I am not sure which forum to post this question in.

Before posting I read through the conversion from FileMaker Pro 6 to FileMaker Pro 7 forum as well was the one on portals. I did not see anything particularly dealt with the problem I have.

I have a customer who uses FileMaker Pro to keep track of dumpsters. We have one file called

OK I broke down and called the guys at Filemaker pro. After updating to 7v3 the problem was still there. 3 hours later this is what finally worked:

Nav to Job Box script in "Box" (this script returns the user to the "job ticket box" file after selecting and pasting the job_ticket number in the "box" record.)

Nav to Job Box in "Box"

Commit Records.Requests[no dialog]

Flush Cashe to Disk

Open File ["Job Ticket-Box"]

Perform Script [Refresh"from file"Job_Ticket-Box"]

To fix the data remaining in the portal after deleteing the job_ticket number in the "box" record and returning to "Job Ticket Box" we came up with this:

Refresh script in "Job Ticket Box"

Commit Records.Requests[no dialog]

Flush Cashe to Disk

Perform "Refresh job ticket "from file: "Box"

Refresh window

If this helps any one please let me know. My head feels better now that I have stopped beating it on the monitor.
