I believe that you were trying to click a URL button on a record that has not yet been saved. If the record has not yet been saved, then the Record ID will be equal to null.

So I suggest just showing this button in view mode on the record.

Hi Mark,I actually do need to save some other edits before getting redirected. Isn't their a save record before redirecting function?ThanksG------------------------------George Bramhall------------------------------

If the user is already in add mode just have them check the checkbox manually. But no, there is not an easy way to save the record, capture the rid and execute the URL.

Most importantly I need to redirect the user to a special page after saving. If the savebeforenavigating functionality won't work here is there any way that can just get redirected to this page after saving? Maybe I can use a form rule to accomplish the checkbox change.------------------------------George Bramhall------------------------------

If you just have a button to navigate away from the record, and you have the table Advanced Properties set to save before navigating away, then it should save just with thisURLRoot() &amp; "db/" &amp; AppID() &amp; "?a=Showpage&amp;pageID=18"------------------------------Mark Shnier (YQC)Quick Base Solution ProviderYour Quick Base Coachhttp://QuickBaseCoach.commark.shnier@gmail.com------------------------------
