So from my understanding you are trying to edit the same record you just saved I think by using the "rdr" so I can make a modification there. If you want to pull up the normal QB UI for an edit form you can specify it like this:
URLEncode("&rdr=" & URLEncode(URLRoot() & "db/"  & Dbid()   & "?a=er"  & "&dfid=FormID"  & "&rid=" & [Record ID#])
You just can't specify field values to show up in the fields using "er", but you can specify all the field values in the first call and then display the record using the url above.
