misfeature involving multiple relationships between the same files

The wrong items show up in one of the portals. We are using FileMaker 6.

Background: this is for our auction database. People buy stuff in the live auction and in the silent auction. So we set up a relationship between the file of bidders and the file of items for sale. But we want to print the live purchases and the silent purchases separately. So I set up two relationships between the two files. The items file has a field for live winner and a field for silent winner, and the two relationships are based on these two fields. (Any one item will have an entry in only one field.)

But what shows up in the Silent portal is several copies of one of the live purchases. The correct number of copies, one for each silent purchase. But the data visible in the portal is not correct. (The fields that count the silent purchases and add up their dollar amounts -- those are correct.)

Amos :

Make sure the fields in the portal come from the same relationship as the portal.
