Up to this point I&#39;ve had to do customizations directly in the itemstyle.xsl as opposed to creating a new projectname_itemstyle.xsl file. I fully understand that this is pretty much the opposite of best practice as it involves editing the default sharepoint file. Could you please explain how you go about setting the reference to your custom file?<br /><br />Thanks,<br />Ernie BErniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01368712339874084412noreply@blogger.com
