To summarize my initial need, I have list of a few hundred items, where I only need to display one small field; let’s just say it’s the Title for this discussion.  By default, the list will be displayed one title per line, where the title is linked to the item View.  This results in a lot of lost page real estate, so helped me format the results in a table using qListView and Custom Display options.  His technique has made such an improvement to the page that I can actually display all the titles on a single page.

The resulting table, however, is just a list of the item titles.  None of the titles link back to the item View, so it’s not a total solution.  I’m trying to figure a way to manually insert the html tags in the Body around each title so that each will become a hyperlink to its View.  This really isn’t ideal; it is a lot of work, and I would like to make it dynamic enough that it could figure this out for itself, making the transition across Dev -> Test -> Prod environments simpler…make full use of all our Quest tools.  I don’t know that this is possible, but I’m certainly going to give it a shot.

Most of our company’s lists are not for documents, including this one.  So at least for now, we can focus on a standard list instead of a document library.  While I haven’t yet tried it, I wouldn’t think that the <%FilePath%> expression would be usable in this case.

Would you have any other advice?  Thanks!
