Roger,
If your button is in the portal row, then when it's set to run your
script, the Commit record steps exits the portal row so the GTTR
makes no sense (whereas when your button simply executes the GTTR
script step it'll work because you have manually committed the record
and effectively re-enterd the portal row by clicking the button)
If the button is outside the portal .... well what is tour GTTR
referencing?
cheers
Tom

Yes this did fix the "record cannot be modified error" By moving
the cursor out of the fields in the portal(clicking anywhere on the
layout outside the portal). I then can GTRR and continue editing.
I think a commit record step before you GTRR would also do the trick.
I also discovered another problem. I had/have the button set up to
Go To Related Record. This works fine.
Someone had mentioned that it was not a good idea to use a button
to directly run a script step. That is was best to create a script
that will GTRR. Then have the button run the script. This way I
could also have the commit step prior to the GTRR command and it
would take care of the initial problem. I tried this. When the
button was set to run a script, nothing would happen. I would not
be taken to the related record. The screen would "kind of refresh"
and remain on the main layout with portal. I then just created a
script that simply ran the GTRR script step. Had the button run
the script. Again, nothing happened.
The only difference between the two methods is the button action.
In the successful event, the button simply GTRR. When I have the
button run a script to GTRR, it does nothing.
Any suggestions?
Roger
