Without access to the server, is there a way to cancel all workflow instances currently running on a given list (without removing the workflow itself)?

I am looking for a solution that works in SP 2007.

Thanks!

You could go to list settings and remove the workflow association completely.

Paul, I have edited my question. My purpose is actually to cancel the running instances, but not delete the workflow. Sorry about that. – Christophe Oct 5 '10 at 11:37

No problem... in that case, without using a code solution, I think your only option would be to terminate each workflow instance one-by-one. – Paul Lucas Oct 5 '10 at 22:35

If you're going down the code option, you could have code which gets a collection of all the running workflows, and iterates through them and cancels them one at a time, using code like this post:

Is the workflow an approval workflow? Usually deleting all the approval tasks from the task list cancels all the workflows. Each workflow instance will get a workflow cancelled event too, which is a rejected status i think.
