Hey Simon,

I have the same problem.

I see the page when i click on web part properties instead of webpart properties.

Do you know the answer?

Laura,
I followed your instructions and the worked perfectly… the first time. Now, when I’ve created the custom form, and I attempt to “hide” the initial ListFormWebPart – I select Web Part Properties and the window that opens, instead of displaying the Web Part Properties, simply displays the Web Page itself… I’ve gone through a number of things to try and resolve this and have hit a wall. Do you know what is causing this? I’d love to be able to resolve this issue.

Regards,

Simon

Addis,
You can create a SharePoint Designer workflow to make it send an email, or just use good old SharePoint alerts on the list.

I wanted to send the lsit item data in Email. What I have in mind is to place an Email button next to Close button on dispform.aspx page. When the use clicks the button, Outlook opens up and attach or link or included it in the outlook text editor the item’s data. Can you help me or atleast direct me where to start? Much appreciated!

Tony,
The easiest way that I know of, to accomplish something like that, would be to use InfoPath.

Great videos thanks so much.

If you have a minute at some point, I’m trying to setup our project onboarding but I want the business users to see just a few fields, the business analysts to see more and then the project managers and resource managers to see just their part. Any suggestions?

Also I noticed some weird issues when working with a copy of the Form page as I’ve noted here http://suguk.org/forums/thread/20775.aspx .

Marc Anderson also checked this out and was able to reproduce – anyone else?

I’m interested to hear any thoughts on differences between making a COPY of a form such as EditForm.aspx and working on that, and Opening EditForm.aspx and using File/Save As to create your custom form, then setting the new form as default Edit Form.

In the past I have used File/Save As and this works OK for me unless I want to save the site as a template. When I do this new sites created from the template often seem to lose the Default Edit Form Setting and revert back to EditForm.aspx.
