Check the Windows Event Viewer --> Applications because most of the time when I receive this error, there is a more descriptive error in the event logs that points right to the actual problem. Let me know if there is an error in the event log and we can go from there. Thanks! Eli

Thanks Eli. I checked the Windows Event Viewerand found the following Error 5290: There is no administration site associated with the Shared Services Provider SharedServices1. when i tried to check SharedServices1 properties in the Central Adminstration site the following error is displayed An unhandled exception occurred in the user interface.Exception Information: The site with the id ed142c31-e3cd-45d6-bf68-6d3d94010fec could not be found. so i can not edit this SSP

nermin_fcis,I had this same error and what worked for me was to add this to my web.config file in the <system.web> section:<identity impersonate="true" />Hope this helps.Thanks, Jeff

I tried this tip too. My case here is I'm actually trying to execute the CAML query on the Pages list to get the list of pages based on the content type. Help me...~ Gangadhar Kotu

Hi , I am also getting the same error, I already try <identity impersonate="true" /> and no use of it. please suggest some things else?

I had the same issue after re-inheriting a document library permissions from the parent site. Turned out there is a hot fix for the issue: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/934525 The issue description is here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/937038/ -Eugene Rosenfeld http://thingsthatshouldbeeasy.blogspot.com/-Eugene

Hi, I guess, the above error message is not related error "Cannot complete this action". Can you check of some other error message in the EventViewer, also try to get the error info from the MOSS Log files under 12 hive.--Cheers

Check this out: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/michael_yeager/archive/2007/10/05/cannot-convert-type-microsoft-sharepoint-webcontrols-delegatecontrol-to-system-web-ui-iattributeaccessor.aspx. Basically, there are few HTML tag that are commented by SPD. After removing those tags, it will be loaded OK.

Hi, Am getting 'Cannot complete action' error while running webpartpages.GetWebpartpageDocument method on an .aspx page in the page library. What all possible reason can be there for this issue. please help. Thank you.
