Access vs InfoPath etc

·         Use SharePoint lists for simple applications with not toooo many columns

·         Use InfoPath web forms if you’re creating a lot of columns of the type ‘Multiple Lines’…

·         Use Excel Web Apps, if you’re licensed, if you are trying to make a list behave just like a spreadsheet. You know you’re going to need Freeze Panes at some point…

·         Use Access Services if you’re creating a lot of columns, need more functions to calculate, more queries to filter and more items to view than a list can possibly handle… and you’re on a budget that excludes more expensive alternatives

thanks to Sharon Richardson for this - only put it on here for my own reference

useful ps1 for iterating stsadm

[System.Reflection.Assembly]::Load(“Microsoft.SharePoint, Version=12.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c”)

$WA = "http://moss.litwareinc.com"

$webapp = [Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration.SPWebApplication]::Lookup("$WA")

foreach($site in $webapp.sites)

{

$url = $site.url

write-host $url

stsadm.exe -o gl-propagatecontenttype -url $url -contenttype Document >C:\output.txt 2>&1

}

STSADM can't find site URL

Apostrophes don’t show in site URLs:

e.g.

/sites/COO/Customer Services/Property, Change, Customer Op's – shows in browser

/sites/COO/Customer Services/Property, Change, Customer Ops – works in STSADM and shows in Enunumallwebs

SQL Connection string

Example:

Server=;Database=;User Id=;Password=;
