Hj,
I want to Sync SharePoint Tasks and Outlook Tasks 2010 but the custom columsn in SP do not exist in outlook. Did anyone have a solution for this stuff. :)
Many thanks.
Feature for users with Outlook 2010, iPhone, and SharePoint 2010 project list/task.
I was able to get SharePoint 2010 list/ task items to show up on the iPhone ios5 reminders.app
Step One- is go to SharePoint 2010 site and Connect to Outlook 2010

Step Two- is check for the linked SharePoint task to be added to users SharePoint List in Outlook
Step Three- is to drag SharePoint List in Outlook Normal task.
Step Four- is the final view of the users outlook account folder hierarchy
Step Five- on the iPhone go to settings.app àexchange mail à turn on Reminders
Step Six- on the iPhone go to reminders.app à swipe left to see second SharePoint list task.
Only problem is the you will notice that the projects under my task doesn’t have the blue two arrows anymore. That’s because it’s not going to talk to SharePoint anymore. When I move it to my mailbox the it got disconnected. If I get it to work I will update you. But who knows may your views can found a fix faster.
Without any third party software you can not do that. But there is a work around:
On SP go to ~'Add Existing Columns' -> Choose ~'Core Task Columns' -> add some columns from there to your list. You can rename added columns as you wish but you can not change their type.
Sync your list with Outlook & create some dummie entries to test it.
Now you can check how Tasks are represented on Outlook. You can find entries in task form. Go to: Show -> Details, Task.
If you want to add a control to your list items such as a dropbox or date, you can do that with Outlook custom forms. But in SP task list column value will be represented as single line of text.
Unfortunatelly you have to give a lot for custom values :)

I'm looking for a way to create version control for word documents.
Simply users will allow or deny incoming changes but all actions will be on a web application so I need to modify documents programmatically. I've found an api for word document but I don't know where to start.

It seems you need to develop a Word add-in which can be run on the web. See Build your first Word task pane add-in for getting started quickly.
My company has an issue with Outlook when it is triggered to open by Excel that causes Outlook to hang indefinitely when loading (an issue which cannot be easily fixed). We have a few workbooks with custom ribbons where we now check that Outlook is open first before allowing the user to send via email. The problem is that this doesn't account for users that still use the File > Save & Send > Send as Attachment.
I would like to know if anybody knows about a process by which I can add on a routine to the existing button that we could save as an Excel Add In on everyone's Excel that checks first if Outlook is open? I have the Outlook check written so I'm just needing help with finding a way to run it.
Any help is appreciated.
Alternatively you could disable Send as Attachment.
I wouldn't know what is important so I won't copy parts here.
How do you disable “Save and send” in Excel 2010 (in the File ribbon (called backstage in Office 2010)?
Disable the Send button in the Office Menu
You may consider repurposing the ribbon controls. See Temporarily Repurpose Commands on the Office Fluent Ribbon for more information.
Unfortunately the Backstage UI doesn't allow to repurpose controls from the XML markup. You may consider hiding the built-in UI and rebuilding it fully with custom commands. Thus, you will be able to handle the commands on your own. You can read more about that in the Introduction to the Office 2010 Backstage View for Developers article. Also see the Customizing the Office 2010 Backstage View for Developers article.
I have created associations between entities in my .Net assembly BCS model. When I load the model into SharePoint and create external lists, I automatically get an External Item Picker control; enabling me to select an item from a list.
This is great because I don't have to program this pick list one way or another...
The problem is whenever I modify the form in InfoPath, the External Item Picker seems to break. When I select an item using the External Item Picker (in the InfoPath form) I get an error message "There has been an error while processing the form". This message is displayed as soon as I select an item and try to leave the field; WITHOUT submitting the form.
Can anyone tell me why the External Item Picker breaks whenever I modify and publish the list form from InfoPath 2010?
It's driving me nuts!
Thanks!
I've ran into the same issue, and found the following answer:
It's a bug from the August cumulative update.

I am in the process of installing the February CU to see if it has the solution.
I need to create alerts to group/all employees in my site.To my site home page basing on the data pushed into "custome list" by administrator in moss 2010 intranet site.So can any one suggest steps to acheive this.Hoping quick replys...
Create a simple workflow using SharePoint designer and send out alerts/notification emails to the users in the group when something happens in your list (like a costume worth more than 100 bucks is entered etc..). You can trigger this notifications workflow in many scenarios.
See this link.
Check out this video on how to create workflows using designer.
Having said that, if you need a pop-up or a message box to appear when a user visits the site (and ofcourse when something changed on your list) then you have to write code in the load event of the page/any web part on the page to display popup. SharePoint 2010 has Javascript API which makes it easy for you to display pop-up or you can do this totally in the code.
Is it possible to display an HTML page in an Office 2003 and/or 2007 task pane via VBA?
Background: We have a complicated configuration file that our users maintain in Word (using a real editor is not an option for our audience).
We would like to create several toolbar buttons that display a basic HTML page in a task pane as a form of online help for our users.
The reason we want to use a task pane to display help (vs. an external browser or traditional help engine) is so that the help content is "embedded" in Word vs. displayed via a seperate application. The problem with using a regular browser or help engine to display help is that users have to manually size and position both applications so that they can see them simultaneously and its very easy to "lose" one application when togging between many applications.
We don't want to go down the route of writing a VisualStudio based task pane component - we want to keep things simple (KISS) and encapsulate everything in an easy to distribute Word template file (.dot or dotx.).
Suggestions?
Yes it is possible, see this blog for detailed steps in creating the custom task pane in Excel 2007.
