There is a way to do this using GetLayoutObjectattribute() to
calculate the original pixel position of the portal row and then (on
return) doing some calculations to reinstate the portal as it was -
it's not exactly 'easy' but if Jason's 'new workspace' method isn't
going to work I can post the details

I have a working portal with a few hundred lines of data in an FM9
database. The Portal has 24 lines and on each line there is a
button that runs a script to create an associated record.
When the script returns it goes back to the same record in the
portal but the record is now the bottom line in the open portal. I
have been able to use Go to Portal Row to move this up one or two
rows but I have not been able to come up with a way to record or
return to the original position.
What I would like to do is return to the original position with in
viewing area of the portal. So if the selected record is the
middle line of the the portal when the script comes back it is
still the middle line.
The current method works and is adequate for sequential data entry
top to bottom, but it is a bit disconcerting to the user when the
moving up an down with in the portal to have the active line jump
to the bottom of the portal after the button has been pressed.
Does anyone have an easy way to do this?
