SharePoint 2010 Error

Thu Jul 26 11:42:14 EDT 2012

Hi Sharon,

Did you create your Announcements web part using the standard SP2010 (sub)site definition of type "Blog" or did you create it using your own Lists?  I sounds like that you might have created it using your own Lists and probably used something like InfoPath Designer to design the form.  If so, then you can specify the default View Form for the List in question using your browser or SP Designer.  This is pretty much standard functionality which you might have tried already, but nonetheless these are the steps I would follow:

SP DESIGNER:
Open the (sub)site containing the Announcement lists and choose Lists and Libraries.
Choose the Lists in question and under Forms make sure the form view in question is marked as "Yes" under the Default column.  Use the "Set as Default" option in the ribbon to set it to default if needed.

BROWSER:
Navigate to the List Settings button in the Ribbon for the List in question.
Choose "Form settings" on the List Information screen and tick off the form which needs to be the default.

Not sure if it helps.

Wouter

Subject: [WEB4LIB] SharePoint 2010 Error

We have our Intranet on SharePoint 2010 with the Announcements web part on the front page.  It displays fine, however if you want to click on the Announcement to edit it, you get:

Error
Unable to find the default display form for list Announcements

As the admin, I can edit the Announcements still, but my end users are clicking on them, and then emailing me about the error.  I have Googled it and none of the results have been helpful.  Any other advice?

Thanks.
