Approval workflow

[Mykhailo Pysarskyi]

Hi, all. I have such problem: I need a workflow, which solves the following tasks: Approval workflow (such as default in MOSS 2007) + a possibility to send email messages to participants of Approval workflow when document, on which approval workflow was started, is modified. For such a distribution has written a workflow, which is triggered by changes in the document and the code is running check whether the approval process started. But bad luck, if the document library includes support check out \ check in, then we have the following troubles - SharePoint commits a change to the list item both in check out and check in. As a result we have two changes and my email-workflow starts twice. As a result, one that very moment, we obtain immediately two letters to change the document in mailbox. How can I solve such problem? May already exists a approval workflow, which makes this newsletter. Thanks in advance.

Can you list the tasks that you see in SharePoint Designer? The email task should be upon check in only I presume?

Regardless you need to initiate the email once it's approved. try downloading SPD it's free it has a simple Workflow Designer that allows you to add tasks on actions. I would send the email on the approval action. I hope that helps.
