Thanks for the post. This was driving me crazy. Guess this is just one more reason of many not to use survey lists in SharePoint.

Thank you very very much.

I saved a lot of time by discovering this flaw in MS Sharepoint Survey List.

Thanks for the post, I have been driving myself crazy trying to get the workflows to work on survey’s. The work flows are working on other list, so that eliminated several suggestions I found about server settings or changes. We are using our surveys as training quizes and wanted a workflow to trigger the grading, recording, and responding with results. Not sure if I want to tackle re-creating all the survey’s as forms. Do you have the link to Microsoft’s admittance of the issue, or any updates on them fixing it?

Thanks again for your post, helped me regain some sanity.

I have a question that may be off topic but I am looking for advice as to upgrade to Windows Vista or not. My PC is currently running XP.
Are there pitfalls that one should consider ?
