Horizontal Portals

[edmonton]

Hi

I am wondering if there is a way to have portals displayed horizontally instead of vertically :

If there is a way, could someone please tell me how to achieve this ??

Thanx in advance....

Yup, but it's not pretty. You need to create the effect of a portal yourself by using one relationship for each row (now column). Each relationship points to a sequential record in the order you wish. Scrolling is done with buttons that increment the keys which control the relationships.

In version 7 you can also create multiple instances of the same 1-row portal side-by-side, specifying 1st row, 2nd row, 3rd row, etc.; tedious but it is then a "horizontal" portal. "Scrolling" such a portal would requires some doing; best used when there are a small and limited number of rows.

Its much easier in FM7, but still a bit of work. I have attached an example of my solution. It is a bit complicated but also allows for scrolling left and right. The layout tries to explain what is going on but please let me know if you are having difficulties understanding what I did.
