Purpose 
Returns the number of the portal row that has the focus.
Format 
Get(ActivePortalRowNumber)
Parameters 
None
Data type returned 
number
Originated in 
FileMaker Pro 6.0 or earlier
Description 
When no portal row contains the focus, this function returns 0. If there are multiple windows open in the current file, each window can have its own portal row number value, but results are returned for only the foreground window. If a user navigates to a portal without selecting a specific portal row and without making an object active within a specific portal row, Get(ActivePortalRowNumber) returns row 0 rather than row 1.
Notes
 •
If a field on a layout is defined as Get(ActivePortalRowNumber), the window must be refreshed before the field will display the current portal row number.

For information on how functions evaluate differently on the host versus the client, search the FileMaker Knowledge Base available at http://help.filemaker.com.
Examples 
Returns 5 when the fifth row of a portal has the focus, or when the focus is in a field in the fifth portal row.
Returns 1 after the Go to Portal Row [First] script step runs.
Returns 0 when a portal is not selected.
