Hi, I am looking for a module recommendation to have the sort of functionality a SharePoint List or Library provides.  Custom columns, and views of the data that provide a dropdown or quick way of switching between these views.  I don't really want to be taking the time on creating complex templates for viewing this data aka XSLT, something simple and user friendly is preferred.  Data could be stored in a table  provided by the module or can connect to an data external source, import from some sort of data file (XML, Excel, CSV) would be nice to have.  Another nice to have would be to attach a file to an item (eg PDF), or set a link to a detail page/file for the item.

The core Form and List (http://www.formandlist.com/Documentation.aspx) or possibly Repository modules are about the closest things I'm familiar with and are quite flexible. There are MANY other commercial modules for creating and manipulating lists quite flexibly such as XMod or Dynamic Forms. Search www.SnowCovered.com for form or documents for a sample.

Thanks for the reply. Been so long I actually skipped over doing the dynamic list and just did a static one for now. I did look around on Snow and saw the Dynamic Forms List module, seems like the best fit and what I will go with. My experiences with the Form/List and Repository modules is that they are very powerful but absolutely not user friendly and would take me forever and a ton of knowledge to set them up in the right way, so I took them out of the running right away.
