Re: Help: Can not add a listing to the portal area?

Hi Ed,

I have not put my hands on the portal as I am busy with another project.
But I will try to find time, hopefully this week, to try out. And I'd also
like to work out the similar solution for document library. Otherwise, the
maintenance effort would be too huge for me.

Thanks. Will keep you posted.
