Due to a spelling error in the shortname, this module is discontinued in preference to Views Reference Field which has a shortname which is correctly spelled.

The Views Reference Field module is exactly the same as this one. There are no differences whatsoever. This change is simply due to a spelling error in the shortname, which is potentially untidy moving forward. Thank-you for your patience.
