Re: DataView Web parts

HI Deb

What you need to do in FP -> right click on of the rows, that would be
your data which is not clickable. One of the options you see in the
menu on right click is Format Item As. Click on that and you should get
options like text, hyperlink, etc.

That should make it clickable.

Cheers!
