Welcome to my blog mainly about SharePoint
It appears the User Profile Database growth issue I posted about previously has been resolved with the February cumulative update for SharePoint 2010. In my previous post, a temporary solution was provided that involved creating a stored procedure and running it on a scheduled basis to clean up the appropriate tables. In reviewing the KB [...]
This morning I received an interesting support ticket. The reported issue was that when clicking a document from SharePoint it would completely freeze the browser and Word.

SharePoint is a platform I am pretty passionate about and I have been doing it for many years. Unfortunately, over the past year my priorities at work have shifted to other projects and my SharePoint interactions have been limited. 2012 is going to have some new challenges and learning experiences for me.

Although the reports were displaying correctly they would appear blank if I attempted to “Customize” them. After spending a few hours scouring the Internet and reading different posts and solutions I was able to piece together a [...]
