Thanks Steve
I'm typing into a text field. In this case the portal to the related
table contains only
a text field, two date fields, and a check box that are visible. The
'person' ID number,
current record flag (yes/no) and the concatenation of the two (the
match field)
are hidden beneath the four entry fields.
"Allow creation of related records" does not work if the match field
is a calculation. (Obvious if you consider the situation; in order for
auto-creation to work, Filemaker has to set the match field – but a
calculation cannot be set.)
I'm not 100% certain, because I rarely use this functionality, but I
think you can get around the problem by using multiple (two in this
case) relational criteria – one matching the person ID and the other
matching the flag – instead of the single calculated field.
