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
