There are 8 columns in this list.

I want in the FORM fields of the List (where you add a New Item), 2 columns should be hidden in 1st view, and it can be seen in 2nd view.

Plz tell me how to do that???

Hope this helps.

1. I closed down SPD at lunch, came back and carried on working not realising that SPD had opened the NewForm.aspx without me even asking it to – and because they all look so similar I didn’t even realise I was working on it – thought I was working on a copy of the EditForm I had created.
2. Even spookier – decided to leave broken newform as is for now as not a showstopper by any means and carried on trying to work on customising an EditForm copy – when out of the blue I noticed that whenever I created a copy of the EditForm.aspx the list properties automatically set the copy to be the supporting file and not the original. Iwent and checked on the sharepoint site and found sure enough that my list editlink now pointing to the copy file. If I hadn’t noticed it was doing that I could have carried on customising the “live” editform and breaking everything!!
This is doing my head in and I can’t find a ref to it anywhere.

You can easily hide columns, change position and a lot other advanced tasks without coding. Give it a try, i think it will solve a lot of problems.

At least that is what I had to do.

1. Double-click to edit/open the NewForm.aspx or EditForm.aspx (or whatever).
2. Right-click on the ListFormWebPart (the column 1/2/3 thing).
3. Select ‘Properties’ (this focuses on the Tab Properties tool box pane; only Behavior & Misc show as headers for me).
4. NOW go to “Insert > SharePoint Controls > Custom List Form” and follow original screen shots from there.
