This problem has been solved, thanks to all the help on this forum
plus some testing!
To show my Household record, a portal with one or more Persons, and
another portal with grandchild tables for each person, the solution
was to have a global PersonID field in Household, and relate all
Grandchildren to the HouseholdID and the global PersonID in the
Household table.
Then clicking on a button in the Person portal sets the global field
and goes to the Grandchild tables.
Now a question: I have found myself, during testing, entering data
into the Grandchild table without first clicking in the button!!!
It “works”, but adds my data to the wrong Grandchild!
Any ideas how to prevent this?
BTW I turn over to my user today. Many additions still expected!
I think I would consider not letting your users enter data into portal
rows. Create a new window to add information?
It gets complex but you control the links.
