When faced with a long form, my preference is to use native Quick Base features to break it up into workable pieces. Make some copies of the form, let's say 3 copies plus the original. Keep the original as the default form for viewing a record. For editing, at section headings, reduce the 1st copy to the first third of the original, the 2nd copy to the middle portion, and the 3rd copy to the last third. Then at the end of each editing form, place a custom button called "Save & Continue" that saves the record and reopens it with the dfid for the next portion. Reply back here if you need help on the custom button.
Other advantages of this method: The smaller forms will load faster than the full-length original. Reliance on non-native methods like IOL raises the risk of something breaking in a future release of Quick Base.
