Hi, i think this should be fairly simple, but cant seem to figure it out...

I have a portal which displays some data from a related table... the problem im having is that i am able to edit the data in the portal but i dont want to be able to. I only want to click on the row and goto the related record to edit there (this is working fine).

I do not have the Allow creation boxes checked in my relationship, nor do i have the Allow deletion box checked in my portal setup.. Not sure what im missing.

Thanks in advance for any direction you can offer.

Put a transparent button over the portal row. Make it run your goto related record.

Ralph's suggestion is fine and it will work, however....

If the fields in the portal are set to allow entry in browse mode, and exist in the tabbing sequence then it would still be possible to "tab" into the fields.

Set the fields to deny entry in browse as well as Ralph's button.

If you need to perform a find in the portal then that just needs the button reduced to a small square on the portal row - you would need to allow entry in find mode.

Your thoughts have been most helpful. I see the dilemma with just a button allowing entry via tabbing in. I don,t need entry in any mode at this point so i wont have to get to fancy with the finer details. Thanks again for the insight... got me on my way very well.
