My company is about to deploy a new MOSS 2007 portal and one of the requirements is the ability to require users to add some meta data to everything that is posted to the site. For example if someone creates a doc library/list and uploads docs or adds list items to it they are required to add this data (3 fields) to each doc or list item. We need to modify the web parts so that they contain these fields so that when our users add web parts to their pages they already contain these fields. I know you can do this, but I can not find any info in the books I have on technically how to do this. Was hoping someone out there would be able to let me know how to do this. One thing I'm not sure about is the content editor web part, how can you add addition fields to it? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

I think what you want to do is add required columns to your lists and libraries and then create views that contain those columns. You don't add columns to web parts. (Of course a developer will now come along and describe some code that will do this. But code is not my thing.)Imagine what we could be...If we could just imagine. Daniel A. Galant
