That is great functionality there. I'm currently deploying exactly this (Exchange 2007, Outlook 2007, MOSS 2007) - but these lists fail to synchronize with error 302 when the client works with outlook anywhere. Is there a whitepaper or guideline how to configure ISA and MOSS so this works with Clients not inside the LAN or connected through VPN as well?

Great post! I'm a huge fan of the integration between Outlook 2007 and Windows SharePoint Services 3. I believe in getting the word out there helping users better utilize these technologies. Myself, I use videos and audios, as well as text blog posts to provide this type of help. If you get a chance, check them out. I'd love to hear your feedback.

This is a great feature. Is it possible to filter by custome properties in Outlook. For instance, if I have a column 'foo' in my Sharepoint Document Library, can I Connect to Outlook and filter and/or sort by this column?

This doesn't seem to work with SharePoint services 2.0. There is no option to Connect to Outlook under Actions.

Do you have to have an exchange server to complete the sync...?

beautiful feature of adding SharePoint libraries to Outlook. Completely useless without being able to add a file to library from outlook.

Why o why, you didn’t do that? Life will be heaven, if I didn’t have to open SP web interface to add files to it. Ahh well, we will continue to share files on \\machine\share for now.

Can you add inbox items from Outllo to Document library folder onto outllok 2007.

I able to see the existing items in Doc Libray onto the folder in Outlook though.

Thanx

I have connected a MOSS 2007 discussion board list to Outlook 2007 per above

Within MOSS I have configured the list above to have a custom mandatory metadata column called "question type" with following dropdown choices "General Question" or "Quality Issue"

However, in Outlook, when my users click on the discussion board area and then click the "new post" button the form that comes up does not show the required "General Question" field for them to enter data.

Does anyone know how to get custom fields in MOSS to show up when a user clicks "new post" to add an entry to the discussion board?

Thanks for the great tip. I am becoming fan of office products, especially, ability to sync with Sharepoint helps a team to be uptodate all the time.

Have one question though,

I understand that Outlook 2007 allows publishing calendar events to Sharepoint calendar, however, it does not allow populating custom fields.

For e.g. we have a shared calendar on sharepoint site, that takes care of resource reservation. On the calendar there is a field "Resource Name" a choice field. How do I get users select appropriate Resource name on their outlook 2007 screen.

Any help will be really appreciated.

You said: "in future posts we’ll discuss integration with SharePoint Calendars, Discussion Lists, and Contacts."

I am interested in integration between Outlook Business COntacts and SharePoint 2007. Any info on that?

Is there a widget available which allows for some of the features mentioned without upgrading to Outlook 2007? The features we are after are syncing calendars and dragging e-mails from outlook to Sharepoint to be tagged then filed?

How do you preview pages of a linked wiki in Outlook?

In the preview window, it says "The file cannot be previewed because there is no previewer installed". However, the link provided only points to an XPS previewer download.

Can I configure Outlook somehow, so it browses the aspx pages instead of trying to preview them?

Hi,

I have created a Contact list with SharePoint 2007. Along with other details I wanted to have Contact's Image to be updated however the form doesn't provide "Browse" option to user while filling out the form and ask for a URL.

Is there any way we can have "Browse" Option enable so that User's can browse and upload images same time?

Please Suggest.

Regards,

Aryan

I have been testing MOSS 2007 and Office 2007, all of which is very robust.

The one thing I'm trying to get to work and maybe i'm asking TOO much, is that if you create a calender item in SharePoint, and you are using categories in Outlook for your calendar events, is there any way to get SharePoint to "look up" your categories from Outlook so that it's a dropdown list?

If you type the wrong category in SharePOint it "creates" the cateogry in Outlook, which is not always a desirable outcome.

On the other hand, if you create a calendar item in Outlook, it will create the item in Sharepoint, but if you change the category on the Outlook calendar item after it was created by SharePoint, it doesn't get updated in SharePoint, but it will vice versa (SharePoint will update Outlook).

Any way to get Outlook changes pushed to SharePoint for Categories?

thanks

Is it possible to achieve this synchronization using Sharepoint object model code?? i.e. instead of using Actions->Connect to Outlook, can I do it programatically??

I don't want to give user access to Alltems.aspx.

re: SharePoint and Outlook – The Perfect Link

outblog — Tue, 05 Aug 2008 01:52:11 GMT

Lawson: You can configure a SharePoint Sync relationship through the object model, using NameSpace.OpenSharedFolder in the Outlook 2007 COM object model. You'll need to know the stssync:// URL for the library you want to connect with, which you can obtain by synchronizing the library into Outlook once, and reading the URL from the Account Settings dialog.
