Perhaps this is a Frontpage Group question, but here it is:

I have a SharePoint list of customers and when I drill into to the display
page (DispForm.aspx) I want to filter a Data View Web part (DVWP) for the
contacts associated with that customer (so you only see the contacts related
to Customer A for example). I should be able to do this with a DVWP in
Frontpage? No? I have tried filtering the Contacts DVWP with a customerID =
'@ID' etc. and with no luck. Any idears on how to configure this as a web
part?

Hi,
I have done something similar but for Project/tasks
See http://www.wssdemo.com/Project/Lists/Project/DispForm.aspx?ID=3
Up at the home page are some notes on how to do it.

Ian,

Thanks for the great example... couple of things...

on the notes page of:
http://www.wssdemo.com/Project/Shared%20Documents/display.aspx

and walking through trying to duplicate your example of projects --> tasks

I am having trouble with the Projects DVWP and the Filter on ID with [Input
Parameter]. It will not filter with that. It should be the selected project
it will then filter it on correct? I can get nothing filtered (or any values)
with prjects there when I change the Client Parameter Bindings like the
example:

<udc:ClientParameterBindings>
<udc:ClientParameterBinding Name="filterParam"
Location="Postback;Connection;QueryString(ID)" DefaultValue=""/>
</udc:ClientParameterBindings>

but if I 'hardcode' the default value (DefaultValue="2" for example) to a
valid project ID then I can successfully filter the Tasks for that
'hardcoded' project. Of course, I want to pull those dynamically from the
selected project ID (like yours is doing). Any idea why that [Input
Parameter] is not taking? Also, once the filter is working do you then hide
the Project DVWP somehow? How?

thanks,
Kevin H.

The <udc:ClientParameterBinding Name="filterParam"
Location="Postback;Connection;QueryString(ID)" DefaultValue=""/>
goes on the DVWP that is bound to the Project list, not the task list DVWP
(you may have modified the wrong DVWP on the page). This DVWP is only
required so that we can make a web part connection to the Tasks list.
Unfortunately the web part that displays the Project details that is already
on the page doesn't support connections.

You can hide the Project DVWP by setting it to a closed state in the display
properties. I only have it displayed in the demo so that you can see it is
part of the solution.

Hi Ian,

That Client Parameter Binding is exactly what I have on the Projects DVWP.
It is not filtering on the project. When I hardcode the Default Value it
filters it then. Does the parameter need a @ID or anything?

QueryString(ID) should pick up the ?ID=xx value from the URL.
You could try adding the DVWP to a normal web part page and test by adding
the url parameter to the browser.
The modification is based on this KB
