I have a portal window in my application. One of the fields among the records (rows) in the portal is a service cost field from my Service table. Outside of the portal on the same layout is a Total Service Cost field (Summary field based on Total of "Service Cost"). When I delete a row I have to go to another record and back again before my Total Service Cost field displays the updated totals. How can I see the updates as they happen without going to anther record? thanks again.

I think that the Total Service Cost should not be a summary field, but rather a calc field in the Parent, sum ( portalTO::ServiceCost).
