Is there any way to add the Folder Up button to a 2007 document lib? I have
users that are complaining when they have to use the IE back to get out of a
folder when in 2003 there was an up button after you entered a folder. This
really comes into play when you have multiple document libs on a page and the
breadcrumb does not reflect the path for each document lib.

thanks

I think that's going to be hard since you have multiple libraries on
the page. Here's a content-editor based web part I developed to do
what you asked (except for the multiple libraries on the page part).

http://www.usingsharepoint.com/Webparts/Forms/Tiled.aspx

Click on the Description link to see how it works, click on Breadcrumb
to download it. The JavaScript might be useful to you since it parses
the folder address.

Good luck,

Jeff

Thanks Jeff. That looks like pretty good option. I was hoping for some way to
retrofit the exiting document libraries I have. I've got quite a few to have
to recreate to fix them.
