SharePoint 2007: Just in case you were contemplating any Sharepoint 2007 item limitations

We were investigating recently massive document libraries and their performance and it seems like limitations do exist, though if you plan correctly you should never reach these limits.

Also a very good planning MS document with recommendations for planning enterprise content storage:

Fantastic 40 - Application Template install problems

I've been trying to get the Fantastic 40 templates to install for a few demos, and have encoutnered the following error:

Feature '' is not installed in this farm, and can not be added to this scope.

In my over excitement to get things working straight away, I ignored the most basic of needs of installing Site Admin templates in the Fantastic 40, i.e. I did not install the Application Core Teamplate. I skipped the installation instructions on the download page and only read the instructions in the readme, and assumed that I should change ApplicationCoreTemplate.wsp to the ApplicationTemplate I was actually installing.

Obviously, when I tried to create the template (Job Requistition and Interview Management) I got the error above. Afer some trouble shooting, I realised my mistake, installed the Application Core Template, and got everything working :)

Infopath 2007 Web enabled forms - Limitations

If you've used Infopath, you know that the greatest limitation that there was with Infopath 2003 was that you HAD to have Infopath installed.

With Sharepoint 2007 this is history. Web-enabled forms are doable (though you need to have SharePoint Enterprise).

Obvisouly a zero footprint client can never have the thick client functionality. This is like comparing OWA to Outlook. Both are relevant in their own scenarios. My opinion for this is the same as for Outlook, keep Infopath within office (or for the more complex forms), and the web-enabled forms for outside of the office. So when developing forms in InfoPath you need to keep in mind whether your forms will be web-enabled or not. For web-enabled forms there are a number of limitations. There is a list available from MS stating the limitations found here.
