Web Part question

Hi all,

I have FP2003 and WSS. In WSS under the "General Discussions" WSS creates a
Threaded view so that grouped discussions are indented as a thread. All
that's fine.

I've added a single new field to the General Discussion, Due Date, into
which the users put the date on which the discussion (like a Task) will be
complete. Very simple.

Here's the question; How can I get the Due Date into the Threaded View as a
column. When I go to create a custom view, threaded isn't offerred and when
I'm in FP2003 and look at the code behind the WebPart for the threaded list
view I know that if I touch it, it will probably blow up or something.

Any suggestions????

Thanks,
Rich
 
The Threaded View is not editable
Create a New View w/ your fields (and new fields) and make that the default view
- you will have to set your sort and grouping options

Warning: replies to posts in anything but Threaded have a tendency to show up as new posts instead of under the original posts

Thanks Stefan. So if I want a special threaded view, then I'll need to
build one from scratch or get someone to code it for me? Someone told me
that web parts, for the most part, are configurable. Is the threaded web
part an exception?

You "build" it using WSS
Open the Web part in the browser (logged in w/ your admin rights)
Select Modify Settings and columns, and at the bottom select New View

I haven't found a way to "customize" the threaded view
But you could check at the WSS newsgroup: news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsoft.public.sharepoint.windowsservices
