I posted this message in the FMPro 7 General Forum as well....

I am not using a script to create the new portal records so I cannot use the Exit Record command and I've tried using a calc field behind the portal and that does not work....

I am displaying a portal window, which when a line item (UPC) is entered, it (the UPC field in my Items DB) does a lookup of an inventory item (in my Inventory DB). When using the [Full Access] log-in, the portal window refreshes after each line item is entered accurately displaying the new line item. When using any other account access (i.e. Data Entry only), the portal window fails to refresh automatically after each line item is entered.

Does anyone know a work around or why the portal window behaves differently with access priv's? Thanks for any help!

I have a similar problem with FM7 but only when the portal shows data from an external file, if the data comes from a table within the file everything's OK.

I am sorry I cannot be of much help.

Check the permissions of the Data Entry user--maybe they don't have permission to this particular field.

I'm using the built-in [Data-Entry User] account which has access to create, edit, and delete in all tables. All of my tables are non-external. Value lists and Layouts are View Only and Scripts are Executable Only.
