• SPQuery Error: Microsoft.SharePoint.SPException was unhandled by user code. Cannot complete this action. Please try again.

  When I get an error, I like to blog about it.  Especially when the error gives you no useful information whatsoever.  Now, you can get the above error in a variety of ways, but the one I am going to discuss today is when using SPQuery. ...

• Error: [COMException (0x80040e14): Exception from HRESULT: 0x80040E14]

  Ah, don’t you love COMExceptions?  Recently, I was adding two new site columns to a list and encountered a whole slew of errors when trying to create new items in the list.  This is the error I got when I was trying to create a custom folder...

• COMException (0x80004005): Cannot complete this action after installing Service Pack 2

  It’s a known fact that MOSS 2007 Service Pack 2 hates me .  Today, I was excited when I upgraded a server to SP2 and the configuration wizard didn’t fail.  I was even more excited to see that my SSP and Central Administration still worked after...

• Issue when querying on a Managed Property of type Decimal

  I’ve been working on putting some stuff together for my talks at SharePoint Saturday Ozarks ( #SPSOzarks ) and ran into this interesting issue.  Now this may just be an isolated incident, but I have discovered a few errors that occur when trying...

• The object was not found. (The item was deleted because it was either not found or the crawler was denied access to it.)

  I’ve seen a few people asking about this in the Crawl Logs and thought I would take a few minutes to address it.  First and foremost this is a warning and not an error message.  Sometimes when you receive this message, it is the crawler behaving...

• Error: This crawl has been paused by the search system while a new query server is added. After the new query server is online, the crawl will be resumed.

  This is kind of a strange error that I sometime receive when trying to startup a crawl in Enterprise Search.  I have only received it on MOSS servers with the Infrastructure Update applied, but it might occur on other versions as well.  The...

• MOSS Setup.exe – The Parameter is Incorrect

  This is kind of a weird issue and I ran into it the last two times I setup a MOSS virtual machine, so I thought I would take a moment to tell about it today.  I am a Windows Server 2008 virtual machine.  This server is a DC and also has SQL...

• ArgumentNullException when calling Enterprise Search Web Service

  Last week, I demonstrated how to call the Enterprise Search web service to get search results to a colleague.  I pointed him to my post on querying a web service and he was able to easily put the code together to call the web service.  However...

• The search service is currently offline. Visit the Services on Server page in SharePoint Central Administration to verify whether the service is enabled. This might also be because an indexer move is in progress.

  There seems to be a huge plague of the following error sweeping through the SharePoint community right now. This occurs when you go to the Search Settings page on your SSP. You will probably notice it before this by a user trying to search and getting...

• Safe Mode did not start successfully. Request failed.

  When every page on your SharePoint server returns an error, more often than not, SharePoint was unable to enter Safe Mode. Safe Mode is the process in which SharePoint goes through to validate that web controls are allowed to be used in SharePoint. If...

• For the love of science please fix your Name ActiveX Control Problem

  I am astonished with how many public facing SharePoint sites are out there without this problem fixed. You know the one I am talking about. The Web site wants to run the following add-on: 'Name ActiveX Control' from 'Microsoft Corporation'...
