I have two databases. One with Contacts and the other to keep track of
my correspondence with those contacts (i.e. phone call, letter, etc.).
I have a relationship between the Individuals and their corresonding
phone and mail contacts via a serial number.

(with a pre-done script) pop the portal row up into it's own editing
window. The script is just a "go to related record" and some window
stuff. Of course this all works fine until I try to edit the record.

bills by pdf ing as much as I can. But my Send mail script step is causing
me problems.
This is how it works.

If someone has any suggestions to this question I would greatly
appreciate it.
