    Because there has been  what appers to be an effort to seperate what works with WSS 3.0 and MOSS 2007,  I have to ask,
    can the templates that say are for WSS 3.0 also work on MOSS 2007?

    Yes, they will. 

    MOSS is built using WSS.  Any Microsoft template designed for WSS will work in MOSS.

    Not a customization question.

    Moving to the General forum (Admin was the option but it's a very general question)

    -------------

    Adding to Paul's comment and picking up on something you wrote. The thing s that not everything written for MOSS will work in a WSS 3.0 installation. But the other way round, typically, there are no such problems because MOSS is WSS 3.0 + additional functionality.


    Note that in MOSS you often need to apply *both* the WSS 3.0 version of something *and* the MOSS version.

    This goes for instance for Language Packs (need WSS 3.0 LP and LP SP1 + MOSS LP and LP SP1) and Service Packs (need WSS 3.0 SP1 and MOSS SP1)

    Thanks for the response I thought that to be the answer but again some times I can't see the tree, yada yada.

    Would this be the place to post a question about how to Link an SQL view, in List form,  to MOSS2007?

    If you were going to do it using SPD 2007's Data View Web Part then the Design/Customization forum (takes all SPD questions).

    If you were doing it with Programming (which it doesn't seem to be) then Development/Programming.

    Otherwise probably Admin.


    (This one was more general than admin because it was if you like pre-sales level knowledge - even though the pre-sales aspect was templates extended by me to Language Packs and Service Packs)
