In this screencast, Laura Rogers demonstrates a way to open a SharePoint list in Access, along with the UserInfo table from the site.

I was able to use SPD and not write a single line of JavaScript to automatically set a SharePoint Form Field based upon a Query String Variable.

In a few of my previous blog posts I have used JavaScript to set SharePoint form fields in NewForm.aspx. Using JavaScript to set these fields comes in really handy whether you are setting fields based upon query string variables (see previous posts) or setting a field to some other value.

Well, by far my most popular blog post has been about creating a Parent / Child relationship in SharePoint Designer and one question keeps getting asked over and over again: “How do I pass multiple values to the new item screen for the Child?” So, I thought it was about time I actually told you how.

Or what if you just want to drop a Twitter search into any old SharePoint page, rather than a full Results page? And more critical – what if you don’t have direct access to the SharePoint server in order to install binary web part and feature – with or without a Solution Package (WSP)?

Power Users often request the ability to pre-populate form fields. The most straight-forward approach involves passing form field values in the URL as a query string. A while ago, the SharePoint Designer bloggers posted a solution with POJ (plain old JavaScript). Since I’m on a roll, I figured it was time to update this script with some jQuery goodness.
