    Hi Mike,

    Thanks for your hint.  I made it works by moving the RID out the URLEncode.

    Here is the final code:

    var text RID = If([Record ID#] > 0, ToText([Record ID#]), "%%RID%%");
    var Text edit=URLRoot() & "db/" & Dbid() &
    "?act=API_EditRecord&rid="&$RID
    &"&_fid_20="&URLEncode("Yes");

    var text reDirect =
    URLRoot() & Dbid()?act=er&rid=";

    var Text URL=$Edit
    &  "&rdr=" & URLEncode($reDirect)& $RID;

    "<a class='SaveBeforeNavigating' data-replaceRid=true style=\"text-decoration:none; background: #4b7097; border-radius: 5px; color: #ffffff; display: inline-block; padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px; width:200px; text-align: center; text-shadow: none; border: 2px solid #0863f5; font-size: 16px \"href='"
    & $URL

Can you post your entire code? The %%rid%% cannot be URLEncoded, so if somewhere in your code that redirect is URL encoded, that would cause it to fail. There are work arounds, but we would need to see the entire code.

Hi Mark,  I think you caught the point. The %%rid%% is used twice in the formula. 1st time is working, the 2nd time is URLEncoded  in the redirect and it fails.    Can't wait to see how to make it working.  Thanks again.

Here is the code:

var text RID = If([Record ID#] > 0, ToText([Record ID#]), "%%RID%%");
var Text edit=URLRoot() & "db/" & Dbid() &
"?act=API_EditRecord&rid="&$RID
&"&_fid_20="&URLEncode("Yes");

var text reDirect =
URLRoot() & Dbid()?act=er&rid="&$RID;

var Text URL=$Edit
&  "&rdr=" & URLEncode($reDirect);

"<a class='SaveBeforeNavigating' data-replaceRid=true style=\"text-decoration:none; background: #4b7097; border-radius: 5px; color: #ffffff; display: inline-block; padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px; width:200px; text-align: center; text-shadow: none; border: 2px solid #0863f5; font-size: 16px \"href='"
