Anyone had experience trying to get IWP to display or even have access to related data via scripts from external file references? I can build a portal or reference related data from related data from tables within the same file but if the relationship is built on an external file then the relationship fails and no data is displayed or returned.

This appears to be the case with FMS8 and FMS9 v02.

I just wanted to make sure I wasn't doing somethign wrong or missing something simple.

Did you read the IWP documentation?

There are some limitations in IWP, how about this one...(from the docs)

"Web browsers can’t display a calculated value if the calculation field uses values from other files. To

display calculated values, the calculation field must use values from the same file (including values from

related tables in the same file). "

Additionally you need to enable the IWP accesses and privileges in all files that are being used in the solution. If the external file is not set up for IWP then any related connections will fail.
