Anyone know how to make a portal in FM7 reset on exit of the portal like it did with FM6? Meaning, if I create a new entry in a portal via the bottom row, it stays there until I exit the layout and then come back. Used to be (when I walked to school without shoes, through 3 feet of snow and through Indian territory) in FM6, when you exited the portal by clicking in the open, the portal would reset and your new entry would hop to the top (if it was sorted descending via created date and time in the relationship.

Now, it just sits like a lump at the bottom.

Is there is a script solution to reseting the port (other than hopping into another layout and back?

Have you set the portal to sort in descending order by creation date?

In the layout setup dialog, check the show field frames when active box. That will make portals pop like they used to.

Huh! That's wacky.

I have some fields that are really button labels on said layouts and that's why I turned that option off. Displaying them with frames looked a little cheesey. Now, I wonder what FM's thinking was when they linked those two functions together (field frames and portal popping).

At least I know now why it behaves this way. Now I just have to figure out what's more important to me. Clean buttons or popping portals.

Many thanks for the insight.
