Go to portal row

[tv_kid]

Hi all

I'm having a bit of trouble manipulating a portal. I want to only display 20 lines in a portal (without a scroll bar) at one time, and have buttons 'move' the records on to the next set of 20. I thought I could simply use the "Go To Portal Row" script step to accomplish this. However, although Filemaker is going to the desired portal row, it won't 'scroll' through the portal to bring this row to the top, with the result that it effectively does not go to the portal row.

Does anyone have any thoughts?

Go 19 records beyond the desired row, then go to the correct portal row.

An idea,

- You could also set the portal to show records depending the value of a field.

- To show the first 20 records the field´s value would be 1 the next 20, 2, and so on.(up and down buttons should change that value via a setfield)

- A script should asign the related values to contain the secuence of numbers to be displayed.

I hope i get to explain myself.

I think I would do it this way under FM7 - While I under FM8 would exploit GetNthRecord( instead.
