All
Many thanks again!!!
In SPD I tried to reformat the links in a standard view that were associated with lookup columns to text but SPD would not allow it. There was no error message the change just would not save.
This is what I did
Open list>>List View Options>>Change Layout...>>Layout>>HTML view(so the list would display standard view)>>Convert to XSLT Data View>>Reformat the link
Any ideas?
