Good morning Mark, I followed your directions and copied the URL from the Quote record button, Import Detail Records ("javascript:void(copyMasterDetailButtonHandler('&relfids=23&sourceRID=7&destrid=" & [Record ID#] & "', 'bqxda6ev4'))") and pasted that into a url button on the dashboard and it goes nowhere, just a blank page. The button works when I am in the actual Quote record but not on the button on the dashboard. So I must be missing something.

Thoughts?
Thanks!

That wizard code looks like it is set up to add children to an existing parent.  I believe that you need to make a wizard button to copy the parent and it's children. 

Maybe we should get these in steps.  I assume that you have a model Project.  Make a button using the wizard to copy that parent and child.  Then one option will be to make a button on the Dashboard which will just land the user on that model project and it will have a button to copy this project.  Once that is working, then we can try to see if that javascript code will will work in a Dashboard button.
