Hi I am relatively a newb with file maker and I apologize if I should know the answer to this question or if my database is way out of wack.

Is it possible to have a calculated field that is a combination of a field on the current record and a field on the related portal record? And if it is possible how can I do it? Or do I have to redesign the database.

Yes, it is possible. Assuming you want a different result for each child record (what you call "related portal record"), define the calculation field in the child table, and use the parent field in the calculation formula.

and what if it isn't a 1:n relationship, but a m:n? (Full explanation of my problem in my post)
