Okay, I’ve not done any blogging for a while, been mega busy… But I just came across this problem in a MOSS environment, which after a bit of digging was easily resolved.

I’ve just been trying to create an application page which will submit data to a list in another site collection in SharePoint 2010. I went through the usual process of using  SPSecurity.RunWithElevatedPrivileges to add the list item as can be seen in my generic list insertion method below.   Insert List Item Method /// <summary>         /// [...]
