Portal Loop Limited by Layout Rows

[Garry Claridge]

I discovered that when looping through a portal, which has more entries than displayed, the loop is limited to the last displayed row.

Increasing the size of the portal fixes the problem. Is there a better way?

I have been using Global variables to keep track of the row numbers. I set the last row number by using the 'Goto Portal Row[last]' and 'Status(CurrentPortalRow)' functions. I could try using the Count() function!

Thank you.

I don't have a definite answer, does your portal have a vertical scroll bar to allow navigation to below the maximum number of displayed rows?

I remember running into that. I didn't find a solution other than what you mentioned. I'd be happy if anyone has.

You know you can make a layout which has no purpose other than running that script, have the script go to it and come back to the original layout before it finishes?

I think AndriesV gave the correct solution. I have a similar design where the portal has a vertical scroll bar and my loop works fine. Take the scroll bar away and it doesn't. Seems a bit picky to me but at least now you know

Yes it was the scroll-bar, forgot to check the box. It is on a purpose-built layout, in my line-items file, for Bill-of-Materials pruposes; who needs scroll-bars for that ;-)
