Ok, so the button would be like
var text CheckTheBox = URLRoot() & "db/" & dbid()
& "?act=API_EditRecord&rid=" & [Record ID#];
& "&_fid_99=1"
var text DisplayInEditMode = URLRoot() & "db/" & dbid() & "?a=er&rid=' & [Record ID#];
$CheckTheBox
& "&rdr=" & URLEncode($DisplayInEditMode)
That code is not tested so if there are some syntax errors please post the code and whatever error message there is.

The first; needs to be moved down a line.
