should be "retrieve Sharepoint data" (not date)

I'm also interesting in that

For Sharepoint 2003 there is an example in the utility suite
http://blogs.msdn.com/krichie/archiv...15/439453.aspx that
shows you how to do this.

I'm sure the method can't be too disimilar in 2007, at least it mght
give you a place to start in the SDK.

By the way - you should use the API for this, as even reading from the
DBs directly can be dangerous

For those interested in this issue, I am in contact with Microsoft on
the issue. We are looking at two methods to accomplish my goals:
1) Automating the process of moving documents into a file system from
Sharepoint via the "activities" associated with Sharepoint workflows;
and
2) Where the above proves insufficient to the need, using the STSADMIN
tool to script the same.

I'll keep you posted regarding what I learn further.

Cool
I'll be waiting
