SharePoint 2010 Lookup Column in Document Information Panel

So came across a scenario this week where I needed to display a lookup column from a SharePoint 2010 document library in the Document Information Panel in Word and allow access to the object via Quick Parts and not Custom Document Properties.  I created the columns and associated them with the SharePoint List/Content Types and they were available in the DIP.  Easy enough.

Multiple Login Prompts when Logging into SharePoint from Vista or Windows 7

I have finally been able to put this issue at rest. It is actually a rather simple fix. On the client machine the MOSS url needs to be added to local intranet security settings in IE.

The issue occurs because of the way Vista and 7 handle… Read More »Multiple Login Prompts when Logging into SharePoint from Vista or Windows 7
