filtering from a portal row

[aussie]

i have created a portal of customer_contacts for a customer. the customer_contacts row displays name, phone and email.

i want to be able to click on the portal row and open the customer_contact form for the contact that has been clicked on.

any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

You can paste a clear button over the portal row (just a box with the line and fill set to clear) and attach a script to it. The script in your main file (attached to the button) will look like:

Allow User Abort (off)

Set Error Capture (on)

Go to Related Records(Your Relationship, Show only related records)

Perform Script(External, <script in your related file> )

The script in you related file might look like:

Allow User Abort (off)

Set Error Capture (on)

Go to Layout(<whichever layout you wish> )

Zoom (100%) <--- This stuff is just to make sure the layout appears the correct size, status are is shown or hidden, etc.

Toggle Status Area (hide)

Toggle Window (maximize)
