Add InfoPath CSS to all Forms, Farm Wide

I’ll be speaking at Live! 360 Orlando, November 16-20 with two sessions on PowerShell and SharePoint from an IT Pro perspective (although the session will have something for everyone). Unfortunately though, I’m not Chuck Norris, so I won’t be writing PowerShell on Windows NT 3.1. However, these will both be demo heavy sessions with nowhere near 50 or 60 slides … Read More

SharePoint 2013, Document Sets and Library Level Defaults – Apparent Bug
I’ll stick to calling this an apparent bug for now as I’ve only tested/confirmed the same results on two separate SharePoint 2013 environments.

Another detail to note, especially when you look at the screen shots, is this was SharePoint 2010 upgrade to 2013 and the visual upgrade hadn’t been performed yet. I’m honestly not sure if this happens with every … Read More
