Hi Everyone, Can't believe it - just found this out and it makes me frustrated the doc library has workflows so I cant even use the hack.
Have to create another doc library and then apply all meta data - content types etc to that....... Here is the thread if you want to read it all http://www.techtalkz.com/microsoft-sharepoint-server/392624-save-list-template-moss-whered-go.html Goto "View All Site Content" and have a look at the description next to each library. The ones that say "This system library was created by the Publishing feature.." will have the "Save library as temlate" link hidden. There is a dirty hack to work around this issue. Goto the "Document Library Settings" page. You should see the URL address is ".../listedit.aspx?List={GUID}" if you change the "listedit" to "savetmpl" you will be able to save the library as a template. the link should look like this "../savetmpl.aspx?List={GUID}". Obviously this is unsupported, but it works. I think you will run into issues if you have WorkFlows bound to the Library. I think there was an issue with WF having list IDs hard coded into them. But if you just want to create a template for document settings, Columns and views this works fine.

When you say you see the option on doclib but not another, are the two doclibs in the same site collection? If so then I'm not sure but if not then check your user's permission on the site collection list template gallery (Portal<http://dvsdev001/> > List Template Gallery<http://dvsdev001/_catalogs/lt/Forms/AllItems.aspx> > Settings<http://dvsdev001/_layouts/listedit.aspx?List=%7B5E8885E2%2D0097%2D4953%2DB8AD%2D20B54C603E30%7D> > Permissions ). Although having said that, from memory the option still shows up even if you don't have sufficient permission, it just gives you an error message once once you've filled out the template name etc and hit ok.

It is now my intention to save this document library as a template which I understand you do by doing the following: Open the document library on your intranet..... Select Settings/Document Library Settings Then select from the Permissions & Management colum Save document library as a template. My problem with the library I want to do this is that the option does not appear in the menu - yet it does for another - is there a setting on the document library somewhere that prevents a template being made?
