Watch out for the IE 10 Launch

Release of a preview of IE10 on Windows 7 in mid-November, with final availability to follow as we collect developer and customer feedback.

IE10 on Windows 7 has the same standards based platform for developers to target as IE10 on Windows 8. We built an entirely new browser with Windows 8, with more performance and developer capabilities. IE10 brings improved real-world site performance and additional standards support to Windows 7 that Web developers have been asking for.

Pinning gives your site a front row seat.

Some options are hidden when publishing to SharePoint Portal Server 2003: Infopath 2010

Issue:

In InfoPath 2010, when adding a form field to be available as a column on the SharePoint form library (File >> Advanced Form Options >> Property Promotion >> Add), the option to make the field editable from the library is missing.

Instead of a checkbox with the message “Allow users to edit data in this field by using a datasheet or properties page”, there is a message “Some options are hidden when publishing to SharePoint Portal Server 2003.”

 

Resolution:
The solution is pretty simple. Re-publish the form (File >> Publish >> SharePoint Server (Publish form to a SharePoint library). Do not use Quick Publish!).  As you go through the Publishing wizard, keep the selections the same to update your published file. The fourth screen will look identical to the Property Promotion dialog, but when you click Add (or Modify), the option to “Allow users to edit data in this field by using a datasheet or properties page” will be there.

Voting buttons are not visible in Outlook when you open a SharePoint alert notification that is forwarded


Problem Description:
In Microsoft Outlook, when you double-click to open a Microsoft SharePoint alert notification that is forwarded to you, voting buttons that the sender added may not be visible.

Error Message:
Vote by clicking in the Respond group above. However, no Respond group is available.

Probable Cause:
The Share Ribbon tab on the message that is opened contains custom SharePoint buttons, such as the Connect to this Document Library button and the Preview this Document Library button. The original Message tab, where the Vote drop-down button typically appears, is not available.

Resolution:
Use the Reading Pane to access the voting options. To enable the Reading Pane, follow these steps:

·         In the main Outlook window, click the View Ribbon tab. 
·         Click the Reading Pane button, and then click either Right or Bottom . 
·         Click one time on the message that was forwarded to display the message in the Reading Pane. In the message header area of the Reading Pane, click Click here to vote to make a voting selection.

Then, click OK . 
6.    Browse to the document library that you opened in step 1. 
7.    Make a change to the document library, such as deleting a document or uploading a document. 
8.    In Outlook 2010, select the message that explains the change that you made in step 7.
9.    Click Forward. 
10. In the forward message window, click Options, click Use Voting Buttons , and then click Approve; Reject .
