Portal Field to Pop Up Window

[AnnieT]

Hi, I have a table called "projects" and a layout for it on which there is a portal to a join table that allows the user to select a "role" related to the project and then assign a "talent" to that role and project.

From this portal I want to click on a talent name and have a pop up window show a shorter version of that talent's full profile.

However, because of the issue with windows (operating system) and pop up windows - how a pop up one resizes your iniital window if it is maximized - I've opted to create a "fake" pop up window by designing a layout that looks like the initial window with a "pop up window" on top of it.

On this new layout with the pop up window, I'm having a problem getting the correct talent data to show.

I am currently using "projects" as my source table and merge fields from the "talents" table to display the specific talent fields such as phone, location, etc. Since there are multiple talents associated with a project I'm assuming this is why it only shows me the first talent's information no matter whose name I click on. Here are my thoughts:

1) That a second table occurence of "talents" might be needed but I'm not sure where or if this will solve the problem.

2) That maybe I should be using "talents" as my source table...but then I have to figure out how to keep the background (initial window)the same (showing the portal that lists all talent on a project and the role they are assigned).

I also don't necessarily want a found set of all the talent related to the project, just that one whose name is clicked.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
