Your formula would be
URLRoot() & "db/" & [_DBID_PARENT_TABLE_ALIAS] & "?a=dr&rid=" & [Related Parent Field Name]
Your parent-table-alias is going to be the alias-name of the table of the parent-record; which you can find by clicking on the Settings < Advanced Settings within the parent-table. At the very bottom you will see the ALIAS name - copy the whole thing including _DBID_ for proper use.
Whatever the [Related Reference Field Name] is in your parent < child relationship is the one that you will encode at the end of your formula which references the RID (record ID)

Subject: URL Language
I am trying to find a good tutorial that will help me to create a button to return to the related record in a parent table.
I see some discussions in the Community but I don't know the language.
Is there a tutorial on the URL formula language? In the short term, I want the button, but in the long term, I want to learn this so I know what's going on.
Thanks!
Mike
