I have the global value "B::ASeq Socket" displayed in the body part of Table B. There are 12 records in Table B, and each of them shows "1" as the value of "B::ASeq Socket" when I click the appropriate button in Record #1 of Table A. When I go to Record #2 of Table A and click the same button, all records in Table B show "2" for "B::ASeq Socket". When I turned off global storage for that field (thus clearing the value in it) and then turned it back on again, all Table B records showed the field as empty. Nonetheless, regardless of the value in that field (including none at all), every single record in Table A still shows me a portal displaying all 12 Table B values. If anyone's interested in examining this in more depth, I'd be happy to share the file. It's tiny. Contact me directly at [email protected] to get a copy of your very own.
