I've got a Client table with a portal to a Client Address table; it is linked by ClientID and AddressType; I limit the AddressType to three radio button options on the layout: Home, Work, or Other. The portal displays only one row on the layout. This way, when I click on the radio button AddressType, the portal displays the correct address, and if one of the addresses doesn't yet exist, it allows me to create the new address for the selected AddressType.

My problem: I believe I am having a "commit" problem, as it seems that a new portal record does not commit unless I click somewhere outside any of the fields on the layout. The effect of this problem is that if I enter a new address (e.g., Home), then immediately select another Address Type (e.g., Work) to enter another address for that client, then click back to the Home address, the Home address does not show up in my portal. Only when I click somewhere else on the layout does the data show up in my portal, and this is a bit annoying.

Any ideas about how to get around this so that my portal record commits right away? Or am I even barking up the right tree?

Thanks!

Create a button ( circle, without line and fill ) on radio button and attach script that includes setting radio button field and commit record/request step.

Thanks, DukeS!

That worked great. I did have to create the buttons large enough to cover the entire radio button field, lest I click on the field and not the button(s) and send the button(s) into the background, no longer accessible.

Thanks again.
