Qrew LegendI think there may be a way using a Rich Text field type and the SaveBeforeNavigating syntax, but I'm still testing, not quite there yet.

I played around with it a bit, but I could not get the multi file upload to work in ad mode. I was able to get it to auto save the record and do the multi file upload, except the user then was left on the end of the multi file uploadscreen, and there is no way for the user to get back to the saved parent.
I guess the best I could suggest would be to put a button on the form which would be called something like [Show multi file upload button]. That field would only show in add mode and would be located right beside the native Plug In Multi file upload button - the latter being hidden in Add Mocde). What that field would actually do would be to save the record, and land the user in View mode and they would now see use the multi file upload button which you have set to show in view mode or in edit mode.
Big thanks Mark, I have been struggling with this for a few days now.
I contemplated a similar idea of hiding the QB buttons, creating my own save button, but calling it "Upload Files" - it would save the record and leave it in edit mode... now there is a record ID>0, so now show the plugin button.
Thoughts?
Thanks again Mark,
Chuck

Do you need help to create the save and re-display in edit mode button. It will need to be a rich Text field with the save before navigating syntax. Do you need that code or do you have it?
