Comment on The dreaded ‘Absolute path information required’ – Some light in the darkness by Brian

Worked great for removing web applications that are messed up. When I tried to manually delete my web app from SCA, I received an error that showed up in the sharepoint logs as: System.NullReferenceException Exception Message: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

This tool removed it easily and I was able to re-add the web app after.

Excellent guys, with your help i managed to get both edit and display working in Sharepoint Designer 2010

For clarification so that it’s all in one place:

Do the edit first.

Firstly you need to copy and immediately reinsert the code representing the field you want to see history on and then change FormField to AppendOnlyHistory and the control mode from edit to display. AND in Sharepoint designer 2010 you also need to change the id [i added an h for history] – remember to change it all places in the code.

Original:

Inserted Code:

Save and Test

Then the display Form:
Copy the inserted code from the edit form and strip out everything apart from what is shown below:

and place it where you want the history to appear.
That’s what i did and it is all working fine. hope it works for you. Good Luck!

Thanks Jai,

This tool is really useful. Every time I ran into this error, I used to create a console app by writing the code all over again.

But your tool is damn good and has a nice UI that makes it very easy to use .

Thanks,
Deepak

Am having the saving problem, and (like Mark) am not following what people have done to the code to get around this issue. Carl or Alun, could either of you describe more on what you did to fix this problem?

I tried the above and it seems to work on the display form but when I add it to the Edit form I am no longer able to edit the field. I can view the history on it but cannot update it. What am I doing wrong? Any help will be greatly appreciated.
