Portals - New Records filled with unwanted date

[Veronica]

Using the Time Billing free solution that originally came with FMP 5.5 and upgraded to v7.

Activity, Customer & Project fields in portal are now configured as validated entries by value lists with "Other" capabilities.

The problem: I have 74 master records, I want to create a 75th record and so on. When I create the new record and fill in the Employee name & number and the beginning of week date, the cursor jumps to the date field in the portal, (as it should), but all the fields in the portal are filled with data from a prior record. The filled date does not come from the prior record but from a much prior record.

I've checked relationships, field characteristics and scripts. I have no idea why this is occurring and how to stop it. It must be something simple. I just can't figure it out.

Please Help.

Open the field definition and look for an auto-enter option.

Vaughn, thanks for your reply.

I did as you suggested and there is no "auto-enter" function selected.

I don't remember now, because it has been so long, but if those fields were originally repeating fields, they are not now. But I'm thinking as I write this: Why should that matter? I have been successfully able to enter 74 records without a problem.
