Limiting data on portals

I have an 'Employee Leave Record' file which fields appear in a 'Employee Records" portal. I want to be able to limit the records appearing in the portal to a certain year. Right now all related fields to the parent record appear in the portal and I want to have the option of only seeing records for a specific year.

I'm assuming that the relationship is based on an Employee_ID field of some sort.

Create a field in your Employees database that is a text calculation:

Employee_ID & "-" & Year( Status( CurrentDate ) )

Create a field in your Employee Leave database that is a text calculation:

Employee_ID & "-" & Year( Date_To_Base_Portal_On )

Then relate these two fields and view that new relationship in the portal.

Could I make the YEAR(status(currentdate)) portion of the concatenation a gobal field with pop up menu for different year selections?
