| Hi Simon Thank you for posting this CF. I couldn't get it to work in FM14 but your concept was so elegant that I've slightly modified the code and it seems to work for me. The changes I've made are; including totalRows in the parameter set (so it is determined once rather than for each iteration) and including the 'getField' function in the getNthRecord element. So, my version of your CF is now: Case ( Counter > totalRows ; "0" ; ID = GetNthRecord ( GetField ( Field ) ; Counter ) ; Counter ; Portal_Row_Number ( ID ; Field ; totalRows ; Counter + 1 ) ) I couldn't understand the part of the description regarding the requirement for the TO relationship definition, but the modified code seems (so far!) to work on any portal without any further TO being required. All I send the CF is; 'getfield ( the PrimaryKey field )' for the current portal row, 'getfieldname ( PrimaryKey field)', the number of rows of the current portal relationship, & '1'. |
