goto related record thru a button on a portal row

[Mariano]

I have seen this done in the Business Tracker database, but I can't seem to figure out how it works.

I have a table with a portal displaying all open material orders for a construction job. I want to make each row in the portal a button that will take me to that particular related record. It doesnt seem like this should be hard, but I cant figure out what to do!

any suggestions?

Thanks

Hi Mariano,

You would attach to portal, Go To Related. You would attach going to the related record (in this case SAME record) in Open Materials but NOT check 'show only related'

The jump would put you on that specific portal record on whatever Open Materials layout you wish.

im not sure i am following exactly what you are saying...

I tried simply just using specify button on the portal, using goto related record.

But that only makes the portal area in between the fields an active button, and those spaces are very small, and it also only works for the first row in the portal.

what did i do wrong?

ah nevermind, i put the button on the actualy field and its working now!
