Grid Layout - viewing records as a grid

[mpau]

Hi All,

I'm creating a project management database where the relationship structure is Category (parent), Project (child), ToDo (grandchild). Each category is a record, each project a record, etc. For sake of navigation, I'd like to create a grid layout where users see what is essentially a "home page" grid of categories (categoryName fields are all that need to be shown), 6 across and an infinite number of rows down. Users click on a category and are taken to another grid of projects that belong to that category. They can then click on a project to see details and todos etc.

I can make the navigation work if I forget about the grid and use the list layout. But I would like to do this as a grid. I'm stumped. It seems like a grid layout should be an option. I'm fine with portals, merge fields, anything that works to get the records to show up as a grid on one page.

Anyone out there have any thoughts or suggestions?

Thanks!!!

You could potentially use 6 portals, one for each category with 6 relationships but each would be individual and have independent number of records from each other.
