Hi again. I am not trying to count across records. I am actually trying to count within one record. Each fish collection is a record. I may have 100 fish in one record. Unfortunately, I have not figured out how to total columns in a portal within a record. I want to know, withing one record, how many of my fish I caught are bottom feeders. With that total number, I can calculate "benthic fluvial specialists". Any help would be great! Is this even possible within one record? STabit Perhaps in this case a repeating field can help. Normally I would advise against yusing them, but in this case it might just do what you need. Create a number field many repetitions as you need. MyField Number;repeating Create a calculation cMyTotal <number ; Sum ( MyField ) when you have filled all the repetitions you need you see the total of all the fish in the cMyTotal field Hpe this helps Keep well, Ursus |

that are all located on the same table. Originally I could type in a
genus species and automatically the family and common name would be
populated (all in the same layout).
I need one of the "auto populating" fields to auto populate in another
layout that belongs to a different table. Everytime I try to create a
new record in the second layout, and wait for that one field to
populate with info I KNOW is in there from the other layout, it just
remains blank. It is driving me crazy!
Do I need a portal, or can I use a repeating field? Once the info
starts showing up, I will need to total it just like I did the other
repeating fields we discussed.
