help to add Records in a record

[LukasB]

Hallo,

I've been trying this for four days now with no luck! Is there a way to add a new set of records in a record? What I want to achieve is to have a set of different projects. Every project is a record. What I want to do is to add the emails(with descriptions of users etc) related to each project. Each e mail must have a different record since there are many emails related to each project. I hope I'm making my self clear here. Please help me with this, any tip could be useful!

Thank you in advance,

Lukas

Are you talking about portals ?

If add a record in a record, basically we are talking about portals. Correct me if I am wrong.

since I am a beginer, I really cannot say, but that's how I'm going to keep trying then. I haven't yet explored portals deeply so that's what i'm going to do now....

Thanks Fei!!

Looking at portals, I understand that it's basicaly a field where I can see information of records placed on another field. I'll give you another example on what I want to achieve. Every project (one record each) has some info that never changes (people who work on the project, client, etc).On the same project (record) I want to add dayly, attached e-mails, info, etc, for every day that passes by (every email with field filled with information, could be one record). Is a portal the right way to do this? People, please let me know if I make any sense....

Thank you,

First I would suggest you do some reading on developing a relational database. There;s some good info here:

Read the "White Papers"and "Database Design" topics first.

What it sounds like you want to do is track all emails associated with a project. If that is the case you should have a separate table "Emails" or whatever and relate it to Projects. Then set up a portal within Projects for emails.
