Extra Portal Row

[Richard Corso]

I have a portal with a gField above and a button next to it that creates a new record. This works just fine, my problem is that the portal shows a empty row that is not needed. Is there away to turn off the empty row?

Turn OFF Allow Create in the relationship btw parent and child.

Thanks, that worked. But now I can not create a new record in the portal.

you would have to script the whole process of creating that record. ie: set variable (id from your current table), go to layout, new record request, set field (the variable into your key field), go to layout (original layout)

"button next to it that creates a new record'

and how does it do so? See Linndgberg's post.

That was it. Thank both of you for your replay and help.

Ok, some how I mist something. I did as Linndgberg's suggested and it works just fine. Except if there is not any records in the portal to start with. :-(

That empty row in the portal is Filemaker's way of saying you CAN INPUT data into this row and create a record in the related table. That record does not exist until you input data - then a record is created in the related table.

My point is - don't look at it as an "extra" row - it is a signal you have activated "create record in related table" in your relationship.

Good Luck,
