Hey thanks for your help, I have found out what is causing the problem and decided that I need to use a different view with multiple fields as a key, but that is going to be a new string of emails as I attempt to do so haha! thanks for all the links, they will come in handy as i am using a list item called filter that has some javascript to further filter my new view.
cheers, no doubt Ill bug you all in the near future =) SP From: J Chris Anderson <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Date: 14/07/2010 04:55 PM Subject: Re: Custom view parameters???
