Hi, it was really useful your post!! But the thing that I’m trying is to copy some items from a sharepoint list to another list, and the sites are in differents farms.
The thing that when I try to get the SPSite of the other farm, it throw me this error: “The Web application at [My site URL] could not be found. Verify that you have typed the URL correctly. If the URL should be serving existing content, the system administrator may need to add a new request URL mapping to the intended application.”

If anybody knows how can I solve this, please help me…Thanks!!!!

If you are using SharePoint 2010, another approach is to create a custom ribbon

button and write ECMA Script to clone the items.

Benefits:
1. You don’t need to create / update an item and then write the cloning

functionality in its event handlers.
2. Permissions can be handled so that only eligible users see the button.
3. Asynchronous calls
4. The button can be limited to a single list or be applied to a list template

@ Gore T.Richard: This will work for SharePoint 2007, you have to modify two files ‘yourworkflowname.xoml’ and ‘yourworkflowname.xoml.wfconfig.xml’ file with the new list Ids to work the workflow for the new list, Good Luck

@ Safwan Rasheed: Yes, it’s possible you have to check the condition before adding the record in the destination list using CAML query, Good Luck
