Omitting portal records?

[daniel_uk]

I currently have a layout based on a 'Membership' table. I have a portal in the layout, which displays parts of a letter I have sent to that member. I have a button that, when clicked, takes me to the full record of a given letter.

Fine so far...

However, on my layout, I want to only show one particular letter at a time. To try and achieve this, I've set the portal to only display one row at a time and I've used a script as follows:

Go to Portal Row (Select)

This works fine - I type in the ID field of one of the letters and it highlights / displays that record in the portal. HOWEVER - if I click *out* of the portal, it defaults back to the first record in the portal.

So how do I get it to ONLY display a given portal record?!

thanks !!

Don't use a portal. Just put your related fields on the layout and use a script attached to a button to change the key field when you want to display a different related record's data.
