Sharepoint Deisgner Workflow DELETE ITEM and COPY ITEM task action problems
I have a workflow that is is intended to move a document from a
secured document library (source) to a publicly viewable document
library (target) when the document's status changed to 'published'.
This works fine the first time but fails the second time as the COPY
LIST ITEM task in the workflow fails because the document is already
in the target document library, which is no good as I want the
document overwritten with the updated version.
So I added a delete action to the workflow (first condition). However
the overall workflow fails when run for a new document that is set to
published. This is because the DELETE condition cannot find the
document in the target library to delete.
How can I make the absence of the document in the target library non-
fatal for the delete condition or alternatively how can the COPY LIST
ITEM task be made to overwrite rather than fail if the document is
already there?

RE: Sharepoint Deisgner Workflow DELETE ITEM and COPY ITEM task action
Hi indiacarlos,
I am trying to incorporate the same feature in my workflow using the "Copy
List" activity. But I have ben getting the error ever since i have used this.
Could you please let me know how did you succeed in copying the item from
one list to another.
I have one Form Library with few promoted columns from InfoPath 2003 form.
As soon as the [Published] column becomes "True" the workflow needs to move
it to another public Form Library with same promoted columns.
Any help!!!
Thanks,
zullu
