SharePoint Howto: Display list or document library from a parent site within a subsite

Howto: Display list or document library data from a parent site within a different site

"I get asked this one a lot, and thought I had blogged it but it looks like I didn't.

    I was never able to get around to really trying and have since not been in a position to play with SharePoint much...

    I wish I could have been of more help,

    Great that there is a solution! I was going officially insane ;)

    Quick q though - do you know if this is possible without front page?

    Thanks in advance & best regards,
