Hi Jim,
There is no need to move away from qListView. If you're on 5.7 (latest hotfix) or 6.0 for SP 2010 you can notice that we introduced
a new property of the qListView web part to control the # of lookup fields at the web part level.
This is how we document this property:
Lookup Threshold Controls how Web Parts behave in relation to the List View Lookup Threshold in SharePoint Resource Throttling. When this attribute is set to:
• • Default — the system level control set at Web application level determines whether all fields or only fields that do not participate in the List View Lookup Threshold are queried.
• • On — only fields defined in Lists that are non-hidden and do not participate in the List View Lookup Threshold are queried.
• • Off — the system level setting is overridden and all fields that support advanced features (such as LinkTo and Session that require additional fields not explicitly defined) are queried.
• • Explicit — only the fields explicitly defined in the Web Parts properties (such as DisplayFields) are queried.
Please go ahead and try it and let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks,
