Hi, I am sorry but i never did get this resolved. From my extra research it seems the best way forward is to get the URL encoded (using something along the lines of URLEncode in C#) before putting it into the email, this would probably need to be a custom action built into a SharePoint Designer Workflow. However i have never taken the time to create the custom action. If you happen to do this custom action and you feel like sharing it would be greatfully received. Sorry i couldn't be of any further assistance. Cheers, Luke

Hi, I have got a couple of SharePoint Designer Workflows workflows in place that have links in them. However these links are dynamic and are partly made up by values pulled from the item (i.e. a filename). The problem i have is the links miss out the first space in a value that is pulled in from SharePoint, for example if i put the value Customer ABC Limited into the link, it would become CustomerABC Limited and therefore cause the link to be incorrect as the space between Customer and ABC has been removed. Can anyone help me work out how to correct this? Many Thanks in advance

Hi hellboy_83, I have never actually setup ISS SMTP but i have been installations where this has been setup. As long as the IIS SMTP server is configured correctly (i.e. pointed to your hMailServer) this should be ok to be used as the SMTP server in WSS. Cheers, LDay86

Hi, I am pretty new to developing in InfoPath and SharePoint. I have the requirement to extract repeating table data from an InfoPath form using web part (written in C#). I have been looking into how I might go about doing this but I don't seem to have come up with a solution. I have tried getting the document as an XML document but it will not let me open it in the web part and claims I don't have the correct permissions, even though i have full permissions across the whole site (including on the document library) Could anyone point me in the right direction or offer any advice? Many thanks in advance, Luke

It shouldn't matter where you set your SMTP server up (but make sure it will handle outgoing mails!). If you have the SMTP setup on Server B then you set the outgoing mail SMTP server in Central Services to Server A. Something else to note is the email address that SharePoint emails are to be sent from. SharePoint will fail to send an email out (even if the SMTP settings are correct) if the outgoing email address is not a real email address. One final thing to not is, when you set the settings for outgoing mail it does not always update individual web application settings. These can be checked in Central Services too (i believe under the Applications tab). check you settings have filtered throgh. If you are still stuck, please let me know what server your SMTP Server is on and post a screenshot of your current settings in Central Admin and i will try and help further. I hope this helps

Hi, I am trying to use a user field ("People picker field") in a SharePoint web part but it will not render. Can anyone point me in the direction of how to use a "People Field" in a c# web part? Cheers

Hi, I am creating a web part for Microsoft SharePoint and i need to add two controls, a userfield (to allow a user to be selected) and a date picker field. So far i have the following code:

protected override void CreateChildControls()
{
btnSubmit = new Button();
btnSubmit.Text = "Add to list";
btnSubmit.Click += new EventHandler(btnSubmit_Click);
Controls.Add(btnSubmit);

        txtTitle = new TextBox();
        Controls.Add(txtTitle);

        dateDueDate = new DateTimeControl();
        Controls.Add(dateDueDate);

        userAssignedTo = new UserField();
        Controls.Add(userAssignedTo);

        base.CreateChildControls();
    }


    protected override void RenderContents(HtmlTextWriter writer)
    {
        //RENDER CONTENTS
        btnSubmit.RenderControl(writer);
        writer.Write("<br />");
        txtTitle.RenderControl(writer);
        writer.Write("<br />");
        dateDueDate.RenderControl(writer);
        writer.Write("<br />");
        userAssignedTo.RenderControl(writer);
        writer.Write("<br /><br />");

However, the UserField and DateTimecontrol are causing the web part not to render. I am not sure if i am using the correct field types or adding them correctly. Any help would be great, Thanks in advance
