Thanks!  That did it.  Those URL Encodes still get me, I cant figure out the consistent rules to them

Post your formula; it's likely a syntax error.

Strongly recommend the Magic Buttons application in the Exchange - this will give you huge insights to formatting of formulas; especially when the Quick Base format is new to you.

Remember on redirects you have to URLEncode() the redirect location otherwise the formula doesn't know what to do after the initial API action.

    When you have successive URL API calls, this would be the generic Syntax.   you just slice as much off the salami as you need.

    $URLONE
    & "&rdr=" & URLEncode($URLTWO)
    & URLEncode("&rdr=" & URLEncode($URLTHREE))
    & URLEncode(URLEncode("&rdr=" & URLEncode($URLFOUR)))

    so in your case it is 2 slices so, .....

    $URLONE
    & "&rdr=" & URLEncode($URLTWO)

    Thanks!  I do have the magic buttons app and periodically have looked at it.  Maybe need to spend a bit more time.

    Everything seems quite easy to understand except I always seem to mess up these URL Encodes lol

    Learning curve I guess!
