As you know with Sharepoint the implementation chosen depends on how many sites/items you’re playing with at any point in time. (e.g. while lists can hold 300K – 500K items in folders. What’s practical for the user? How to locate these in a view? Paging items etc. – in contrast to a handful of items, these techniques are fine) For this reason I decided to use implicit searching to return back a list of ‘top level’ sites through a custom web part – tree views are nice too. We used folders and subfolders to represent the heirachy. This presented a familiar view to the users to what they’re used to. Also Search took care of permission trimming in the search results. The custom web part went off and grabbed additional descriptive information about the Site if requested (this was set via a Web Part property) As we all know – there’s a bunch of ways to do this. We had pretty aggressive deadlines around all this – it did the job. Hope this helps, Cheers, Mick.

I have a friend overseas who is looking for options for a customer. ------------------------------------------------------------------- OzMOSS.com - to unsubscribe from this list, send a message back to the list with 'unsubscribe' as the subject.
