Hi Rowland with a 'W' Since your button is in a portal, the only method I know is to make the button appear in a graphic calc field conditional on there being data in any of the exposed fields in the portal. Don't use the "delete portal row" option for the button, but run a script to delete the portal row. Exit the script before the delete portal row script step if there isn't any data in any of the exposed fields in the portal.
If you choose to change the cursor to a hand, it will still show the hand in the empty row, but the button shouldn't show and the script won't work.
