portal in the multiuser situation

[faheemhameed]

Hi there,

I got a form layout with a few global fields and a portal derived from a different global field relation.

User "abc" entered his cursor in to one of the global fields. At the same time I tried to click on the portal and got the following error:

"abc is modifying this record. You cannot use it until abc is finished" ( but at the same time I can enter into the same global field user abc is in)

There are no enterable fields in the portal but some of them are buttons. I am not trying to enter into a real field in the portal. I am just trying to click on a portal row. But I get that problem.

(note: we both are on the same record)

Please shed some lights on my problem.

Thanks a lot.

The first record in a portal can be locked just by clicking on it. This is an known issue with Filemaker.
