I am using a portal for data entry, and would like to limit the number of records created through the portal. Is there a way to do this? [email protected]

Make the portal without "Allow creation...." and script it like this:

If [ Count ( Itemlines::BelongsTo ) < 5 ]

Go to Layout [ "Itemlines" (Itemlines) ]

New Record/Request

Set Field [ Itemlines::BelongsTo;

Get ( ScriptParameter ) ]

Go to Layout [ "Invoicing" (Invoicing) ]

Go to Portal Row [ Last ]

Go to Field [ Itemlines::ItemName ]

Else Show Custom Dialog [ Title: "Ooops"; Message: "This invoicing system allows only 5 lines in each invoice!!!"; Buttons: "OK" ]

End If

Where the button that makes you produce a new portal line gets the parameter InvoiceID....

Thanks so much I'll try that right away!
