Multiple Layout Questions

[scolesm]

Hey there,

I'm working on making a database of products for a company. I can't get it to end up displaying properly though.

Firstly, my portals go across pages, a no-no. I've grouped them in with the parts that they should stay with, but this still doesn't prevent separation over pages. I've looked, but couldn't find out. How do I accomplish this?

Secondly, because it uses portals, it also slides. However, the first slide never seems to work properly (the second part doesn't slide up far enough) unless there is a certain amount of data in the portal. Is there a reason for this?

Lastly, in looking at my example (sorry I had to clear it and fill it up again) is there any other advice on the organization of this? It's my first actual Filemaker db and I'm not sure if it's optimized.

Thanks in advance,

M
