Opening form in edit mode

Hello!

Does anyone know how/if you can have a form always be in edit mode?  Most of our users are in and out of forms all day for the purposes of editing, so ridding the extra Edit mouse click would be a win.

Thanks :)

    How are they accessing the records to work with?  From a report?

      Yes....  usually from the default report in a Table view.  Sometimes from reports on dashboards and the like.

        I'm sure that you know that they can use the little pencil icon to open in edit mode.  What if we make them a larger URL formula butotn to let them more easily open the record in Edit mode.

        URLRoot() & "db/" & dbid() & "?a=er&rid=" & [Record ID#]

        Set the field to show as a button with "Display as a button on forms and reports" and choose a bright color.
