Thanks, Kyle! It's good to know that my simple-minded approach to development is still popular with regular people :)

re: Practical Tweaks: creating a Social Security Number column

Ryan, thanks for clearing that up. I feel like an idiot, but only partially since I was born in 07054 but with a "1__" number. Still, reference checks would help.

The error has been corrected and I will address further validation in a follow-up post.

SSNs can start with zero and be perfectly valid. It can even start with 00, just not 000.

"The first three (3) digits of a person's social security number are determined by the ZIP Code of the mailing address shown on the application for a social security number..."

- www.socialsecurity.gov/.../stateweb.htm

If a person's application contained a mailing address from New Hampshire, Maine, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut or New York they may receive a ssn that begins with zero.

re: Anonymous users and SharePoint workflows: The Problem

Just for the record, I haven't found a way around this yet. At this point I'm hoping that SP 2010 has something better for us... BUT I also have a new idea for something completely different that may get us around this particular snafu, so stay tuned.

Hi there!

I do have the same problem, but in an even simpler form. I don't have a workflow, I just have en event handler that can never get fired because of the anonymous user.

Have you found any kind of solution for this? I've been searching everywhere with no avail...

Thanx

Peter,

I've got a question that I hope you might be able to shed some light on. I have a list with items that were created by an authenticated user. These items have SPD WFs that run on item creation and then wait until field X is populated. Anonymous users need to be able to populate field X, which should then satisfy the wait condition. I thought that SPD workflows ran under the context of the user who initiated the workflow, so why would an anonymous user receive the error "The data source control failed to execute the update command"?

This is very similar to what you described, as the anonymous user's updates are recorded, but the WF wait action is not satisfied, and therefore the workflow is useless.

You said you were going to give this a try, hopefull this report helps, please let me know if you have any suggestions.

Thanks!
