Comments on: SharePoint – Error Updating List Item http://www.sharepointassist.com/2008/10/13/sharepoint-error-updating-list-item/ How I do it...

I requested a specific hot fix from Microsoft, installed the hot fix (which turned out to be WSS 3.0 SP2), ran SharePoint Configuration Wizard, and now I can enable item versioning on a list AND execute a workflow that updates fields on that same list. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/948945/en-us http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/sharepointdevelopment/thread/ca3ea7cf-83b5-43d6-a276-44b1881e08c2 http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/forums/en-US/sharepointdevelopment/thread/396d8390-f6ad-4d47-9491-487cf59854ae http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepointdesigner/HA102379121033.aspx Good feeling...

Have you found a way to keep the versioning feature enabled such that the workflow runs successfully? Shouldn't have to make a choice between these two features.
