Making a Portal from a calc Field-- Newbe Question

[Joseph31]

Ok, I have been doing portals now for about 2 months and I thought I knew how to do them until now.

The setup:

2 Tables

Welcome table -- which holds the portal

Login table -- which hold info for the portal

Fields:

Welcome table:

"In_Folder"

Login table:

"In_Folder"

"FirstName"

"LastName"

Releationships:

Welcome::In_Folder --> Login::In_Folder

Easy so far... here is the tricky part the field "In_Folder" on the Login table is a "Yes" / "No" answer but it is a calculation field -- a simple case function that looks at different fields on the table and retuns a simple "Yes" or "No" when the case fits. -- works great

The problem:

When I go to make my portal on the Welcome table nothing shows up --- Is this b/c the field is a calc field that i am trying to make a portal off of?

Help please

Portals display related records in a table-like graphical interface. The key term here is "display related records".

I don't know why you need a separate table to display a portal.

It more like a welcome page... It has other portals from other data bases in Fm on it... I know how to make them and even make several on one page... but i have never done one off of a calc field... does this work? If so how...

I have tried this several time... my portal does not show anything when I try to make if off a calc field.

Is there a way to do this?
