Under normal circumstances I would completely agree. The problem in this scenario is that the group who are in charge of checking pages went through all the pages, checked them, and now wish to have our approvers approve them, but they didn't set the pages they checked to "Submit for approval"!!!!!
Approvers are only interested in that little "Approve" button at the top of the page, and the people who checked them have no desire to go through the thousands of pages on the site again to set them to be pending approval. Hence I'm left trying to work out how to make everything set to pending approval :-( I'll have a crack at coding something to change the workflow status :-) Thanks, Zelda Zelda Leung | Principal Developer | Legal Aid QLD | Ph: 3238 3626 ________________________________ From: ozmoss@ozmoss.com [mailto:ozm...@ozmoss.com] On Behalf Of Jeremy Thake Sent: Friday, February 06, 2009 11:52 AM To: ozmoss@ozmoss.com Subject: RE: Setting a page's Approval Status I believe you'd have to use the SharePoint Object Model (C#/VB.NET code) to modify the status of a workflow associated with a Page (which is basically a List Item (SPListItem) in a SharePoint List (SPList). I would advise against changing the List Item status column metadata directly as this is done by the Workflow as it progresses through its states, and therefore you really do need to trigger the workflow to make it change the status so it stays in sync.

The pages are all using the out of the box publishing workflows if that affects the solution?
