I have a portal to another set of records and am trying to place the data from the portal to a text file (various positions in the single text file depending on the cursor position selected). This works only at the end of the text file with the use of a set field script and a button on the portal. I have tried insert calculated result but this for some reason does not work with portals(it works with drop down lists).By selecting the drop down lists and placing a button script with a insert calculated result-- I can place text into the file any place the cursor is located. Any one else had this problem?

Can you post a sample file? I have no idea what you're describing.

I am guessing this is similar to this.

Ah, I get it now. I should have read 'file' as 'field'; then it all makes sense.

Thanks, I will take a look at the reference.

That is what I needed---- again thanks,

Just a note- I found a workaround for placing the portal contents anywhere in a text file-- it is a little rough around the edges.

Thanks -Queue- and comment for your help!

-enclosed is the work around.

Perhaps this solution might fit your needs?

Thanks, I will give it a try.
