One more glass Steve and you may attain true clarity.

Peter,

The line from the starting table occurrence (the layout) to the  
destination table occurrence (portal content) is not what your portal  
wants it to be. Now if you're sure the portal is set right, that  
leaves your relationship graph. It's one of the two right? You ruled  
out calculations evaluating from the wrong context.

I'd start troubleshooting by placing another (temporary) table  
occurrence in the graph that is what I think it should be, then bring  
a related field into an unused area of the parent's layout. I'd expect  
to see the first related child record's data. Then a simple 6 line  
portal over that. A serial field or some other identifiable data from  
the related records would be my choice. Kind of a take it from the top  
approach.

I've certainly fought this one before.

Geoff
