Sharepoint Lists

[eayub]

I'm using custom lists in Sharepoint as a means for users to provide feedback details for a particular product. The one problem I have is that I have certain columns in my list that I DONT want users to fill in. My question is, when users click the add new item link, is there a way of preventing them from seeing these other fields or making them un-editable? Any help would be much appreciated.

Hello,

You can modify your list by opening it in FrontPage 2003. Locate your list and the aspx file that opens up when a user clicks add new item link.

There you can remove (hide) fields that are not supposed to be filled in.

Make sure you take backups of the files before editing them!

I would suggest you test it out on a test-list first so that you are sure you can get the results you are looking for.

Regards,
Thomas

Cheers for the reply Thomas. Unfortunately, I can load the aspx file that opens when the user clicks the add new item link BUT I can not seem to edit any of the fields in the design view. I tried switching to the code view to see if I can find the fields I need to delete but they are not visible. Can you (or anyone!) give me some advice or point me in the direction of a good tutorial.

Many Thanks in advance

Hi,

When you have the aspx file opened in Frontpage (I usually use the Split mode) if you right click in the "design" part window you can chose Customize SharePoint List Form...maybe that might help.
