Is there any way to display portals horizontally?

[Bruenor]

One of my clients insists on having the portal display the related records horizonally across the screen. Since i know that the users will not look at more than 31 related records at once (one for each day of the month), i could get around the problem by defining 31 relationships based on calculated keys. However, this would seem to be an ungraceful solution to the problem, as the portal naturally displays the correct related records with only one relationship.

Suggestions anyone?

The 31 portal method is the only way to do this. A bit messy, but it will work.

Or, have your client flip his monitor on its side
