Portal Scroll Bar

[pvivacqua]

I have a script with a loop that creates records dynamically

These records appear on a portal.

When I have a large number of records wich requires me to use the scroll bar to access them I have a problem.

When I try to go to a portal row that is at the end of the portal using the scroll bar while the script is running, The script keeps pulling the scroll bar to the begining of the portal, and I can never get to the record I want unless I pause the script.

Does anybody have a better idea?

You may start trying this...

before creating the record store Status(CurrentPortalRow) in a global field. Then after the record creation perform Go to portal Row(yourglobalfield).

If the portal row is selected after the record creation it will be selected again.

It the user is typing into a portal field and you want him not to be pulled out of the field you may play with Status(CurrentFieldName), GoToField and GoToNextField to reposition the user on the proper field...

But, can't you wait the script to finish to start working on the portal?
