Deleting portal row

[danjacoby]

It used to be simple. Just put a button in the portal row and program it to "Delete Record". Then I upgraded to v5, and it doesn't work. Nor does the "Delete Portal Row", because you have to tell the script which portal row. I just want to be able to click the button in the portal row I want to delete, and delete it.

What works?

I use a button in the portal row that runs a script:

code:

---

Allow User Abort [off]

Delete Portal Row []

Exit Record/Request

---

This works fine for me with FMP 5.0 and FMP 5.5. Juat make sure the button is completely within the portal row.

I dunno, Vaughan, it ain't working.

Make sure the "Allow deletion of Related Records" option for the Portal is checked (Double-Click the Portal in the Layout...) (Note added to my previous post...)

This works fine, and is simple. You don't even need a script.

Make a button, and choose "Delete Portal Row" (options: with or without dialog). And yes, make sure the button is completely in the Portal in the layout. Make sure the relationship for the portal is valid check the sort order for missing fields, etc.)

Thanx muchly, Rumble! It's really another "duh" situation for someone (like me) who considers himself more than a little knowledgeable about this software.
