I am trying to be a "good FMP programmer" and use the tabs as opposed to my own navigation...OK.

I want to be able to find records within a tab and then on the same tab show the found list with a portal with a vertical scroll. Problem: Portals cannot be used unless the data is "related" somehow. Solution? Create a relationship based on a random number that is placed in every found record utilizing and then . Whala the found set is shown in this same tab with a scrollable portal. Problem: anything over 2,000 records shows a noticeable slowdown because of the replace command.

Does anyone have a better solution to show a found set in a tab? Thanks in advance.

Wouldn't a self-join relationship based on a global field that holds your search criteria work better?

Can you make a simple example of what you're tring to accomplish?

Would this work?
