Forms button

I have made my forms look better and it is easier to enter data.  My question is how I can get someone to press a button or tab to bring up these forms in a "New" data entry form?                   ...

Are you saying that you had Legacy (old style) forms and you built New Style firms and now you want to enable them for use?  


Or are you saying that you saying that the users are are used to using Legacy forms and you want to give them a button to view or edit on new forms?

If it's the former, you go to settings and forms and forms usage to permanently  enable new forms.

If it's the later, you get the Form ID number off the list of forms and make a URL formula button like this 

 

URLRoot() & "db/" & dbid() & "?a=dr&dfid=10&rid= & [Record ID#]

Replace the dr with er to edit the record in the new form 

Replace 10 with the Form ID#
