Day 1 ?

This is the second day of my blogging. Since I am blogging after a full week, I was wondering
if I should title this as "Day 7" ...... neways.

Finally managed to get sharepoint services running hale and hearty on the win2k3 box. I have
been having too many problems in customizing lists on the damn thing. I wonder why M$
documentation can be so shoddy at times.

Tipe of the day:
While adding a new column in sharepoint if you choose a "Number" column with a calculated value,
then you should enter the formula in the box below that field. Specifically, there is NO field with
the title "Formula". The docs mention a "Formula" field that is not there !!
Yeah, yeah ..... i know, sounds lame.... but I spent a lot of time searching for this stupid field.

As it usually happens with me, I am proven wrong once again !!!
Seems like u hav to click on the "Calculated" radio button, for the magical field called "Formula" to appear.
