I'm trying to use this command in a [fmp-portal] setup to create a link to the related database found in the portal. The instructions were sent to me by another helpful forums member. Now, I would think in order for the link to work, it would have to reference the child database. But it appears that the [fmp-linkrecid] command is returning the parent database as the -db parameter. Here is what I am doing.

[FMP-Portal: StudentInformation] <a href="[FMP-linkrecid: format=db2.html, layout=RegisteredCourses]">[FMP-Field:StudentInformation::StudID]</a> [FMP-Field: StudentInformation::SLastName]<BR>[/fmp-portal]

The portal is located in a layout in the database CustomerSupportReps.fp3

The data in the portal comes from the database StudentInformation.fp3. I was hoping the linrecid command would return the portal database StudentInformation.fp3. Instead, I get the CustomerSupportReps.fp3 database instead. Any Ideas? I need to get this database up and running really soon, so any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Follow up-here is the formatted link that is returned for the a href code

<a href="FMPro?-db=customersupportreps.fp3&-format=db2.html&-lay=registeredcourses&CSRid=1000&-max=2147483647&-recid=1&-find=">

One more thing! The "registeredcourses" is a layout in the "StudentInformation.fp3" database. I get this error message when I click on the link

"...here is the formatted link that is returned for the a href code <a href="FMPro?-db=customersupportreps.fp3&-format=db2.html&-lay=registeredcourses&CSRid=1000&-max=2147483647&-recid=1&-find=">"

and

"One more thing! The "registeredcourses" is a layout in the "StudentInformation.fp3" database."

Then your link should be accessing "-db=StudentInformation.fp3"
