selection portal or tab panel?

I created an inner join relation and put my portal on the form.
How do I add a button that will goto the selected record in another form?

I tried onAction event for a field and got nothing when i clicked the field in the portal.

I tried the onFocusGained event and got my dialog to pop up but then the app locked up.
I am going to try to debug the dialog to see if it is faulty code there…

In filemaker this was just goto related record, show only related records…

Is this the correct method for a selection from a portal?

Can it also be done with a tab less tab panel? Would that be better?

Thanks

Hi charles,

make that field uneditable. Then onAction will work.

I had same kind of requirements, i had implemented tab panels.

Thanks
