making a portal result link to the record

[thompm65]

Hello,

I am using FM 6 and am trying to figure out how to make items in a portal link to their record when they are clicked on. In other words, I have a portal that shows related records (names). I would like to be able to click on one of the names in the portal and be taken to that record.

Can someone tell me how to do this in beginner's language?

Thanks, MT

Go to Related Record. Make the field with the name in the portal a button.

If you are working in 6 and if my memory serves me right (which is a BIG if), what mr vodka just suggested will move the pointer in the related file to the related record.

What you have to do then is perform a script in the external file that will bring that files window to prominence and change to a layout suitable for displaying your chosen, related record.

This is done by using the perform script (external) and must be the last line of your go to related record script in the first file
