Hi again. Okay, my latest thing is implementing a technique described
in "Using FMP 8" and the "White Paper for Novices" that allows you to
select a portal row (a related record) and then display & edit the
contents of that record outside of the portal, as well as create a new
related record of the table that is displayed in the portal.

"Using FMP" sorta glosses over it, and it's not in the CD examples. It
seems that they are saying that you want to create a new table of the
type displayed in the portal, whose fields are the i/o panel. Once the
record is committed, it is copied into the original table. There are
also some bits on maintaining the correct row hilites. An example would
really help, as it's not clear (to me) how to implement this properly.
Anybody got one? Thx.

Put a pushbutton in the portal row to Go to related record. That will
take you to the record represented in the portal in its own layout of
your design and selection.

Aha! I found the example be the person who wrote the 'Whte Paper' -
it's called 'Viewer Table Demo.
