The SharePoint Hive

I am trying to setup a sharepoint calendar so a user can post an event on the calendar and it will go to a another user for approval before it gets posted. Does any one know if that is possible. I can’t seem to find the answer anywhere and my attempts at setting up a workflow were unsuccesful

Also is there a way to shrink the default calendar to a smaller size. I know you can shrink the pixels but then you have to scroll to see the whole calendar.

Thanks for the help!

Chosen Answer:

Yes, you can require approval on any list, including calendars. This is actually out of the box functionality, so you don’t even have to build the workflow. You can simply go into managing settings for the list and then in general settings, click into version settings and require approval. When something is submitted, only admins on the list will be able to approve it. Note: if you are an admin it will automatically post, so you’ll need to test with another account.

On your other question, I don’t know of a way to shrink the calendar, but you may want to try another view, such as a data list if you have limited space to work with.

Good Luck!

We have a Microsoft Sharepoint 2007 Standard Server installed together with the Microsoft SQL Server 2005 on the same machine. Right now, we already outgrow the server and need to move the SQL Server out to a separate machine, is there a best practices and/or migration guide that someone has written that illustrates the detailed steps to go about doing so. For example, can the configuration database and the content database move together? Or do we need to have the configuration database still in the same server as Sharepoint 2007?

Try Microsoft KB Article 894164 for starters. It was written for 2003, but makes total sense.
