Do you guys have an idea of when will SP2 be released, since SP1 came out not long ago?

I've lost so much time as a result of this (and now my list is broken).  Any expidited fix would be greatly appreciated and way to repair existing customized forms (or reset back to default).

thanks

My problem is related, but not exactly the same.  With WSS 3 I'm accustomed to being able to quickly create a List "New Item Form" page in SPD, by creating a web part page and then using the Data Source Web Part to insert the selected Fields as "New Item Form".  When I do this with our MOSS site, after detaching the page layout on the page, I get "Error Creating Control - ff4_new  Object reference not set to an instance of an object".  I deleted and recreated lists and pages with the same result.  Some of the site default lists work fine on the page, but other give the same error.  Any ideas?

Hi, i have problem with this workaround.

I have custom list form with 2 fields : title and toBeHidden. when i make addform and in this form delete toBehidden field, everything is ok and works fine. But when i do this in edit form, this workaround stops work. When i have toBeHiddenfield in edit form, workaround works, when i delete toBeHidden field, workaround doesn't work.

I debuged SPDataSourceEx and found, that function ExecuteUpdate is not started when i delete toBeHidden field. but is not possible found why, because this function is called from external code.

do you know solution ?

thank for advice

Any update on a (possible) time frame for SP2? This issue should have been addressed months ago.

Anyone knows why SPDataSourceEx doesn´t work in Edit Mode if the webpart is into a WebPartZone?  I need the webpart to be into a webpartzone otherwise audience doesn´t work. Any solution?

Can you tell me where the MSDN documentation for this fix is located?

I believe this has been resolved with a hotfix - I'm about to try it...

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/953271

hotfix worked for me, no need to go to the effort of following marc's workaround.

We are on MOSS 2007 - with SP2.  I have just run into the error of not being able to add an attachment to a customized NewForm.aspx.  Is there a fix for this?  I have tried to install the hotfix mentioned above, but it says that my version was "not the version expected" - assuming we are further along than what it's looking for.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  thanks.

Not sure what happened but for me the problem is still not fixed.

On the server side we have WSS 3.0 + SP2 + April Cumulative Update (KB 968850)

On the client side we have SharePoint Designer 2007 + SP2.

The code in question is still missing from the rendered pages even on newly created custom forms.

Anything we miss or is this bug still not fiexed after such a long time?

We tried to apply the SPD hotfix which was released for this issue (KB 960311) but it requires SPD SP1 and not SP2.

To simplysql and grubi:  I also had the same issue; SP2 installed for WSS, MOSS and Designer.  I still had the same error even with a clean new custom form. I made sure to keep the original web part in place and hid it.  Generated the new custom form code, but still got the attachment error.  Then I reread the hot fix posting a little more closely.  I had hidden the form, but not closed it.  On my test list, I closed the form and the attachment started working.  

Closing the web part eliminated a conflict between the two web parts on the page.  

Remember not to delete the original web part or you will have serious issues.

How does this apply to Data View forms? I'm using a Data View for New Item and Edit Form and am struggling to find any way of managing attachments. Are attachments disabled in Data View?

I am likely confused, having just realized that the Custom List Form is in fact a Data View. Does this mean that attachments only works on the default NewForm.aspx and EditForm.aspx pages if the List Form web part is hidden and closed and a Custom List Form inserted? Is there no way of making attachments work on a standalone aspx page created from scratch?

I have SP2 on SPD. My NETOPS says the server has SP2 for Sharepoint. I design my NewForm.aspx using the code posted. I am still geting "Error Rendering Control - Unnamed3" in SPD and get "The data source control failed to execute the insert command. " when trying to upload a document.

Suggestions?

@Earl B

Same here! I'm starting too lose all my hair on this one... and it wasn't much already!!!

Does anyone please has a solution ?!? Many thanks in advance.

I installed KB960311 hot fix, attachments works fine in my customized EditForm.aspx, the problem is that after I choose the file to be attached and press OK button, it doesn't go back to Edit View. But if i press cancel, you can see that the attachment is saved.

any suggestions?
