Instead it takes me to the EndUserDispForm.aspx which was my customized page always. How can I fix it so that the browser does not redirect and shows me both pages? Thanks - IT Girl Hey IT Cowboy,

You must make sure that says "Item". The "folder" setting will always seem to complete successfully, but no change will be recorded. I think this is a feature, not a bug.. lol When you are changing the default files of a sharepoint list, the menu comes up showing each form (New, Edit, Display) there is a dropdown box that comes up initially as “Folder” much of the time.
