SYMPTOMS
When you change a file's extension when you rename a file in the dashboard site, it does not change the extension, but rather appends the new extension to end of the existing filename. For example, if you attempt to rename &quot;file.txt&quot; to &quot;file.doc,&quot; the file becomes &quot;file.doc.txt.&quot;



WORKAROUND
Rename the file using the Web folders interface. If you do not have the SharePoint Portal Server client components installed, you can download the file, rename it in Windows Explorer, and upload it back to the workspace using the dashboard site.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
