    ​I am trying to create a link where the table itself is hidden and it will take you directly to a new form using the ampersand. I am unsure what comes after.

    Can you explain what you mean by "using the ampersand"?

    Casameira,

    Take a look at this post and see if this helps:
    Button to open different form

    the data form ID is what comes after the ampersand in this instance and the post in the link above shows you how to find and use the ID.

    Casamiera,

    A similar option to Adam's would be to use API_GenAddRecordForm. With this option, you can pre-populate some fields in your new record form based on the table from which your link is clicked. You would put something like this in a Formula-URL field:
