Performing Find from Portal Row

[smills]

I am trying to perform a find based on information in a field in a portal row. An Evaluation database is related to a Student based by a teacher field. The portal in the Evaluation database shows all the students for a particular teacher. I would like the user (teacher) to be able to select a student name from a portal row and find it in the Evaluation database and go to a particular layout. I can't seem to get a selected student id from the portal into the find. Thanks..Steve M

Here's something I do...

Create a button next to your field in the portal row. This button will take me to the related record (show only related). If you need more flexibility, you can write a script to perform actions to that record, etc. You see, by clicking the button, you are selecting the record, then the button knows which record to perform the action on. Just remember, the script attached will most likely only trigger a script in the other database, since that is where that record is. Hope this helps.
