Hi Team, While uploading a document in WSS 3.0, We are getting the below error message.But the file is getting uploaded successfully. "Failed to get value of the "Approval Status" column from the "Moderation Status" field type control. See details in log. Exception message: Input string was not in a correct format.." Request you to help on this. Thanks, Sankar Ganesh K

Does the list have any customizations/event handlers ? Also, does the name of the document being uploaded have any special characters ?

No special characters for uploaded documents.

Thanks We havent used special character in filename. In document library we can upload file in someother links without error. but this happen at only one link. While clicking Check in we are getting above error. Thanks Sankar Ganesh k

Does the library have any customizations on it? Any event handlers? Also, check if the doucment uploads correctly to a different document library.

Hi neville. This problem happends very recently. previously it was working fine. evetlog we have for this problem. We have a approval option for uploaded Document. Regards Sankar Ganesh

Hi Event log we are getting the below error. "The Descr#50071: Unable to connect the dataqbase <db_Name> on <seraver name>. check the database connection oinformation and make sure that database server is running.". The sametime we can upload the file. anyone can help me for this issue, I don't believe it's a database issue if not the file would not have uploaded. Recommend you look at the ULS logs. The ULS logs can be found in the 12 hive (<Drive>\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12\LOGS). Once you navigate to this folder, order by date modified to see the latest log file. Then reproduce the error and note the time the error message was displayed. Open the latest log file (assuming you do this in quick succession) and try to find the error message that was displayed. Post the lines before and after that error message here or you could use your favourite search engine to find out what's happenning with those errors.

Hi Neville Pinto We simulated the same error. But we could not find those errors in the log file as you mentioned. We already did lot of search regading this issue. we could not found any better and suitable solution for this issue. Since its a Microsoft Product. Let me know who can provide me the better solution. Regards Ganesh

Can you share your Environment Details. Have you applied Service Pack 2 for WSS 3.0? Thanks & Regards, Kamlesh | Blog | Twitter | Posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights.

Hi kamalesh Yes. we windows 2003 have service pack 2 for wss3.0. Regards Sankar Ganesh

I am assuming that this error is not a Show Stopper for you, but you are still concerned about the Error Message that is being written in your LOG file. Are you using the Windows Internal Database or have a seperate SQL Server? I notice that your log has ""The Descr#50071: Unable to connect the dataqbase <db_Name> on <seraver name>. check ". Whats the timestamp of the above error message? Does the timestamp matches your File Upload activity? Try further experimenting your Log reviews with SharePoint ULS Log Viewer.Thanks & Regards, Kamlesh | Blog | Twitter | Posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights.

Hi separte SQL server it available in the same Sharepoint server. Now we could not seen any logs for this application. But we are getting the same error "Failed to get value of the "Approval Status" column from the "Moderation Status" field type control. See details in log. Exception message: Input string was not in a correct format.." After performing Check in. Steps i mentioned below 1. Choose a file to upload 2. Upload 3. Given Title and description 4. Clicked Check IN. after check in am getting the above error as i mentioned.

It appears that the error is of a complex nature and since the root cause is not known I recommend you make use of Microsoft's Problem Resolution Services. Details available here: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?id=fh;en-us;offerprophone#faq607.

Hi Any one can help me to resolve this issue. Regards Sankar
