I created a test field (fid=155) and tried this:

var text URLONE = URLRoot() & "db/" & Dbid() 
& "?act=API_EditRecord&_rid=" & [RecordID#] 
& "&_fid_155=" & URLEncode("Hello");

var text URLTWO = URLRoot() & "db/" & Dbid()
& "?a=dr&rid=" & ToText([RecordID#]);
$URLONE

& "&rdr=" & URLEncode($URLTWO)

that did not work.  No update to the field.

I also commented out the URLTWO etc.  and used the javascript

"javascript:" &
"$.get('" & 
$URLONE & 
"',function(){" &
"location.reload(true);" &
"});" 
& "void(0);"

That did not work either.  

What am I doing wrong?
