Hi Deependra,You can open de view orpage where the webpart is on in SharePoint Designer and convert the listview webpart to a xslt Data View Webpart. Then you can select the group heading and remove it.Another way is to create your own list template and edit the listviews in your list definitions.If You want more information on how to do it, let me know.Renee

Hi,You don't have to change the listview into xslt dataview. If you remove this part from the list view<GetVar Name="GroupByField" HTMLEncode="TRUE"/><HTML><![CDATA[</a> : ]]></HTML>the groupheading will be removed, it is part of the ListViewXml.If you edit it on a (view)page in a site opened in SharePoint Designer it will only do that for that view on that list. The page becomes customized.Good luck,Renee

We are had a such requirement, After going throught big round, finally We used, Content Query web part and Group by Division which would not shown Division as Group Header.(Make sure that your Division Column defined as a Site Level will column) First time, I use SharePoint Designer to Edit the List View WebPart and remove group header value from back end Code. Since you are editing the code the List Name value was hardcoded.Due to this you may not able to re-use this WebPart for other SharePoint views.K.Mohamed Faizal, Solution Architect, Singapore http://faizal-comeacross.blogspot.com/

HmmmmmmI think it is not very easy to do without customizing files that are not 'allowed to be modified'. It is not recommended and supported by Microsoft to edit the standard SharePoint Files. Creating your own whole new lists definitions isa bit to much asked I think.If you want to edit the list definitions:The listdefinitions are features in the feature folder. For example the custom listschema is in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12\TEMPLATE\FEATURES\CustomList\CustListYou can find thispart of xml for every definedview in the schema.xml <GetVar Name="GroupByField" HTMLEncode="TRUE" /><HTML><![CDATA[</a> :&nbsp;]]></HTML>I thinkthis is notthe road you want to go..... I just want to point you to where the code is that creates the groupby heading.Maybe not the answer you wanted, but a bit more information to get to a solution, somebody else a suggestion???Good luck,Renee

I think you have to uninstall and install the list features.stsadm -o uninstallfeature -name <featurefoldername> -forcestsadm -o installfeature -name <featurefoldername>I am not sure if it is applied to all existing views, but it is for new created views.Renee

Dear Renee,When i use uninstal/installfeature it says wrong file name - feature definition file must be named feature.xml.then i used the following to activate feature:STSADM.exe -o activatefeature -filename "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12\TEMPLATE\FEATURES\CustomList\CustList\schema.xml" -forcethen i get'the given path's format is not supported'is there anything i missed?Deependra

If it is een existing installed list that has changed:Use -name instead of -filename and it is the name of the feature folder in your exampleCustomList will do. stsadm -o uninstallfeature -name<featurename> -forcestsadm -o installfeature -name<featurename> If you install a new list:place your feature in the feature folderstsadm-o installfeature -name<featurename>stsadm -o activatefeature -name<featurename> -url "http://yoursite" Renee Hulsman - e-office / the netherlands - rhulsman.blogspot.com

I think you messed up the feature.xmlWhat steps did you take?The only thing that you had to dowhere the following two steps- edit the schema.xml of the customlist.Basiccly remove two times thisline of code and save it<GetVar Name="GroupByField" HTMLEncode="TRUE" /><HTML><![CDATA[</a> :&nbsp;]]></HTML>- uninstall and install the featurestsadm -o uninstallfeature -nameCustomList -forcestsadm -o installfeature -nameCustomListI did the first step for you and zipped the feature you can get itherereplace the one you have with this one and install and uninstall the featuregood luck Renee Hulsman - e-office / the netherlands - rhulsman.blogspot.com
