Use Goto with a field ID value?

[davidtraveller]

Hello. I have FM Pro 8.5 and I'm trying to customize a FileMaker application (Donations 2.0). There is a portal with a list of rows (called "actions") and a button on each row. An "action" can belong to a Contact, an Organization, an Event, etc. The action record contains ID key fields for Contact, Organization, etc.

My question is: how can I go to the appropriate detail screen for one of these related records by using just the ID field value? Do I have to use a Find and then a Show All (because I don't want to limit the related detail screen to a found set)?

Thanks

David

Look up the 'Go to related record' (otherwise known as GTRR) script step in the on line help. That will be your starting point for what you want to do

As I said, there is no direct relationship between the action TO and the various other TOs I want to get to, so the GTRR doesn't work.

... Get related records from a related to but show using a layout based on an appropriate TO?
