Using selection portals inside tabs in IWP

[Jim Lah]

I have a database with a number of selection Portals held within Tabs. The database works fine on the client - both on OSX and XP - but doesn't work on IWP - either from the client or from a server.

The intent is to select particular records within portals and display further information on that record within the current layout. The function seems to work fine if I use separate layouts for each view - but putting the Portel onto Tabs seems to prevent the records from being selected in IWP.

Any clues (appart from rebuilding the database on separate layouts I hope)?

Ah, fixed the problem myself. I was using a global container as a button in a portal. Apparently IWP doesn't select the right record in the container using this method. Overlaying with a transparent button seems to fix the problem.
