Mostly work based scribblings in an attempt to remember what I've actually done.

Getting somewhere?

I am very much a novice with stuff like this, and it's basically taken me a whole day to get my head around how to create a bit of a web form in Sharepoint 2007.

This bit uses the Connected Lookup field from http://cl.codeplex.com/ .

What I wanted was a list containing Depts and teams within them where only the teams within a dept would show when you selected the dept when uploading content.

To do this I made a list containing the following fields:

team
dept

Then I went to my sharepoint wiki page and created a new column for dept:

Title: Department
Get info from: the list I made above
parent column: none
Value column: Department
broadcast: yes

Then another column for team

Title: Team
Get info from: the list I made above
parent column: Department
Value column: Team
broadcast: yes
