Can't seem to get redirect to work after API Call

I'm using the following: var date RightNow = Today();  var text Close = "CLOSED"; var text URLONE = URLRoot() & "db/" & Dbid() & "?act=API_EditRecord"  & "&rid=" & [Record ID#]  & "&_fid_18=" & ...

Jordan, your original method was correct and will work.

The problem is here

var text URLTHREE = URLRoot() & "db/" & Dbid() & "a=dr&rid" & [Record ID#];

it needs to say ....  & "a=dr&rid=" & [Record ID#];

Missing the = after rid

Here is the correct syntax.  Your last line is not correct.



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



here is a longer version for future use


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