misterious portal disapearance

[emailaff]

Hi!

I'm new to FM Pro and i'm having a problem that when i try to create a new Portal in my Workflow layout, it suddenly desapears!

I make all the necessary connections and relations but when i change from layout mode to browse mode it desapears!

Please, help me! I'll be glad!

Thanks!

Double check your pen settings (pen pattern, pen width, pen color)

Unfortunately it does not have anything related to the width of my pen or color. It simply disapears. But thank you very much for your help!

I'm still trying, but i think i have done something wrong.

Jesus! I can't discover what is that!

Please, somebody help me!

Rats! I wish you would've posted your solution since I'm having roughly the same problem: I type the text into the portal fields but once the record is committed the text disappears from the portal! Strangely, the child record dutifully records the inputted data so I don't have a clue what's happening. :S

You have some mechanism in place that modifies the match field of the child record when it's committed. Maybe a lookup, or a triggered script?

[Rich S]

Good suggestion, Comment, but there aren't any look-ups or triggered scripts that rely on the problematic tables. As suggested to me by another developer, I checked the indexing and it appears to function correctly as well.

A few of the other portals, that are set up identically to the problematic ones, _do_ work as they're supposed to.

I suspect that the file is corrupted since it has endured many a Recover and computer crash; the past has finally caught up with it. :S

Why don't you make a clone of the file, delete everything (tables, fields, layouts) that has no bearing on the issue, and post it here?

I'd like to, but the owner of the database said "No dice." C'est la vie...
