I have a field for my pdf file + pdf file name and I am using Database File option as View - The hyperlink works if I have the full file name such as (mypdffile.pdf)- however, I would like to have only name (mypdffile) or another field's name as a link-
thx

Hi,
you need to preserve the original file extension to allow browser to recognize the file type.
To make the List page display the filename without the extension modify generated ..._list.asp file manually.

Find this line there:

FieldName - Database File



where FieldName is your actual field name.

Then modify the snippet following by this line
