LiveOak Posted October 1, 2001 Share Posted October 1, 2001 The only way to insert a list view into a "specific area" of a layout IS to use a portal. Otherwise a list view is a layout type, not a object that can be placed on a layout. -bd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rigsby Posted October 1, 2001 Share Posted October 1, 2001 To do this you need a self-relationship. The list fields DO NOT have to come from another file.Then you can drop a portal into the layout. Rigsby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rigsby Posted October 4, 2001 Share Posted October 4, 2001 I’m not sure I understand what you mean, but if you have one file and want to display all the records in that file in a portal (Like a list) then you need to use a one-to-all self relationship. This means you have to create a calculating field, for example, set it to always return “1” as its value, then create your relationship based on this field. Thus, as every record has the value “1”, every record is linked to every record. Ok? Rigsby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
