There are many occasions where you might like to do some validation on NewForm.aspx and/or EditForm.aspx in SharePoint beyond the simple column by column validation which the form provides automagically. For instance, if you have two dates, you might want to ensure that the second is after the first, or you may want the entry…
In an article posted last week, the SharePoint team gave some more specifics on what we should expect for SharePoint 2010. (Why do I keep accidentally typing 90210?) According to the Microsoft SharePoint Team Blog (and who would know better), SharePoint 2010 will require 64-bit Windows Server 2008 and 64-bit SQL Server. Also, Internet Explorer…
(A la Capital One: “What’s in YOUR wallet?” No, that’s not a plug.) I thought I’d do an up-to-date share of a few tools that I’ve been using lately that I can’t live without; the things that I give icon space to on my Vista desktop. GIMP – Think of GIMP as a free version…
I’ve just gotten pretty used to my Kindle 2, and Amazon goes and comes out with something better, the Kindle DX. I should expect these things, but still, it’s irksome. I got the news over at Blog Kindle, which is a nice blog to watch if you are Kindle crazy. There are even some Kindle…

I’ve been using Word 2007 since it was released, but somehow I’ve not needed to do any real graphical work in it until now. I was getting frustrated trying to figure out how to add multiple graphical objects into my Word document until I found something which talked about adding a Drawing Canvas. To do…
Ever since I upgraded from IE7 to IE8 (first to the beta, then to the released version), I’ve seen that my cookies seem to disappear from time to time. This is evidenced by the fact that I need to log in again to such innocuous sites as my.yahoo.com. I’ve finally figured out that this seems…
In an earlier post, I wrote about Eliminating Duplicates in Data View Web Parts. I just got a question on that post about how to create the dropdown in the first place, and it seemed post-worthy. Generally, you’ll want to create a separate DVWP containing a dropdown and use it to trigger the display of…
I’ve been spending quite a bit of time over on the SharePoint – Design and Customization forum at MSDN trying to provide answers to some of the questions there. Based on many of the questions that I’ve seen, my favorite Data View Web Part (DVWP) continues to be underused, even given its tremendous potential. Something…
