Hi,

I often set up a portal with a calc field in the portal row which returns e.g. a trash icon if the portal row exists and a blank (or plus icon) if the row is empty. This just adds to the user interface as I don't like the trash can icon sitting there in an empty portal row.

I store the images in a global field with x number of repetitions and use a case statement to retrieve the right one i.e. in the portal row I have a calc field which returns a container with the following formula:

Case (

IsEmpty(kpContactDataID);

GetRepetition ( GLOBALS::GraphicsContainer ; 4 ) ; GetRepetition ( GLOBALS::GraphicsContainer ; 3 )

)

This works fine in Filemaker Pro, but the containers return empty in Go. Is this a Go limitation?

Thanks

Chris

I've got this working now, it seemed to be just a cache issue. Closing Go down and the host, then restarting both seemed to fix the problem.

Cache issue? How are you setting the globals? Are you relying on them to be populated bcs they were in single-user mode. I don't rely on that, instead I explicitly set them (usually in a File Open Script).
