Am a newbie! I have just added a portal to a coin database I created to speed up navigation and display search results. Initially, when I open my database, all fields are displayed with a solid red border (thickness of 1) as added by me. If I click on a portal row to display a record, the border of all records changes to a dotted line; the red border disappears. Can someone tell me what is happening, please?

It is difficult to understand your description. A simple file showing the issue (and preferably nothing else) would help.

Keep in mind that any styling you select for an object in Layout mode is applied only in the selected state (Normal, Hover, Pressed, In Focus). So a border selected for Normal state will "disappear" when you click into the field. But this would affect only the field you clicked into, not "all records", so ...

Thanks for a quick response!

I have attached 2 images. Image 1 shows the database when I open it. Image 2 shows the database after I click a record in the portal. Am I right in assuming that this is what happens when using a portal?

No. See if you can reproduce the problem in a brand new file, and if so, please post it here.

 

I redid the portal in a backup file and still this issue resurfaces. Be interested in your ideas as to why this is happening. I note that, if you click on the record after you have selected it from the portal, the red borderline of the fields returns.
