I'm creating a community bulletin board to include a directory of names, phone numbers, etc. I have a category with two boards, The Directory and Changes or Corrections. The Directory board would not have posting to it rather the title itself be a link to my attached spreadsheet data base.  I'd appreciate some help...thanks in advance.

Is your objective to make a board a link to a page instead of listing its contents?

If so you can supply a URL in the Redirect URL field of that board's settings in Structure > Categories & Boards and that board will go to whatever link you specified.

Fantastic...thank you.

Oops...ran into a problem. Unlike the browse button for uploading photos, the redirect URL assumes, I suppose, that my directory listing of residents is on the web somewhere when it's on my computer desktop? 

Is there anyway to accomplish this with an attachment in lieu of a URL?

If you have the attachment already uploaded to a different post you can provide the attachment URL.

There's no way to attach a file to anything other than a post.

Thanks Brian I got it working.
