We have recently moved our shrepoint WSS 3.0 site to a new server running WSS3.0 on Server 2008 R2. Since the migration everything is as it was and working ok execpt we are now unable to upload word .doc files to the site. When we try to attach a .doc file we get : Error - Exception occurred. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80020009 (DISP_E_EXCEPTION)) Other file types ie .pdf .ptxt etc can be uploaded ok but .doc fails. I have checked blocked file types in Central administration but .doc isn't listed. Any ideas. Thanks in advance James

We have near the identical situation with WSS3.0 MOSS2007 on Win2003 Where-as a SharePoint site administrator wants to change the filename of a file that was submitted incorrectly. In most cases, she can do that fine. Occasionally, she gets the following error suggesting that the file is still checked-out or locked by the owner. SharePoint is suppose to allow the admin to override check-outs or to discard check-outs, but it is not doing it in this case. The Stack Trace we get is near identical to what you've posted save for the ComException. This has been an extablished system without this error for quite some time, but has only recently been displayed. Our work-around has been for the person to call the user that has the file open and have them close it. This is a band-aid at this moment. I'm hoping to see this as a new issue and that there will be or is some MS focus on the issue. -Steve

We have the same problem on a Sharepoint site in our production environment. The only "fix" we have managed to find is to either make the user only save files as docx when saving them to sharepoint, or to diasable property promotion/demotion on the spweb object on that site. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa979617%28office.12%29.aspx

Thank you i tried disable property promotion/demotion and the problem resolved as follows: run this code in the sharepoint server. note:you shoud add the site url that has the document library problem. using (SPSite spSite = new SPSite(tbSiteURL.Text)) { spSite.RootWeb.ParserEnabled = false; spSite.RootWeb.Update(); using (SPWeb spWeb = spSite.OpenWeb()) { spWeb.ParserEnabled = false; spWeb.Update(); MessageBox.Show(spWeb.ParserEnabled.ToString()); } } Mostafa Abdellah
