Ernest Daniel Jameson wrote: Upgrade File .doc to .docx & Keep History 13-Jan-10 Hi, In our SharePoint portal (2007) we upload a document with the same name as an existing document (e.g.: MyDocument.doc) and it adds it to the revision history for that document. I upgraded MyDocument.doc to MyDocument.docx and uploaded it to our SharePoint portal. It saved it as a new file instead of adding it the history of the existing document. Is there anyway to tell SharePoint to make MyDocument.docx a new revision of MyDocument.doc? It really is the same document, just a new version. That will be a problem if organizations loose there document history every time they upgrade from doc to docx. Also, in the Document Library, you end up with two items with the same name but different histories. -- Thank you, Daniel Jameson SQL Server DBA Children's Oncology Group www.childrensoncologygroup.org Previous Posts In This Thread: On Wednesday, January 13, 2010 7:01 PM Daniel Jameson wrote: Upgrade File .doc to .docx & Keep History Hi, In our SharePoint portal (2007) we upload a document with the same name as an existing document (e.g.: MyDocument.doc) and it adds it to the revision history for that document.
