Hi, I have a document library where I have a field as 'Status' this field needs to be update based on User Input. I have the idea that urlmapping in web.config will redirect to a customized checkin.aspx (with custom fields added). I am not sure how to achieve updating the custom field in the document library. Another question is, my adding urlmapping in web.config, all document libraries in the specific site/subsite have the custom field showing up in the checkin.aspx, but I want to restrict this only to particular document library, is there a way I can achieve this. Any help on this will be highly appreciated.Vasudev S.

Sorry, for being too elementary on this question. 1) On the code behind of Customized checkin.aspx, I am not able to understand how to access the current item to update with value the "Status", I am not sure whether I am trying at the right place. (I have tried using SPContext.Current.ListItem / SPContext.Current.Item) I am not able to get the current item being checkin to the value of the field. If you can help out with the code piece to access the current files meta data that will be of great help. Vasudev S.

Hello, You can use SPD workflow to update the column value for the 'current' item depending upon the selection made by users in other column. Hope this helps, Regards | Rohan | Sharepoint Technologies | http://sharepoint-administration-eu.blogspot.com/
