Values of a custom property whose type is set to Date are missing after you use the Spin.exe tool to import documents from SharePoint Portal Server 2001 to SharePoint Portal Server 2003
Consider the following scenario. You migrate documents and metadata from Microsoft SharePoint Portal Server 2001 to Microsoft Office SharePoint Portal Server 2003. To do this, you use the Document Library Export Tool (Spout.exe) to export content from a Web Storage System-based document library in SharePoint Portal Server 2001. Then, you use the Document Library Import Tool (Spin.exe) to import the content to a Microsoft SQL Server-based document library in SharePoint Portal Server 2003.
Some of the documents that you migrate have a custom document profile property whose type is set to
Date. When you view the documents in the document library after you import the documents to SharePoint Portal Server 2003, the column that is associated with the custom property is imported to the document library. However, the column does not contain any data. The values of the custom property are missing.
Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services does not support the promotion or the demotion of custom properties whose type is set to
Date. Therefore, custom properties that use the
Date type are not imported to SharePoint Portal Server 2003 if you use the Spin.exe tool to import documents from SharePoint Portal Server 2001 to SharePoint Portal Server 2003.
The SharePoint Portal Server 2003 Document Library Migration Tools, Spout.exe and Spin.exe, are tools that you can use to migrate documents and metadata from SharePoint Portal Server Web Storage System–based document libraries to SharePoint Portal Server 2003 SQL Server-based document libraries. To obtain the SharePoint Portal Server 2003 Document Library Migration Tools, visit the following Microsoft Web site:

Community Feedback System
Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
