I have been working on adding status and progress bars to some of my lists and have been able to thanks to the great information from End User SharePoint and Path to SharePoint.
But I am seeing some side effects and wondering if there are work arounds for them?
Adding the 2 columns to hold the colors and html I note those 2 columns show up when I edit a record and also they show up in the Alert emails.
Any ideas how to hide those?
Calculated columns should not show up when you edit an item. Maybe you are talking about viewing it?
If you'd like to hide the calculated columns from the DispForm page (when you're viewing an item)...
In your list, go to the Settings page.
Click on Advanced Settings
Change the setting "Allow management of content types" to YES
Click OK.
Now there will be a new section in your settings page, called "Content Types", and there will be one content type listed in there. For example, if it's an announcements list, the content type will be Announcement. If it's a custom list, the content type will be called Item.
Click on the name of that one content type
Now you see your columns listed. Click on the name of the column to hide, and change it to "Hidden".
As far as the alerts go, this is a bit more complicated.
Read my friend, Brett Lonsdale's paper on modifying the alert notifications:

Specifically, read the part about the Properties element.
