MelJ Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 I'm sitting on "Layout A" which is showing records from "Table A". I would like to create a record in "Table B" without having to leave "Layout A". Any chance of that happening? Thanks, Mel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raybaudi Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 Can you put a portal that shows records of Table B inside that Layout A ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MelJ Posted April 27, 2007 Author Share Posted April 27, 2007 I'm afraid I don't have the room. Is it possible to place one portal on top of another? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raybaudi Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 For example you can use a tab panel... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comment Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 You CAN create a related record "remotely" using a relationship with creation of related records allowed. You can do this manually (using a portal) or by a script. But the requirement not to leave the parent layout makes little sense to me. Where will you input the data for the related record? Suppose it's in global fields - well, a script can freeze the window, load the parent record ID into a variable, go to the child table, create a new related record, set its fields, commit the record and come back without the user knowing anything about it.

mhari Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 Hey! It' possible through the script, 1. First, create a script to move to the table b 2. Then do whataver the things there, through the script 3. then move again to table a's layout Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
