Hi! I have a database with many layouts. Each layout has the same title text, graphics, and buttons across the top. As it stands, if I ever want to change any part of that, I have to go through and change each layout, one by one. Is there some way to put this title text, etc. in some sort of header, so that if I change it once, it changes on every layout? Thanks!

That's very cool, Fenton -- I'm going to play around with that. Thanks very much to both of you!

I have been known to do that from time to time Sure -- can you give me more info? What should the calculation be? Thanks!

Hello all! I have a database that keeps track of a number of professors. I also have a related database that keeps track of the students who work under these professors. Each record in the Professors database contains a portal listing all the students that are associated with that professor, as well as those students' contact info. Within the Students database, I'd like to have a yes/no radio button field for whether or not a student is required to take an exam. If the answer is yes, I'd like a field to "pop up" that asks the date that exam was taken. If no, nothing happens. Of course, I'd like these fields to be visible within the portal in Professors. I've poked around and looked at the visibility trick, but it looks like it requires a portal, and I can't have a portal in a portal. Is there another way to hide and show this "date of exam" field within the portal? Thanks very much.

I'd like to know if there's any way to get the blank entry row to appear at the top of the portal. Sometimes it's a pain to scroll through 20 or so related records just to add a new one. I'm not sure if this is possible, though. FMP7's Help file clearly states that, to add a related record through a portal, I must "type data into the field in the last row of the portal." Merci.
