November 24, 200520 yr I'm a new user trying out techniques I'd like to use later. I read that it is cleaner to edit portal contents in nearby fields instead of in the portal. The way I understand this idea is that you transfer the record that you'd like to edit to the'platform' by copying the data into a 'global record' in another table. The fields on the 'platform' are actually fields from a seperate table and will then be copied back. See Vendor_Item_Platform layout 1. How do you make the portal non-editable or display only? Is this actually just the regular portal with a script attached to the rows? How do you get rid of the edit lines around each box. 2. Is the global field supposed to be in a seperate table (or can it be). 3. In my case, the portal is into a join table for a many to many relationship. I'm not sure if this is preventing me from displaying the fields on the 'platform' correctly (I'm assuming the platform is just a graphic area on the layout) 4. I think the UI table should have a relationship to the Vendor_Item table but I'm not sure why. Thanks, Siri Inventorytest.zip
