Error message in SharePoint Server 2007 when you log on to the Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 document library and then click "My Approval": "Unexpected query execution failure, error code 1205"

In Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007, when you log on to the Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 document library and then click My Approval, you receive the following error message:This symptom occurs if the following conditions are true:

• The account that you are using has administrative permissions.
• Many users are creating multiple documents in the SharePoint Server 2007 document library.
• These documents include a Group Approval workflow.
• The users are then submitting the new documents for approval.
• While users are submitting these documents, users who have approval permissions are approving these documents.

This problem occurs when many approval transactions occur at the same time in SharePoint Server 2007.

To work around this problem, cancel the workflow that generated the error message. Then, restart the workflow manually.

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed in the "Applies to" section.
