  • Article

The information in this specification is applicable to the following Microsoft products or supplemental software. References to product versions include updates to those products.

  • Microsoft Office 2010 suites

  • Microsoft Office Groove 2007

  • Microsoft Office Groove Server 2007

Exceptions, if any, are noted in this section. If an update version, service pack or Knowledge Base (KB) number appears with a product name, the behavior changed in that update. The new behavior also applies to subsequent updates unless otherwise specified. If a product edition appears with the product version, behavior is different in that product edition.

Unless otherwise specified, any statement of optional behavior in this specification that is prescribed using the terms "SHOULD" or "SHOULD NOT" implies product behavior in accordance with the SHOULD or SHOULD NOT prescription. Unless otherwise specified, the term "MAY" implies that the product does not follow the prescription.

<1> Section 2.2:  Office Groove 2007 and Microsoft SharePoint Workspace 2010 always set the TableDefID attribute  on the command elements, and always set it to a value of "-1".

<2> Section 2.2.4:  For all data types but XML Element, Office Groove 2007 and SharePoint Workspace 2010 include the Value attribute in the Set Field command message, with the attribute value being the new field value, with two exceptions:

  1. For all field types except the Boolean field type, where the value matches the system default value for the field, Office Groove 2007 and SharePoint Workspace 2010 do not include the Value attribute in the Set Field command message.

  2. Office Groove 2007 and SharePoint Workspace 2010 treat Boolean type fields in the opposite manner. The system default value is "False", but for the Boolean field type, Office Groove 2007 and SharePoint Workspace 2010 do not include the Value attribute in the Set Field message if the value is "True". If the value is "False", which is the system default value, Office Groove 2007 and SharePoint Workspace 2010 do include the Value attribute in the Set Field message.

<3> Section 3.1.1:  If the current value of a field is the default value specified in the Record definition for that field, Office Groove 2007 and SharePoint Workspace 2010 do not serialize the field value as part of the message sent for an Add Record or Add Records command message.  Office Groove 2007 and SharePoint Workspace 2010 treat Boolean type fields in the opposite manner, as described in <2>.
