I want to create a basic table listing CCK fields (linking to nodes) and Profile fields (linking to user pages).

I did this in Drupal 6, Views 6.x-2.16 and it worked nicely, but while migrating to Drupal 7 using Views 7.x-3.3, I can't figure out how it can be done because apparently I have to choose a Content type up front, and am then limited to a set of fields that will exclude one or another set of fields that I need.

For example if I create a Content type view I can't pull profile fields. Likewise if I create a Profile type view, I have no access to Content fields. Same thing with Taxonomy, apparently.

Am I missing something fundamental? Is my best recourse to develop some other solution using a bunch of CCK fields with fancy linking settings to mimic the above? Can't even envision that, although I haven't dug deeply into that idea just yet.

Got it at last! Apparently I'm still on that curve.

I created a Content type view and added four fields: the "Author uid" field (linked to user, outputs to a cck field value), the "Node: Link" field (linked to node, outputs to a cck field value) and the two associated cck fields used for the above fields, both hidden. Thus with the four fields I output the two links that I desired in my table, and filter by taxonomy terms. Voila!
