Hey gang, Happy New Year to everyone here!

In FileMaker Advisor mag, Doug Gardner wrote about portals. In the article
he included a neat section on a Layout List Portal. It had one utility
table called LayoutName and one calculated field called LayoutNameCalc. It
was pretty simple : GetValue (LayoutNames (Get (FileName)) ; Get
(RecordNumber)

Add to that one Cartesian relationship and it was a nice developer tool to
see all layouts in a simple portal.

My issue is as follows, when you rename the actual File you lose the portal.
The only way to get it working again is to compact the file. Once you
compact the file all is good. I have never seen an issue like this before.
And I can certainly replicate it. I have been passing a file back and forth
to George H from this list and each time to get that portal to work I have
to compact it.

Any advice, suggestions? Is it a bug?
