I have a bunch of questions on a migration project I am invovled with at work. Basically, I had to move all of my classic ASP items into SharePoint.
I have a list which allows users to add to. I have two workflows associated with the list.
Basically, when a user adds an item they start a workflow. Once that workflow is completed, a second user will start the second workflow.
What I want to happen is when BOTH workflows are completed, I want to "archive" that particular item. Maybe move it to a different list? I don't know at this point... Looking for some insight...
Thanks!

I am using standard workflows and would like to keep it as close as possible to use the built in functions IF possible...
So lets say they are WF1 and WF2 (standard workflows) and I want to check to see if both have been Completed (or approved) and then archive them.
How would I go about doing that with option 2?
if need help to create a SPD workflow, just drop me a line.
Here is a link with some cusotm actions for SPD workflows: http://www.codeplex.com/SP
and a general help how you can create a SPD workflow: http://office.microsoft.co

Hi,
at least three ways to archive this:
1. I don't know what kind of workflow is the second one? If it's s SharePoint Designer (SPD) Workflow, you can just add some actions to do the archiving (moving the item for example).
2. If it is a configured standard workflow, you could create an additonal SPD workflow - starting on "Item Changed". The Workflow could check if both other WF are finished and do something (or nothing is the other WF are not in the correct state).
2. If you are able to deploy something on the server an eventhandler would be good to. Sitting on the list and waiting for the "Item Change" event - and than doing the same as the SPD Workflow do at No. 2.
If think for your "problem" No. 2 would be good.
