Hello all:

I need something similar to a checkbox set, but with three coumns of
checkboxes.

Here is an example of what I want

Part Number Exists Entered Damaged
0169-571-00 x x
0169-572-00 x x
0169-579-00 x x

Part number set here is given. The rest of the columns change from
record to record.

I was thinking of creating a portal and inputting into the related
table four fields, the first being the part number.

Then each time a record is created the portal displays the set of part
numbers through the portal. User then only modifies the rest of the
fields to create a checkbox set effect.

However, I could not figure out a way of populating the part number
fiield with the set of predetermined numbers.

I wonder if I can copy a certain record --say Record 111-- each time a
new record is created, The Record 111 would be blank for all the
fields except for the portal, which would have all the part numbers in
place. I could not see among the script functions "copy Record 1111 to
the record being created" type of function.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Sam

By "function" above I mean "script step". Too late in the day, and I
am forgetting the proper terminology.

Need to understand the relationship structure and layout structure,
which you do not explain. It would also help to get an overall
understanding of the business purpose of what you are trying to do, as
there may be a more effective way to do it than the approach you are
taking, whatever that is.
