wss-3.0

I have a SPView object that contains a lot of SPListItem objects (there are many fields in the view). I am only interested in one of these fields. Let's call it specialField Given that view and specialField, I want to know if a value is contained in specialField. Here is a way of doing what I want to do : String specialField = "Special Field"; String specialValue = "value"; SPList list = SPContext.Current.Site.RootWeb.Lists["My List"]; SPView view = list.Views["My View"]; //This is the view I want to query SPQuery query = new SPQuery(); query.Query = view.Query; SPListItemCollection items =

Is there a way to limit the "edit item" permission in WSS 3.0 to only allow a user to edit his own documents or list items? We need the ability for a user to edit only documents/list items he creates - NOT items that someone else created. So, essentially we need a sub-set of the EDIT permission as well as ADD. Is this possible in Windows Sharepoint Services 3.0? Is there a way to create custom permissions in code or a feature?

At the bottom uncheck the items under Personal Permissions (mainly "Manage Personal Views"). I'm doing research on how to do it in code but our project requires custom user group

Is there a simple way to add a web part page to a Sharepoint site programmatically, using either the object model or web services? It seems straight-forward to create lists and add web parts in this manner, but I can't find an example of how to create a content page. Edit: For a plain WSS installation (not MOSS). I'm going to take the route that this isn't a collaboration/publishing site as this isn't mentioned and wss is in the tag list. Pretty clunky in comparison to using a publishing site... First choose the web part page template you'd like to use from: C:\Program Files\Common Files
