I have created a custom edit form for a custom list. Initially I noticed there was no Edit Link on the Display Form. I checked the List properties in Sharepoint Designer and noticed that there was no entry in the default edit form. I set the default for the correct content type (Item). While the Edit link is now appearing on the Display form, when a user selects the Edit Item from the drop down menu on any view, the user is taken to a completely different page and not the Edit form as expected. I am using Sharepoint Server 2007 with Sharepoint Designer 2007. Thanks in advance Regards

Make sure all of your forms (edit, new, display) have different web part IDs. If any of them are the same you will get unpredictable behavior. Hope that helps, SharePointNinja

Hi, Have you deleted the default EditForm.aspx page, and then published your custom page to the project/form? If so, it is a known issue that after deleting a default view page in SPD, the page will redirect to the home page. I am sorry there is no hotfix currently. When create a custom list form, we recommend to people not to delete the default form page, just replace them with new pages, or you can edit in the default form, the following steps can help you: 1. Open your site in SharePoint Designer, browse to the List and open the ‘EditForm.aspx’ web form. 2. Right-click the list form and select “Web part properties”, in the Layout section, select “Hidden”. (We should hide the original form and then create a new list form) 3. Go Insert > SharePoint Controls > Custom List Form. 4. In the List or Document Library Form dialog, select the List, content type and type of form (select display item form). 5. Click OK and a display form is added with controls representing all the fields from the list. Hope it can help you.Xue-Mei Chang
