Any SharePoint Users? WebPart Problems.

[Westwood]

Hi All.

I am creating a simple (or so I thought) SharePoint 2007 site. I have 3 lists...

'Projects' a list of textual data, dates, names etc.
'History Log' a list of textual entries, dates and times.
'Documents' a list of word and excel files.

'Projects' is the main list. 'History log' is a list of actions that take place on a project and 'Documents' is project related word and excel files. So in database terms each project can have many history log entries and many project related documents but when I look at the project I want to only see the related documents and history log entries to that specific project.

I have edited the DispForm.aspx for the projects list and added a web part for the other 2 lists on the page. My intention was to have the page show the detail of a project, then the history log and documents web parts would show only the related logs/documents to the chosen project.

Obviously I was planning on doing this with the 'connections' option but for some reason the connections option is not selectable on the project detail part of the page and can only be chosen on the history log and word and excel list web parts.

Could someone tell me why this is and how I can get round it?

Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Thanks for the replies.

No this is still not sorted out. I agree though, I do a search online and come up with nothing. I also posted on Experts Exchange but nobody was able to help (well no replies) so far.

Thanks demon9k but I dont really understand what you mean with that? Is it variables on the end of the URL I should be using?
