Change a list's new Item form
Change a list's new Item form
- Hi all
I made a custom page that inserts new items in a sharepoint list
now I want to make the new item page of the list to be my custom page
I connected the site from sharepoint designer
I looked at the properties of the list and browsed the new item form to be my custom form and then pressed apply then ok
but nothing changed when I insert a new item in the list the standard new item form appears
what can be the reason of this ?
thanks
Mina

- What you need to do is to change the "Supporting Files" in SPD to set the "New item form" to your own page.
1. Open the site in SharePoint Designer.
2. Right click the list in the Folder List and select Properties.
3. Go to the Supporting Files tab.
4. Use the Browse button to enter the path to your new New item form.

- Mina,
If you have a choice of using third party solution you can use Sharepoint Form Generator which allows you to create a data entry form similar to new item form
If you want to create your own custom solution which generates a data entry form similar to new item please follow the post on creating Sharepoint list form generator

but I've already made a form to insert data to the list and I want to use it as the new item form
thanks
