Ahhh thank you for the information. I added a blank record and all the scripts started working. I ungrouped the previous and next button and was able to see your hide and unhide code, thank you. But I was still having the same problem with the viability, but walking through your suggestions fixed it. Turns out when I added another field to the portal, to test it out, as soon as I adjusted the size of the fullName field it stated showing up! I have no idea why changing the size of a field would suddenly make it appear but its all working perfectly. Especially when the field was we

Hello eos, I love your file, It does exactly what I need it to. Right now I'm attempting to recreate it inside my database. The things I have done: 1. Copied over your scripts and changed every name in each script to match my database. 2. I have linked all the tables together exactly how you have them in the relationship editor. 3. I have set every script trigger, page trigger, button and conditional formatting that I could find to what you have. The problems I'm having are: 1. The names are not showing up inside the portals. 2. Whenever I click on a letter at the top it pops

Yes! This is EXACTLY what I was looking for! Thank you very very much.

If I used 4 side by side portals how would I handle the carry over? i.e. when column 1 fills up start putting results in column 2? I took a look at the samples you provided in the link. Those are really cool. Thats exactly the behavior I was hoping for, but I wasn't able to figure a way of having a list of names in the column, it only lets you display a single result in each column. Thank you for your help!

Hello, I was wondering if anyone knows if its possible to have a list view that fills a column, but when it gets to the end of the window in that column, instead of a scroll bar it populates a second, third, or forth column. If it fills all four columns it would go onto a new page. You would be able to filter the results by last name by clicking a letter at the top. I made a mock up describing what I was hoping for. Thank you for you help!

Thank you for the heads up on naming, I think I will go back in and change the "Resources" table to "Globals". My line of thinking was, it's being used to perform other functions therefor becoming a Resource, but I can see how that would be confusing later on if I do indeed have "Resources" I need to create. I think I understand the Variables, the reason I used the global variable $$dnID was because it was pulling the information from the "Resource" table and using that variables data in a different script. Now you brought up a good point I didn't really think about; as you said the wa

Hello, All Assets are "Temporarily" assigned to staff members, when on leaves the asset becomes available. As for the Resources table, I created it to hold misc. fields that do not belong in other tables. Like the Asset Search box, I don't think it should go into the Assets table when its not holding any data related to the Assets other than storing a temporary value. Now I'm VERY new to Filemaker so I could be quite wrong on my assumption. For Global Variables my understanding on them was that a table could not see another tables variables unless it was a global. Again I could be

For others out there like me I solved my own problem with the guess and check method First on my search field it is located in another table, so the first thing I had to do was do an OnObjectExit I set a global variable $$dnID. For the ADD button that was created, I used the following script: Set Error Capture [On] Set Variable [$$staffID; Value:Staff::ID] Go to Layout ["Asset"(Asset)] # Perform Quick Find [$$dnID] # If [$$dnID = Asset::DN and IsEmpty (Asset::StaffIDFK)] Set Field [Asset::StaffIDFK; $$staffID] Commit Records/Requests[] # Else If [$$dnID = Asset::DN and not IsEmp

Hello Everyone, I'm having a hard time working out how to do a search and replace. How I have my FM project set up is; I have three tables. The first is Staff, it has these fields: id, staffID, firstName, lastName, fullName (caculated). The second is Assets, it has: id, staffIDFK, dn, make, model, etc... The last is Resources, it has: id, staffIDFK, assetsIDFK, addItem. What I have is on the Staff page I have two tabs, the first tab shows all of the staff members information, the second tab has a portal showing all assets assigned to them. Above the portal I have a field(add

Hello all, I have a strange problem that I have not been able to work out over the past few days. I have created a popover search bar for my layout and am using the default Asset Quick setup. Within that inside the Asset Details window I have created a popover button that exposes a search bar. The odd part happens once a quick search has been done. The search provides the correct assets in the list, however it ALSO includes what ever asset was currently selected. For example If I have 3 items, each in a category of "Laptop, Desktop, and iPad" and the Desktop asset is selected, w
