I am using FMP 5.5v2 in OSX and have noticed on occassion that after entering an record in a portal file that the entry is invisible when viewed through the portal. I don't think I've ever come across this in OS9 versions.

Example: Customer & Invoice files-after adding a new invoice through an invoice script, it is not seen in the portal from the customer file until after closing the customer record and reopening it as though the portal is not updating its contents until after the customer record is closed and re-opened.

Update of portals after all sorts of changes that affect the contents is problematic in OS 9 also. We resort to forcing an update using "Enter Preview Mode" followed by "Enter Browse Mode" (or changing to another record and back). Sorry, there is no neat answer. Most database programs don't even attempt live update.
