether this is a known issue and whether others have encountered this issue? Is it resolved in a hotfix?
Anybody else, can you confirm whether you have come up with a solution to this issue? When I mean a solution I mean one that does not mean that I have to rename my namespaces,
project etc... and is actually workable in a meaningful Visual Studio solution.

Hi
Yes, I thought I had fixed this my moving my solution from the usual documents to
c:\v2010\projectsOverflow\DetailedProjectTimeline
This builds ok, but when I come to package I get the lovely error:
Error 2 The specified path, file name, or both are too long. The fully qualified file name must be less than 260 characters, and the directory name must be less than 248 characters. C:\VS2010\ProjectsOverflow\DetailedProjectTimeline\VisualDetailedProjectTimelineWebPart\Features\Feature1\Feature1.feature VisualDetailedProjectTimeline
Now, the error seems to be related to
Can anyone suggest what might be causing this. Probably some path in an XML file somewhere. Here is my prime suspect!
<metaData>
<type name="VisualDetailedProjectTimelineWebPart.VisualProjectTimelineWebPart.VisualProjectTimeline, $SharePoint.Project.AssemblyFullName$" />
<importErrorMessage>$Resources:core,ImportErrorMessage;</importErrorMessage>
</metaData>
<data>
<properties>
<property name="Title" type="string">VisualProjectTimelineWebPart</property>
<property name="Description" type="string">My Visual WebPart</property>
</properties>
</data>
</webPart>
</webParts>
.... Unless I can solve this I will have to remove the project and recreate but with simple paths. Tho I will be none the wiser if I come across this again.

Authenticated RSS feeds viewer in Sharepoint 2010

Hi All,
I need to create an RSS feed viewer in the sharepoint page from an external site (Service Now) in which authentication is needed. I tried adding the OOTB RSS viewer webpart and found out that in our environment they are not allowing authenticated
RSS feeds. So there is no point of asking for changing the authentication settings also.
Could some one let me know if there is any workaround to include the authenticated RSS feeds viewer in the sharepoint environment. Please let me know if we can achieve the same through any CEWP?
Thanks In Advance
Jithin

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to use RSS feeds in SharePoint 2010.
Please check as the links below:
http://norpoint.wordpress.com/2012/05/14/the-rss-webpart-does-not-support-authenticated-feeds/
http://pravahaminfo.blogspot.in/2011/04/implement-rss-feeds-in-sharepoint.html
We can also try to use Content Query Web Part to achieve it.

Adobe X Bates Stamping and SharePoint 2010

I'm trying to use Adobe X with SharePoint 2010 and Bates Stamp a set of documents stored in a SharePoint library and running into the following issues:
1. It's necessary to manually check out the documents in order to "stamp" them. Is this a known issue -- is there a way to have Adobe automatically check out the documents? I suspect not but thought I'd ask (would be a nice feature to add)
2. Once checked out, Adobe can process the documents. However, even though I tell it to "overwrite" the existing documents and to change the file name to the Bates Stamp sequence, Adobe creates new documents in the same library. The result is that I end up with twice as many documents in the library. Is there a fix for this so that Adobe actually overwrites the existing documents instead of creating copies?
Thanks

Hi, Renew.
Since this question is not related to the CreatePDF service, but rather related to Acrobat, I've moved your question to the Acrobat forum > Creating, Editing and Exporting PDFs.
