I have several Lists in my SharePoint site that I maintain. I updated one of the DispForm.aspx pages for one of the lists and now I can't seem to view an individual item from the allitems.aspx or any other views created for the list. I am able to edit and item by selecting 'Edit Item' from the dropdown of the record. If I manuall type in the url .....DispForm.aspx ID=1 it does work which means the page is available but the link within the view is broken.

The views for all the other list work just fine. Could you tell me how I might be able to relink my views to the DispForm.aspx

Thanks

Open the page up in SharePoint Designer then from the File menu choose reset to site defintion. This will put the page back to the way it was before you made changes. Now it should work again. Once it functions at normal try your changes again. Smile

Thanks for replying back to my question. I was really hoping someone would take a stab at it. I forgot to mention, I am using SharePoint 2003. When I open my site in Designer 2007 the reset to site definition is not enabled. Is there a way around this problem

Sorry I didn't realize 2003. The problem is the same, just changes the fix. Smile Your page is unghosted and in 2003 there is no way out of the box to reset it. So you need to look 3rd party. http://www.bluedoglimited.com/Downloads/pages/Web%20Part%20Toolkit.aspx Here is a tool called ghost hunter. It will look through your sites and show you all of the unghosted paged - essentially all the pages you edited with FrontPage. What you can then do is pick a page and reset it to its ghosted stated - essentially make it like it was before you edited it.

Sorry to say it but it did not fix my problem. All other lists in the site work except for one. I'm not sure if it's the DispForm.aspx page is the problem or the views that are created. Please let me know if that have any other options/ideas.

Thanks

I am glad to say I found the solution to my problem. Using SharePoint Designer, expand the List folder in the structure. Right click on the list that has the problem and go into the properties. Select the 'Supporting Files' tab. This is way you would need to reinitialize the links to the 3 pages. Once I reset the the display item form everything worked like it should.

Thanks
