Using Portals on the web is pretty tricky. And how they work depends on which version of FMP you are using. To get what you want, try developing custom HTML pages instead of using Instant Web Publishing.

If you are using FMP4.0, go the the FileMaker.com website, and under Support look for articles #104644 and #104782. If you are using FMP 5.0 look for articles #106549 and #107206. And read the FileMaker Pro user and developer guides.

Good Luck!

I seem to think that this was a bug that has been fixed. Check your version and patch level of FMP. Download fixes from www.filemaker.com

I have portals with buttons that go to the related record. Everything seems to work fine when I'm using FM locally, but when I use Instant Web Publishing FM goes to the wrong records when the user clicks on the button. I'm a novice to FM, so I'm sure it's something I'm doing (or not doing) but I'll be darned if I can figure it out.

Any help would be appreciated.
