I had just enough luck with the custom form designer to feel cocky enough to think I could tackle the list view designer too.  But it looks so much harder than the form designer!

I have a user who wanted me to add the credit line to a list view so that she could export it easier to Excel and sort it by donor.  My initial look at the designer and instructions for playing with the designer don’t immediately tell me that I can add fields to it.  It looks like I can re-direct the list view to make it return different data, but I’d have to know the field and column number.  Am I reading that wrong?

If you guys tell me that I am reading this wrong (admittedly, I’m only skimming…) I’ll take more time and try to teach myself how to do it.  If it’s not possible, though, I’d appreciate your telling me not to waste the time…

Have any of you made custom list views?  Is it as complicated as it looks? 

I feel incredibly lazy even posting this, but since I have so little shame left…

Thanks,

David
