How can I change the Drill down link to be in the linked field instead of having extra columns in the left side?
I have pages with multiple drill downs and have requested to do it using the field valued but don't see how do it.
NOTE: When you have

as drill down options it takes too much space on the screen and they dont like that (me neither) hehehe.
How could I change to and better utilize the space used by [color=#0000FF]Orders Customer Documents Calls Etc
Thanks a lot

You can use View as type Custom and the following code.

Make sure to replace field and table names in bold:

strValue = "<a href=DetailsTable_list.asp?mastertable=MasterTable&masterkey1=" & data("LinkField") & ">" & strValue & "</a>"

I went little more aggressive and used the HTML code behind the natural drill down links that automatically generates ASPRunnerPro and copied it behind (html) the drill down filed or column I want. It also allow me to edit the field like %, $, Number, etc. (I don't lose that option this way) 
It works great!!! It also displays the records before I really clicked on the column. 
My users LOVED it!!!! <img src='https://asprunner.com/forums/file.php?topicimage=1&fieldname=reply&id=21756&image=1&table=forumreplies' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':P' /> 
Question, how can I make the preview records to be shown to the left instead to the right when it is the last field in the record?
When I pass the mouse over the last field to the right it still show the preview to the right but there is no space in the screen and they don't see much.
However, when I do it in the very last field in the bottom of screen it automatically knows that it should show the preview going up. If I go to the first one in the top screen it shows it going down so that is excellent!!!
I just need it to do the same with the LEFT or RIGTH just like it does very well with the UP or DOWN. Is it posible?
Thanks for the help

Unfortunately this is not possible as details window width is not defined and varies from record to record.
