    <p>I am evaluating SharePoint 2007 for a document control system with workflows. So far, my experience has been "bitter" but I am not given any other option. The only tool I am able to use now is SharePoint Designer 2007. I have a few questions:</p> <ol> <li><p>I noticed that there is a column called "Outcome" for every task which shows the same thing as "status" shows. If status is "Complete", outcome shows "Complete". I Googled it and it seems that outcome can be made to show "Accept/Reject" but I am unable to change the "outcome" column in SharePoint Designer 2007. In fact, I don't even see a field called Outcome. Whats the work around to this? </p></li> <li><p>I am "remotely" developing this document management system. I figured that I cant use VS2008 to develop it since it needs to be running on the server machine itself and requires some DLL's from the Server itself (Microsoft.Sharepoint.dll or some such thing). I definitely wont get any access directly into the SharePoint server. Any other way to develop using VB or C# workflows for SharePoint 2007?</p></li> <li><p>This question is a serious one. What is the architecture of SharePoint? Why is it so counter intuitive and incredibly hard to develop on it? What am I missing here? Even a silly thing like "Due date reminder" is so complicated on SharePoint. I have spent hours and hours to fix some really stupid issues. What am I missing here?</p></li> </ol> <p>PS: First time on Stackoverflow and guys, your question posting tool is slick!! Loving the realtime preview.</p>
