I;m trying to sync my Blackberry with Outlook so it updates emails, contacts, etc, automatically when I;m out

I'm so confused! I'm reading about all of these things like Microsoft exchange server, Microsoft sharepoint, buying licenses, using 1and1.com, etc., and I have no idea how to use my Blackberry while I am out of the home office so that when I update a contact or my calendar, it syncs with my Outlook at home so I have one central database that my assistant can access as well. Please help! Can anyone explain what I need to do to make this work without spending $1,000 on a license? Thanks!

Web site naming

I am web designer for a large financial corporation. I am looking for some ideas for a name for our web designers' MS Sharepoint community site we have established. This site is basically a centralized place to where our group of designers can discuss issues relating to design, view web patterns/standards, access designer resources, view design community calendar events, etc. I have come up with a few names, but was wondering if any of you might have some ideas to share.

How do I use Outlook 2007 collaboratively to share tasks, notes, calendars, etc. amongst multiple people

I just got Office 2007 Ultimate, thrilled that it would allow for collaboration. But I cannot figure out the best way to create shared folders for tasks, notes, calendars, etc. I read about SharePoint, but that looks like it requires additional, expensive server software. Then I set up MS Groove which seems great, but I've found no clear way to integrate it with Outlook. Do I have to switch over to Groove's clunky interface in order to access such shared items? Or is there some way to create folders in Outlook which are set up to be shared via Groove? Or is there some other way to collaborate in Outlook 2007 which I'm just missing? Help!

Why are sharepoint calendars read only in Outlook

We use a hosted Exchange service with SharePoint. I've created a shared calendar, linked it to outlook, where it shows up, however, it is strictly read only. Seems kind of pointless.

Are Sharepoint Calendar Restrictions Possible

At my company we are getting access to a Sharepoint server, and I was wondering if using the Sharepoint Calendar, if its possible to say, create/restrict 10 groups of 100 people total, so those in the same group could not take vacation days overlapping one another?

My only guess is if I were to create a custom database for this, using Sharepoint Designer, is that correct? Hmm.

I just want to know if its possible before I start putting more research into this. If you can confirm this by stating a fact or providing a link, that will suffice for best answer!

Thanks ;)

How to get out of Web Design/Development NOW

Hello Yahoo

I am in need of some advice on how to change jobs/careers out of web site design/development. I have had various temp contract jobs over the past 3 yrs and I am tired of the job security.

It seems to me that in 2007-08, with all this cheesy myspace, youtube, and user generated content, web design is a very broad term, and amateur designers with no background are using the web for crap, and on the other side their is too many languages to learn, and each back-end web project is various(php or asp.net, or joomla, or vb or c# with ruby or j2ee with sharepoint);

And alot of jobs now are very basic, (like sending out a email newsletter ) 20hrs/part time, or designer/SEO, or back end asp.net programming on some stupid intranet that gets updated every 6 months, its not even worth being a full-time employee in my opinion.

All in all, I want to know, is this type of work worth a FULL_TIME DAY job, or is it worth part-time, contract, remote projects from home?

I am sick & tired of looking for web development day jobs (and every single one has a different technical skillset; huge headache, some have a small scope (like xhtml/css markup and posting pdfs),& some have a unrealistic scope,like 5 yrs AJAX/ and GIS mapping with SQL server and high end graphics)

And moreover, how can you transfer into another line of work, when all your skills are technical/web-related? I have had a nightmare time trying to go into other fields (like sales, or finance or even customer service??

I am going insane with this, am I the only one???

Need serious professional advice. Any thoughts

Microsoft Office 2003/2007

was wonder can you run Microsoft Office 2003 in Windows Vista or do you have to upgrade to Office 2007?? The main reason I ask is I use FrontPage where I built and maintain a website and Windows decided to stop building it and replaced it with SharePoint Designer and Expression Web. I'm not currently hooked up with SharePoint (have no desire to since I maintain my own website myself) so can't use SharePoint Designer and Expression Web is too basic for the likes of me... I have used Macromedia/Adobe Dreamweaver before but find FrontPage to be a better fit for my needs. Anyways has anyone seen the new Office 2007, their new design looks a bit stupid and more complexed especially with a ribbon replacing taskbars.

What is the best way to organize an Operations Manual for a large enterprise

We have manuals for each of our departments (it's a large construction company) for how we do business. Estimating, Project Management, General Administration, IT, etc. etc. We are exploring Wiki's, Sharepoint, etc. And just need an efficient and effective way to:

1) Manage Change (i.e. making it super easy to update these documents);

2) ensuring QA/QC around the Changes;

3) Making it easy to search and find relevant information;

4) Making it easy to access, read (i.e. a global tree or index) and potentially print (although this is diminishing) the documents);

Right now all the documents are in separate word or PDF files in a basic sharepoint implementation.

Any assistance or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

What email client and/or groupware do you use at your company

If you have time, can you please also read below...

If you know, can you please tell additional info like pros and cons? =)

Because aside from basic email, calendar, address book features etc, we NEED to be able to do things such as:

a. create/program electronic forms

b. route documents among different people (for approval etc)

c. repository of documents (possibly limiting access to certain people) or company-wide reports

d. ...etc etc

These are possible in Lotus Notes, right? We're also looking for other alternatives. How about Microsoft Outlook? Can we do the things I listed above? Like create simple programs for e-forms and routing? Haven't actually tried Office 2007 but I heard it already has very good collaboration tools (Grove? SharePoint? Can these programs do the above?). How about any good open source solutions?

Your help would be greatly appreciated! =) Thank very much!!

SharePoint Usage Reports

We’re using SharePoint as a document management solution on our corporate portal. I have tried understating what’s going on inside in terms of usage reporting… and I have found out that the SharePoint server is simply not collecting the required usage data… even if I use some log analyzers… the data is simply not there for me to crunch… can a sharepoint server be configured to collect more usage data? Anyone knows about this issue?

Infopath Forms Server / Office Sharepoint Server 2007 Problem

I have upgraded my sharepoint services 3.0 to the full blown office sharepoint server 2007 with the single goal of using browser-based InfoPath forms.

The upgrade seemed to go fine and sharepoint is running just fine but the forms services are no where to be found.

From what I have readI should have some config options for forms services under Central Administration > Application Management but, there is nothing.

I'm thinking that the forms server feature never got installed? I'm not sure how that is possible but I am missing something for sure.

Please help!

You will need some server-side coding to do that. Someone with Developer rights to your SP environment and can develop in ASP .NET can help you, or you can use one of the free online services.
