Finding the portal row which was just created

Show all headers | View raw

Not sure why this seems to elude me...


I've got a Clients table related 1-to-many with an Activities table.

I've got a portal showing Activities for the client, sorted by date,
most recent on top (some dates can also be future).

I've got a script which goes to the Activity layout, creates a new
Activity, fills it with some default/current information and returns
to the Client layout.

I would now like to activate a field in the portal row containing the
Activity which was just created, so that the user can enter the
details of the Activity.

I'm about to write a brute-force looping script to examine every
portal row until it finds the right item, but it seems like there
ought to be something more elegant and/or faster and/or less likely to
break.

Any thoughts? Thanks in advance!
