Hi Dave,

Thanks for posting in the community.

First of all, I would like to confirm my understanding of your issue.
From your description, I understand that you wants to know is the webpart
in the link below will work on both WSS site( windows sharepoint services)
and SPS site(SharePoint Portal Server).
Have I fully understood you? If there is anything I misunderstood, please
feel free to let me know.

I think the link you specify as below
http://www.devx.com/dotnet/Article/17518/0/page/2
will work on both SPS and WSS site.
Usually a Webpart for 2003 will work on both WSS and SPS site, except the
webpart using some Object Modal which is specified to WSS site or SPS site.

For detailed information about OM of SPS 2003 , you may refer to the links
below.

The only thing that would make your web part work on SPS an d not WSS would
be using the classes from Microsoft.Sharepoint.Portal namespace and its
subnamespaces ...
I don"t think there is something that can work on WSS and not on SPS (SPS is
a higher layer on top of WSS...) and if you have SPS on the machine, then
you also have WSS, which probably would make your code alright ...

Hi Dave,

I appologize for my confusion, in common sense, I agree with Malek's
suggestion. Usually a webpart works on WSS will work on SPS too. Since SPS
will has some features that WSS did not have, so if you use the feature in
your webpart on WSS, the webpart will not work properly.

But there also will be unexpected exception, we need to analyze the
concrete problem when we encounter the exception.

Thanks for you understanding.

If you have more concern on this issue, please feel free to post here.
