I wasn't sure how far you got but it's good to know that we look on similar results now. > If I: > > 1. Right-click on it in details view, > 2. Choose "Layout" from the context menu, > 3.

Perhaps that's because I made an explicit avail::days_id to days::day_id relationship in the availability table. However, I can't get the days combobox inside the "remote portal layout" of the people details view to work. That is, when I click on a day field in that column I can briefly see a combobox appearing but I cant make a selection. I can't remember having seen that feature in any of the Glom example files though. I am quickly going to summarize your use case, from my point of view: 1. Have a people table and a days table with a N:N relationship represented by a common join table, avail (with additional fields for start/finish time for a given name and day). 2. Display the joined view of people and days in the people details view, using a remote portal layout showing avail. 3. Allow editing of records via the remote portal in the people details view, which shows as a triple of (days::day, avail::start, avail::end). On editing records in the remote portal it should not be possible to select a day that does not exist in the days table. regards, Michael _______________________________________________ glom-devel-list mailing list glom-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/glom-devel-list
