I have a portal which reveals only 20 of 100's of records. When I move from this layout to another AND back, the portal always starts with the first sorted match.

I would like to scroll through the portal, select a record, say #500, go to another layout and then upon return have those 20 records still be in view.

Good Day, All

What you want has been introduced in FMP 7.

In FMP 6 and earlier, the best you can do is remember which row was clicked on, the return to this row later. This will require a global field and some extra script steps, and a bit of navigational control over the user's movements.

No, it's not quite perfect: if the row clicked on was to the top of the portal, it will be at the bottom on returm. But it's the best that can be done.

Vaughan,

I've been able to get the previously selected row to set itself near middle of the portal by setting a global field +10 then -10 of the original status(currentportalrow) but never exactly where I left off. It appears this is best I can do

thanks for the advice

That's as good as it gets in FMP 6 and earlier.
