jimpres Posted October 13, 2000 Share Posted October 13, 2000 Can you have a relationship to a relationship? I have a portal showing item,model and part number all coming from one related file. The item and model are fields in the related file. The part is a relationship to a third file. When I add the part into the portal only one part shows for all items, and models. Is it because its a relationship to a relationship? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiveOak Posted October 17, 2000 Share Posted October 17, 2000 You can't have a relationship based upon a relationship but you can display data from a related file several relationships away. For example: File 1 File 2 File 3 File 1 displays records in a portal from File 2. File 2 displays fields from File 3 that you want to view in File 1. To do this, create a calculated field in File 2 defined as: Part Number (calculation) = File 3:: Part Number. This new field is now "native" to File 2 and can be displayed in the File 1 portal. You cannot, however, have a relationship in File 1 with the field "Part Number" on the right side. "Part Number" in File 2 is unstored and can't be indexed. -bd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
