Gary Lapointe has some stsadm extensions that interact with the content deployment feature. You can see some details here: http://stsadm.blogspot.com/2007/09/importexportcopy-lists.html You could also write a custom SP Designer action or implement an action that supports calling a web service, moving the logic there. You could also write an event handler that that triggers the move, but I would probably go with a SPD workflow to help with automation before taking that on.SharePoint MVP | Developer | Administrator | Speaker-- Twitter -- Blog - http://nextconnect.blogspot.com

Thanks MikeWillhttp://stsadm.blogspot.com/2007/09/importexportcopy-lists.htmlwork across sites?e.g from Site A to Site B on another server

I don't have any experience with the Content Deployment, but it is for moving content between sites and farms. Think about writing articles on one server and then publishing it for consumption somewhere else. Here is a full run down on the Content Deployment Features. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc263428.aspx I need to read up on them myself as I'm not as familiar with the details as I would like.

Hi Mike, I have just spend some hours trying to use garys stsadm cmd herehttp://stsadm.blogspot.com/2007/08/stsadm-commands_09.htmlI have a list on a Subsite A that i need to export.(http://myserver:4040/sites/Test/Misc/Lists/SC/AllItem.aspx)And then import it to another subsite B .(http://myserver2:4040/sites/CCC/Misc/Lists/SC/AllItem.aspx)I did create the subsite MISC intentionally on site subsite B so that the URL could be the sameBut i have some questionns regarding the command:I used C:\>stsadm -o gl-exportlistbut i noticed in the log file it also did export all other lists and documents lib under the MISC Subsite A:(.So when i do stsadm –o gl-importlistit cmd stops and complain that those lists and document libs don't exist in SUBSITE B which is true.Later i tried using C:\>stsadm -o gl-exportlistitem andC:\>stsadm -o gl-importlistitemBut it did the same.How can i just export all items in a specific list.THanks in Advance

I'm not sure, you might need to follow up with Gary. If you specified the list view then it should only export those items. I'm not sure why the other content would have been included.SharePoint MVP | Developer | Administrator | Speaker-- Twitter -- Blog - http://nextconnect.blogspot.com

Mike do you have any idea if i can use SPD workflow http://spdactivities.codeplex.com/to copy list items across servers?e.g http://myserverA/sites/policelist to http://myserverB/sites/policelistI have no ideas what will be the best way to copy list items across.Any solutions out there?Thanks

I'm not sure, I haven't had to use it to move things between servers, but since it shows the full server path its possible and worth a try. If that doesn't work, I've used the iLoveSharePoint custom actions to call a web service. In this case you could just call the list web service on the destination server. http://www.codeplex.com/iLoveSharePoint/Release/ProjectReleases.aspx?ReleaseId=20898 An event handler or custom action could also be built as well.SharePoint MVP | Developer | Administrator | Speaker-- Twitter -- Blog - http://nextconnect.blogspot.com

ok. thanks Mike i'll give it a try. I have actually used Sharepoint Designers xml webservice to retrieve the list from the remote site. The only issue i have is attachments are attached to items and unfortunately that server is using Windows Auth whilst the site that is showing the data is using FBA. So when they click the attachment link they would have to autheticate and i don't want that. Regading data only thats done but the attachment to list is the issue

Mike the http://spdactivities.codeplex.com/doesn't work across services or servers:)Tired it:(
