OK what am I doing wrong. I am just starting into "instant web publishing. Using a scheme that renders layouts. WIN98SE/FMP5 v3 and latest Web Companion update. All works fine EXCEPT...I can't see items in portal when I do a search and find one record. If I show all from browser, I can then see portal contents but when I go back to viewing one record, portal contents are gone

Instant publishing has it limits... and I guess you just found one of them. Most people move on to custom publishing promptly.

But why do the protals look ok when I show all records? What is going on there?

I also have a BIG question about custom Web Publishing....there is little documentation about it. Do I have to buy Unlimited before I get documentation?

Moving thread....

The documentation is in Developer.

In addition to cdml (a reference is below) you will need to know html. If you don't write html, you need an html editing application with which you are intimately familiar.
