How do I add validation to continue to a button?

I have a button to performs copying data from one app to another.  It works great.  However, I want to add an "are you sure" before the button starts.  Meaning when the button is pressed I would a box to pop up and validate that the the user wants the action to proceed.  So basically Yes to continue no to cancel.

    The low-tech solution is simply to have a dummy �are you sure� form with basically a button to go ahead with the copy action or cancel which really means re-display the original record on the original form.

    Post back if you need any help with the formula but basically you�re simply introducing the parameter

    &dfid=10

    Into your URL string, where 10 represents the form ID number of the dummy are �you sure form.�

    Thank you for your reply.  I appreciate it.  Thats a good suggestion.  Seems like Qbase should have something native but that should work.
