I am currently setting up a StudentTeacherClasses database using FP.5.

Working with 5 files: StudentTeacherClassesRegistrationCourses.

In Student layout I have a Portal from Registration which shows the

Class ID & Teacher Name. I want to show Course ID & Course Name also, but

I am not able to figure out why I can't. I'm guessing it is in the relationship, I am stumped. Thanks for you help!

You need to describe for us what a record denotes in "Registration", "Courses", and "Classes". I'm afraid we have no magic to understand what you are trying to do except your description. In database design, very little is really obvious.

Sorry I did not mean to simplify this "nawing" problem. Sometimes I wish I had some Magic!! There is so much to learn about FMP. However, I am developing a "fond" bond with it. But it can sure frustrate a person.

OK Here I go. I am a newbe.
