Hello all,
I have a lookup column that contains employee info from a list stored in the root of the site collection. I called it lkupEmployeeName
On one sub site that is one level down from the root, I have another list that contains projects. The lkupEmployeeName column is used to reference the employee name. This works fine.
I created another subsite one level down from the root and have a list there called equipment. Using the same lkupEmployeeName column there, the column is empty and I get a message stating that the service is not avail right now, click here to try again. Of course clicking it results in nothing.
I added a new list item to the employee info table to see if the lkupEmployeeName column would update in the projects list and it does. Going to the equipment list in the site next door and it is still empty.
I have tried making another sub site and another lookup column. And for whatever reason any lookup columns I make now only work at the same level that they were created on. If I try to use the column on a different site they are empty.
Looking in SharePoint Manager, I have found the listID and webID attributes to be correct.
I have tried this with service pack one and without service pack one. (I have the machine duplicated in VMware) Either host has the same exact results.
My thoughts are that newly created sub sites are not connecting to the lists properly but I don't know why this is. The correct listID is showing in SharePoint Manager so I am stumped.
Ideas?
