Powerful Command Line Administration for SharePoint

Method 'Post' of object 'IOWSPostData' failed

Importing lists from Excel 2007 returns a Method 'Post' of object 'IOWSPostData' failed dialog. Again, not really a problem with WSS 3.0 but rather the result of a failed Application.SharePointVersion() call in the Excel Add-In which results in Excel attempting to use the IOWSPostData.Post() method to publish the Excel range which is used with SharePoint Team Services 1.0. By forcing the version lookup result variable to 2 or greater, Excel will use SOAP to communicate with WSS 3.0 and the publish request will be successful. To make this change, open the Excel Add-In EXPTOOWS.XLA locate in C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12\1033 by default. Press Alt+F11 to display the Visual Basic code editor and search (Ctrl+F) for the line lVer = Application.SharePointVersion(URL). Comment out that line with a single quote and add the line lVer=2 so your Intialize() method should now look like this:

Sub Initialize(List, Title, URL, QuickLaunch)

strQuickLaunch = QuickLaunch

aTarget(iPublishURL) = URL

aTarget(iPublishListName) = List

aTarget(iPublishListDesc) = Title

'lVer = Application.SharePointVersion(URL)

lVer = 2

End Sub

New Application Templates for Windows SharePoint Services 3.0

Lots of template goodies for all to enjoy!

As my wife is a teacher, I especially liked the Classroom Management template. One thing to keep in mind when you get ready to install these is that you must first install the Application Template Core. It can be found here...

There is of course much more and certainly more to come but this will give you a jump start into the issue. I am not endorsing any particular viewpoint but I am paying close attention to see how this one plays out.

The Talpiot Tomb

In order to comply with Dr. Ben Witherington's wishes I have revamped this blog to reflect the needed information to justify his time in the form of a response. So I once again pose my initial question, "Of course the general public may not be aware of what may be an old argument among scholars. However, what I don't understand is the frantic tantrum being thrown by the academy over this issue. Professionalism and basic manners? No one is attacking anyone's faith. I simply don't 'get' why everyone is so up in arms. Can you give me an insight into this mindset Dr. Witherington?"

Since my original posting of that question I think it is safe to say that many academics have taken their reactions to a level that could be clearly labeled unprofessional.

My puzzlement is not the behavior itself but why THIS issue, what is it about the Talpiot Tomb?
