Qrew LegendRhonda, Is the workflow that the user is adding a parent record and then needs to add a child record with a click that first saves the Parent and then passes the newly created Record ID# of the Parent into the Add Child button so as not to create an orphan child?

Mark,
No. So, they enter some basic info in the parent record and then click a Add Items button which takes them to the first record to enter in the child table. this button is the one Quickbase creates when you make the parent/child relationship link.It works perfectly. It creates the first child record and displays the correct Record Id, Order Number and Name. In this situation, the Record ID is the reference proxy and the Order Number and Name are lookup fields. It is here that my older users are having an issue. It is creating the second child record that is the problem. They can't figure out the drop down save button that is the native UI.

Rhonda,
I'm still confused about the workflow. They launch off a Parent record and land on add Add Child form. So then is the issue that you want to provide a button on the Child record (still in Add Mode) which will auto save that unsaved child and land the user on a new Add Child form again?
