Yiannis Posted February 28, 2003 Posted February 28, 2003 Sorry about my English. If you can not understand me forgive me... Please I want to find a solution to my problem and I can't. My problem is that I have a file with name "Room Reservations" and another file with name "Plan of rooms" with a related portal from a third file with name "tempfile". I use the temp file to hold all the reservations for a room using "RoomId" match field so the portal in the "Plan of rooms" can appear all the reservations for each room. The real problem is that because I have a relation between "Plan of rooms" and "Temp" files I can not use the portal fields If I click them to go to a related record in the "Room Reservations" file. How can I make the portal to be related with both files?
Ugo DI LUCA Posted February 28, 2003 Posted February 28, 2003 You can set a multiple go to related records. That is that the first step of your script will lead to File B and then a sub-script would lead to file C. Look at Kevin Franck for a good Demo and explanations of the concept Kevin Franck Multiple GTRR
Yiannis Posted March 1, 2003 Author Posted March 1, 2003 The Kevin's Frank paradigm is Ok but it isn't refered to a portal situation. Do you have any other idea? I repeat that the problem is how can I go to a related record in the master file from a portal in a second file when portal doesn't have a relationship with the master file but with a third temp file. Thank's for your support.
Ugo DI LUCA Posted March 1, 2003 Posted March 1, 2003 Here is an attachment I made for you to understand. Very simple DB with Invoices, Line Item and Product File. The portal in Invoices is related to the Line Item, but you can trigger a scipt to go to the Product File.
Yiannis Posted March 1, 2003 Author Posted March 1, 2003 Yes It working. It was so simple... Forgive me I just came from MS Access and Vba after a long period of masochism with those products and I can not find yet my rythm with the thinking of FM scripts.
