It looks like you are using this or something similar to it and this page explains what the urlToExecute is. It is the URL the code page is going to execute for you while on it. You may have some struggles with the way you have this set up though. It is hard to give good advice here as this is not the whole formula or idea. For example where is your "url" var used? On another note I would not name that var just url.
If this were me I would send the user to a code page and then have the code page execute the checking and unchecking of that particular record while verifying it got checked first before unchecking it. But that would require more JavaScript than the linked post shows. If you use Quickbase and just send the user via the api it may or may not work as anticipated based on how the URL you have above is formed. I am not sure it will work, but it might.

- Hi Austin,
You are correct that is what I am trying to do.
Actually using Kirks magic button was straight forward but with all the new features being released by QB recently maybe I'm getting to smart for myself.
I'll keep working on it but thanks for the pointers.
