Opening Master Detail Records in New Window

Question

I have established a master to detail routine where I am using a template to add records to a child table en masse. It works well. But is there a possibility that I could open the newly created records in a new window? And once these are saved, I could see these records by pushing a button on the parent record? I understand I will use two buttons and hide these as appropriate. I am using following statement to import records.

"javascript:void(copyMasterDetailButtonHandler('&relfids=133&sourceRID=4068&destrid=" & [Record ID#] & "', 'bksybcgkb'))"

To answer part of your question (I could see these records by pushing a button on the parent record):You can create either a formula-url or formula text field. &nbsp;And structure a query to search for the records associated with that parent.Formula-Text example:href=' "&amp;URLRoot() &amp; "db/" &amp; [_DBID_MyChildTable] &amp; "?a=q&amp;query={33.EX."&amp;[Record ID#]&amp;"}' target='_blank'Where field id "33" is your [Related Parent] field.Using target='_blank' will open the search in a new window/tab.

Thanks Matt.  Are you missing a parentheses somewhere?

Did you change out all the appropriate variables?the DBID, the 33 for your field doing the search, and the query item (record ID#)?Formula text field correct?
