   Is there a way to modify the DispForm.aspx and NewForm.aspx as a web designer? I dont have admin privileges and we're using SharePoint 2.0

   Thank you,

   wow... 2.0, that is really reaching back for me. As I recall, there is a reference stored in the content database such that if you connected to the site with frontpage and browsed to the list, opened the Forms folder, I think you could edit those. If you can, they would unghost the pages and store them in the content DB... which decreases perf of that page and poses potential upgrade difficulty. If I'm not remembering that right and you can't get to the Forms folder (it is hidden--you may need to go through explorer view), then your only option would be to alter the copy on the server. However, this would likely be in the default site definition and doing that is not supported.

   As I recall, when doing what dwinter suggests will FrontPage you are likely to break your forms.
   If you go down this route, experiment with it in a sandbox first. From within FrontPage, you'd better edit the EditForm page as text, not use the default edit option.

   You also have the usual trick: append ?ToolPaneView=2 to your URL, and automagically the page will switch in edit mode to allow you to add Web Parts. Risky too.

   I hope this is scary enough, and you won't try anything unless you have a real business need.

   Thanks. I created a CEWP and used ToolPaneView=2 to modify the list page. :)
