Thought it might be... Is there a workaround people usually use for this? Thanks Steve

Hi there ! I am developing a database for IWP. On my main details layout I have several portals for related records off telephone numbers etc... When performing data entry in FilemakerPro a new portal record is automatically created each time you enter data into the last portal row. When using in IWP this does not happen... You have to commit the record and then re-enter edit mode to create a new portal row. Is there a way of automating this so that evry time data is entered into a portal row a new record is created? Thanks in advance for any help Steve

Thanks, downloaded the update and it works fine ! Other connected problem is this though... Will put on new post though in case you don't check this

I have portals on a layout for an IWP DB. These hold things such as phone no's etc... Problem is... Portal shows 5 records... After you have filled 5 records no verticcal scroll bar appears and you can't go to the 6th row... don't get it ! Tried various scripts from a committ button tell it to go to the portal field then last portal row etc but no avail... Any ideas? Thanks in Advance ! Steve

Hi Guys, thanks for all the help so far, am getting along in leaps and bounds ! I would like to use a portal to display a conditinal value list, is the possible? I have a table which contains names and type of person, eg artist, producer etc, and from this through a third table have created a conditional value list which shows a list of only artists. For reasons of IWP I wish to have this list displayed in a portal for people to select and enter data from, is this possible? Thanks in advance Steve

This link just seems to bring me back to my post again... it's abbreviated though... it reads http://www.fmforums.com/threads/showflat...true'HASH'post145926 Where is it meant to be taking me... Have also come up with the following code which sometimes works in Filemaker but not IWP... any more idea's? Set Field [Event Details::Global Event Staff Name; People Details::Name] Set Field [Event Details::Global Staff ID; People Details::ID] Go to Field [Event Staff::Name] Go to Portal Row [Last] Set Field [Event Staff::Name; Event Details:: Global Event Staff Name] Set FIeld [Event Staff:: People ID; Event Details::Global Event Staff ID] Commit Records this works sometimes, but still sometimes overrights exsisting data in the portal... any ideas? All these script steps are indicated as web compatible but are they really? Many Thanks Steve

Hi There ! On a layout I have two portals. One displaying a list of non-editable names and the other a data entry portal with a name field on it. The first portal holds the list of names to be enterd into the second portal and I have created a button in the first portal to insert the name text and Record ID text into the second portal. I have worked this way as the whole database has to be able to work in IWP and this is the one way I have found to paste bothe the name AND the record ID data. This works fine fort the first row of the second portal, but once you have filled in the first row I can't find a way of inserting the data into a new row in the portal, even when one is created... Here is the code behind the buttom Set Field [Event Staff::Name; People Details::Name] Commit Record Set Field [Event Staff::People ID; People Details::ID] Commit Record Do I need a button or some way of selecting records on the second portal to determine which portal row the data is selected in? Maybe go to next port row script? There are 3 othere fields to be manually entered in the second porta before the next record is read to be created... Thanks for any help in advance Ciao Steve

Hi, any help much appreciated I have two main tables, People details and Company Details. They are connected by a table called Peepony which says who is connected to which company's and vica versa. This table appears as a portal in the layouts to the two main tables. When entering from the company details page it auto enters the company name and ID from the displayed record in the layout. You then select a name from a pop-up list which displays all names within the people details table. The field for People ID in the Peepony table is set to auto-enter from people details::people ID and they relationship has been made and seems good but it is not importing the ID into the field in the peepony table. The same problem happens when entering data in the peepony table from the People Details layout... Any ideas, a bit of script maybe? Thanks in advance Steve p's' please find attached the files concerned. A file reference is required.
