Hi,

I'm just learning FileMaker Pro about 1 month. I have some difficulties on creating a portal.

After I created a portal in layout mode, I cannot type anything in browse mode, is my steps of creating portal wrong?

My steps of creating portal as follow:

1. click to layout mode

2. click "insert" on the menu bar

3. clike "portal"

4. select the "show related records from"

5. click "ok"

Thanks.

Crystal

You must also set the relationship to allow creation of related records.

Go to the relationships graphs and check the settings for the "child" table.

Hi IdealData,

Thanks for your answer. But I've set a relationship of my related records. please see the following image.

I'd like to create a portal for the buyer purchase history. I can create a portal, but cannot key-in the data. Is my relationship wrong?

Thank you!!

I know you have the relationship, otherwise you could not have a portal, but I said ALLOW CREATION.

You must open the relationship to set the markers.

I can create a portal, also can key-in the data now!

THANKS VERY MUCH, IdealData!!

But, I have one more question. The question is why the data in the portal is duplicate? That means when I key-in the data on the second, third row in portal, it will automatically appear the first row data. Do I set the allow creation wrong??

THANKS!

Why do you need Date, Amount and Invoice number as the key fields?

Surely you want to use the Membership number to match your HISTORIES table.

Create a Membership number field in the HISTORIES table and then match Membership number between both tables.

I can fixed the problem using your method and create a portal and data successfully. Thanks again!!
