ok, this is my third forum, because this problem has been throwing me everywhere.

I'm creating a computer inventory. The design specification is one rown, one computer. The person also wants to view all jobs done on the computer by the IT department. I set up a portal to show the related fields for jobs done, however there are two problems.

1) The portal forces me to list jobs in rows, rather than separate columns. Is there anyway to customize the portal to add new columns instead of rows? Or would it be more convenient to just create 4 or 5 portals and have whoever maintains the database add these on? Also, in table view, the portal only shows the first record. How would I get more records in table view using the portal.

2) The number of records can't be dynamically defined (i've seen solutions for these, I'll try those)

Please don't do this, it isn't necessary. You will find that lots of Threads have multiple answers, but that doesn't mean you need to start "splinter" threads. Please just ride your original thread until you get a satisfactory answer. It can be confusing trying to figure out what was said in the other thread when read the current one.

Thanks

Lee
