Office Excel 2010 - Publish to SharePoint option not available

I was working on SharePoint 2010 Excel Services, where you can see in the Office Excel 2010, publish option to sharepoint is moved to "Save & Send" option, which comes under File, which is different from Office 2007.

But, If you go to that location,you will see Save to SharePoint option, but you will not see browse option to save that excel work sheet in to SharePoint Library.

This is because, your office installation is not uptodate. you may have to upgrade your Office Professional Plus 2010.

check this for upgrading details.

Server error: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink?LinkID=177673

I was getting below error, after installing patch in SharePoint 2010

Server error: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink?LinkID=177673


When I check in Event Viewer, I got below details
There is a compatibility range mismatch between the Web server and database "SharePoint_AdminContent_78377fc8-8ddf-4456-a370-a9c1f525531e", and connections to the data have been blocked to due to this incompatibility. This can happen when a content database has not been upgraded to be within the compatibility range of the Web server, or if the database has been upgraded to a higher level than the web server. The Web server and the database must be upgraded to the same version and build level to return to compatibility range.

I tried running this, but got command line error.
"C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14"
stsadm –o upgrade –inplace –url  central admin URL –forceupgrade

After that, just opened ShrePoint 2010 Production configuration window, navigated to all windows by clicking Next and clicked in Finish
Solved My problem.

Data View and Data Form Web Part



Data view Webpart was the basic webpart with the “view” functionality, later the DataFormWebPart was introduced  with "view" and “form” functionality to write back to various data sources.


 Data View generically used to refer to the feature set but actually it means DataForm.
SharePoint Designer’s UI still uses the term Data View in the places of Data Form

SharePoint 2010 : Cannot start service SPUserCodeV4

Error occurred in deployment step 'Activate Features': Cannot start service SPUserCodeV4 on computer

I got the above error while trying to deploy one simple webpart, when I Searched in google, many people said check the Services on Server in Central Admin and make sure Microsoft SharePoint Foundation User Code Service is started.

But, in my case "Microsoft SharePoint Foundation User Code Service" is started but still i was not able to deploy.

After doing some trial and error, I figured out the solution.

Go to Services.msc
Select "Windows SharePoint Services User Code Host V4" - Click on Properties

Select LogOn tab

Re-enter your password, click on Apply.

it started working properly.

One reason for this may be, if you have changed your windows password, you may face this issue
