Only my HR wants the managers name on the approval so I may have to use a version of his name for the group name.

Have you determined whether you've actually got any existing workflows running on the item in question before clicking Approve/Reject? It makes sense the first workflow would be cancelled if you're starting a second but the approval sounds dodgy--double-check your workflow settings?Michael Haneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01877569030107816208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-158104178192097877.post-44234464513097983252009-11-06T10:55:02.388+11:002009-11-06T10:55:02.388+11:00Have you had any luck with OOTB Serial Approval.
...Have you had any luck with OOTB Serial Approval.<br /><br />I created a Serial Workflow and all was working great, except when I use "All Site Content" (_layouts/viewlsts.aspx) and as the first approver, I click Approve/Reject, I click Approved, MOSS warns me that: "A content approval workflow is currently running to approve this item. If you continue this action, you will cancel the workflow." and when I click OK the page is approved without following the original workflow process, and sent to the second approver as it normally does if you use the workflow just on the pages, and not the "All Site Content."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
