Matthew, thanks for your explanation. This URL coding is new stuff for me. I will study it tomorrow and report back soon.

One question already rises: the values [Record ID#]) and  [Related Project] are these fixed or will they change with every new record? If so: How do you pass the appropriate values into this formula?

    Anytime a formula references a field like [Record ID#] or [Related Project] it is dynamic.  It always updates that value based on the current record.  

    As far as the formula-url goes,  I was suggesting making the addition of the [Related Project] so that the user doesn't have to select that in the dropdown all the time.  

    Just make the user experience better.

    If you get stuck, post back. Or check out the Quick Base University courses to get your feet wet.
