Is there any way to view what Collection Category a DVD is under when viewing the All or Owned category? Only way I can find is to click on each individual custom category and look for the DVD in the list. I even tried finding it in the HTML Tag to just put it in a custom HTML section, but I can't seem to see it there either). It seems like it should be something that would be listed somewhere in the profile.

The only possibility I know of would be to use Custom Hints
In the Report-engine it is stashed away under Content -> Personal -> Status.
I quickly added that to my "Mithi Lightblue Custom Hint german" to give a starting point.

Excellent. That's perfect, thanks Mithi. Now that's going to give me something to mess around with this afternoon.

Thanks to Mithi help and mediadogg's javascript example from Aug 2012, I was able to create a simple HTML Window which can be added to an existing layout. For anyone who hasn't played around with creating an HTML Window, it's under View / HTML Windows / Edit. Click on Section / New and type in a name for your window. Then just paste the code in red below (the rest of the code is created automatically):

<HTML>
<HEAD>

<SCRIPT TYPE="text/javascript">
<!--
<DP NAME="HEADER_VARS" Language="JavaScript" Comments="True" IncludeCast="False" IncludeCrew="False">
//-->
</SCRIPT>

</HEAD>
<BODY>

<FONT FACE="ARIAL" SIZE="2">
<P>
<STRONG>Collection:</STRONG>
<SCRIPT TYPE="text/javascript">
if (DP_CollectionTypeOwned)
{
  document.write("Owned");
}
if (DP_CollectionTypeOrdered)
{
  document.write("Ordered");
}
if (DP_CollectionTypeWishList)
{
  document.write("Wish List");
}
if (DP_CollectionTypeCustom)
{
  document.write(DP_CustomCollectionTypeName);
}
</SCRIPT>
</P>
</FONT>

</BODY>
</HTML>

Thanks
