Hi,

Is it possible to have 'New Record' targeted to a specific table,
instead of the one table associated with the current layout?

I have a layout with data mixed from two tables, as i think would be
common for a relational database, and I want to insert a new row into
one of the subordinate tables without switching to a layout where that
table is the primary table.

Possible in FM8.5?

thanks
woody

Two ways:

Create the new record in a Portal to the related table. This is the
easiest way.

or

Write a script to do it. The script would switch to the related table
layout, create the new record, populate the fields as you specify, in
the script, then switch back again to the original layout. The switch of
layout would not be visible to the user unless you include a pause step
in the script.
