Thanks for the response Mark.
So I have the Assignments table, and included a Formula URL as a field.
I gave the field some code, had it appear as a button, and had the button colored.
The button shows up in the Report of that table, as well as in the form of that table.
However, when I have the report embedded in the form of another table, the column for the button field is present, but no button is visible.
When I click on the cell for the button, nothing happens, and when I double click it states:
The field is a formula field and is not editable in the embedded report.
That leads me to believe that I can't have the button be usable in an embedded report.
---------------------------------------------
As I was typing the above, I had a thought of how I could possibly achieve what I need.
I wanted to have a button in each row of the embedded report. So that when I click that button it generates a new record for the row and allows me to input the associated data. I need to have the record generated before I input data into the record because I have to bring down some data from grandparents and parents. I have a field that is conditional based upon that data from the Grandparent/Parent.
However, after giving it some thought, I think that the better way to do it would be to have a single button, like the "Add Record" button, in the form.
But it would need to be customized to do what I need/want.
Normally, the add record button will take me to the child record form where I can input the data, then save/close. It then takes me back to the parent form.
I believe that the customized button would need to generate a child record, save/close, and take me back to the parent record immediately. I shouldn't even see the child record form.
I think that this would give me the same result.
Thoughts?
