Help creating a button to do 2 or more actions

Question

Hi!I need a button to create an "authorization" from an existing form to a new authorization form\.&nbsp; I have both forms built so only the necessary info is displayed.I would also like to have the status field changed (1st form) automatically when I use the button to create the authorization, and display the record to print or even email.Am I crazy or is this doable thru a URL formula?Any help is awesome!!Kelly------------------------------Kelly Lyons------------------------------

Are you saying that you want to push a button which will edit the record to update some Approval fields and then re-display the record on another form or perhaps even pop up a print record screen on but on an alternate form? All in one click? Is that the question?

Hi!Yes, I guess it is one question.&nbsp; I need top change a status field to "authorized" or "authorized and scheduled".&nbsp; When I make the change, I would like to be able to use an action button that will "create authorization" using another form.&nbsp; Then if possible email it.Does this make better sense?------------------------------Kelly Lyons------------------------------

I am still not quite clear what do you want the button to do. Can you list the specific steps that you expect the button to do. I don't know what do you mean by "Create Authorization using another form". Do you mean to create a new record in QuickBase? Also when we make these buttons we have to know where are we landing the user after the button completes its actions.
