I'm running more SharePoint training days for partners. The purpose of the day is to give a high-level overview of the capabilities and value of SharePoint solutions. The training is not at all technical but should give business persons an understanding...

Continuing my introduction series, this demo shows InfoPath working with SharePoint workflows. Data entered

This very brief video is intended to give a glimpse at the sort of problems InfoPath could solve using features such as browser-enabled forms, conditional formating, data connections, data validation and so on.

This continues my series of introductory demos to InfoPath 2007. In this demo, I discuss the benefits of views and how to associate views to user roles.

SharePoint is a huge product that can do such a wide range of things. Often, the hardest thing about SharePoint is knowing where to start when explaining what it does. So here's a bit of humour born of the idea that SharePoint is the answer to a wide...

SharePoint is a very big product. I’d even go so far as to say huge. It has a wide range of capabilities in a variety of areas. This is a very good thing in terms of what you get for your money. It’s a very bad thing when you’re trying to get your head...

Due to the high attendance and positive feedback for my first SharePoint training days, I will be running a third on 16th April in Microsoft's London offices. This is a free event for Microsoft partners. https://training.partner.microsoft.com/plc/search_adv...

Continuing my series of InfoPath demos. This video shows how quick and easy it is to create an InfoPath form with rich functionality - without needing to use code. This is not a guide on how you should build forms, but an example of what can be done...

I will be running two SharePoint training sessions for partners during March on the 18th and the 30th at the UK campus in Reading. These will be introductory and overview sessions intended to cover the whole of the SharePoint platform and give a good...

I am going to be running training on InfoPath at Microsoft's UK Campus in Reading. This course is called Business Benefits of using InfoPath in Forms Development. The training is aimed at partners and intended to give a detailed overview of the business...

I had a conversation with a partner who wanted to implement forms in SharePoint (actually, he was wondering about using SharePoint’s survey features but came to the conclusion that Forms Services was better suited to the task). The difficulty was that...

The best way to explain why I love InfoPath and InfoPath Forms Services is to explain why I hate other incarnations of forms. When I was a student, I spent the summer holidays doing temp jobs so that I had money for the rest of the year. Temp jobs...

I like browsing gadget shops. I enjoy looking round at shelves filled with shiny things, usually with flashing lights or fun noises. Everything is fun and techy and sparkly. The thing is, I can’t think of anything I’ve ever bought from those shops...

When I'm asked a question by a partner and feel that the answer is likely to benefit more people, I shall write a blog post about it. The question in this case was regarding checking out documents from a SharePoint document library and editing documents...
