Re: create an edit form button

I know I have removed the ribbon from a few of my forms by simply editing the web part as shown here.

You can also use rules to switch views, so you can setup an image or a button on the Edit form and set a rule to switch the view to the New form on click. Again this is something I use quite a lot to prevent the wrong people tampering with the data in the wrong views.

Looks like you can change the PageType parameter in the link to be 6 or 8 and it will open in Edit mode. There's probably more info out there on this. PageType=4 is view (i.e. read only). Not sure what the difference between PageType=6 and PageType=8 is. Maybe you can spend a few minutes searching and add to the elucidation.

create an edit form button

Hi. I have a form (customize sharepoint list form). Regular users can submit a new item using a custom submit button. Approvers can approve with another submit button. Through workflows I send the list items to a calendar. When opening the calendar item, I can select the ItemID and open the form in VIEW mode. Now to Edit I can select the "Edit Item" from the ribbon. This is the only time I need to use something from the ribbon. Is it possible to hide the ribbon completely, and edit the item with another custom button on the form? I want to prevent people using the "Save" button from the ribbon, as the submit button does a lot more then saving. (ie keeping track of an edit counter etc.) Thanx for thinking with me. grtz, Twan
