Site columns of type "Number" are formatted - aaargh!

gina_gentile@yahoo.com — Wed, 30 Jan 2008 13:42:34 GMT

When I use the Number information type for a new column, I am given the option of how many decimals to include. However, I am not given the option of whether to format the number.

Thus, if I enter a value of 999999, it becomes 999,999 when I exit the field.

This is not desirable! I want the displayed value to be 999999.

Is there a way I can turn off the formatting for a number type column?

Site columns of type "Lookup"

gina_gentile@yahoo.com — Wed, 30 Jan 2008 12:33:34 GMT

I have created a List called Change Requests. I created a number type column called Record# in that list.

I have a document library that also needs to include the Record#. The Record# is created in the Change Requests list, so I thought I would create a column called Ref in this Document Library that looks up the values in the Record# column of MyList.

While creating the document library Ref column, I chose the information type of Lookup. In the Additional Column Settings block, I selected the Change Requests list in the "Get information from:" drop down list. The problem is, when I next browse the "In this column:" drop down list, The Record# column is not displayed, so I can't select it.

What is the secret for getting a site column that I create to appear in the column drop down list for a lookup column?

Search Folder Location

mjwidmer — Wed, 22 Aug 2007 13:46:32 GMT

Does anyone know if there is a property that can be crawled in order to pull back the URL for the parent folder of a document in a SharePoint document library? I’ve been trying to find this for the past few days, but I’ve been running into a lot of dead ends. I want to stay away from parsing the document URL to get the folder path, because this won't work for search results that don't have an associated IFilter.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Searching Internet

abbiewatters — Fri, 06 Jul 2007 19:58:05 GMT

Has anyone here come across a way to add a search scope for say search.live.com to the enterprise search tab. Now clearly the goal is not to index the Internet, but rather have that as a choice, in mush the same way as one might search All Sites, This Site, People, etc...

before i go re-inventing the wheel, perhpas someone already is onto it and can point to a hands on lab or something...

TIA

WSS V3 Search Help

I'm unable to search sites for Lookup and calculated list column data, but I can search and find any other list column type. Does WSS support Lookup and Calculated column types? If not, is there a work around to enable this?
