You can add any of the fields to a view based on their internal name. For example, the internal name of the field for the documents icon is "DocIcon" and the correct field to use for the title field with the edit menu is "LinkFilename".
If you are unsure what the internal name of a field is that you want to use a view, you can try this - build the view in SharePoint and then go to the 'modify this view' page. Then with the IE Dev Toolbar (or firebug if you are a fix fox user) select the check box for the field you need the internal name of. You will see that it has an onclick attribute that will look like this "javascript:ShowHideTotals(this, 'LinkFilename')". The internal name for the field the checkbox corresponds to is the second parameter in the JavaScript function.

But I would still be interested in knowing how to add these "special" fields programmatically if anyone knows?

Anybody have any idea how to create these view fields programatically Many thanks Nigel Witherdin Senior Support Analyst Eversheds Direct Dial: +44 (0) 84 549 754 17 Mobile: +44 (0) 7738 553256 www.eversheds.com<http://www.eversheds.com> ********* This email is sent for and on behalf of Eversheds LLP ********* This email is sent for and on behalf of Eversheds LLP which is a limited liability partnership, registered in England and Wales, registered number OC304065.
