Add a new record on a custom form AND view that record on the same custom form once the record is saved.

I have a magic button to add a new record in a specific form ' URLRoot() & "db/" & [DBID XXX] & "?a=API_GenAddRecordForm&_fid_21=" & URLEncode ([XXX]) & "&dfid=18".  It works to add the record, howeve...

The button is located on the form of the parent record.  That "nexturl=" parameter is something I was not aware of.  I'd used "&rdr=" before in other use cases, but that opens up a lot of possibilities. Thanks!  That is a big help in and of itself beyond this specific issue.

That's great! I think you may need to use the nexturl to direct to a page or report vs back to the new record... at a minimum they wont end up on the wrong from.

Or in the case of the formula I provided above, you could back to the parent record by using its DBID.
