Thank you for replying, I tried this, the differences being "a=q&qid=" which I'm really not sure what it does and enclosing the formula variables in <>, all I get is a really long web string in the browser.
var text URLONE = URLRoot() & "db/" & [_DBID_ACTIVITIES]
& "?a=API_AddRecord&_fid_148=" & URLEncode ([Record ID#])
& "&_fid_157=" & [Related Company]
& "&_fid_7=Email Sent"
& "&_fid_142=" & ToFormattedText(Now(), "DDMMYYYYHHMMSS")
& "&apptoken=cwfcy7gdzqrsyncqbi2bn4u4kr";
var text URLTWO = URLRoot() & "db/" & [_DBID_CONTACTS] & "?a=q&qid=1";
var text URLTHREE = "mailto:"& URLEncode([Email]);
"<a href=" &
$URLONE
& "&rdr="& URLEncode($URLTWO)
& URLEncode("&rdr="& URLEncode($URLTHREE))
& "></a>"
Do you know what is meant to happen with the variables enclosed in <a href anchor?

There's a bit of code in the link above which I don't fully understand.
"a=q&qid = 153"
To me this means "action = query and query ID = 153", but without knowing what qid=153 means I'm stuck, but this seems to be the bit that returns to the original page. How do we store queries?

- Did you get this to work? I have the same issue and cannot make it work.
