Page Scrolling

[dougL]

Hi, I am wanting to create a box with info that can scroll, like what the portal tool does with scrolling except with fields from the current table instead of a related one. How would I go about this?

 

thanks!

Use a self-join.  Create a new TO of your table named ScrollTable in the Relationships tab of the Manage Database dialog, and relate it to the original table with an X relationship. ( YourTable::<any field> X ScrollTable::<any field> )

 

Create a portal to ScrollTable.

 

The X relationship would show all records.  You can change the relationship to show a desired subset of records if you'd like.

Thanks for the response Doughemi.

That works for the scroll but what I want to scroll isn't records but a list of fields. They won't all fit on the page so I want to scroll down the form.

I guess I wasn't clear in my original msg. I want it to scroll like a portal but still be a form.
