Save and redirect to a thank you page
I have a form that I need an external user to complete. I want to add a Submit button, that will Save and Close the record and direct them to a Thank you page. I have a Home Page that has a Thank you ...

OK, what if you send then a link to edit the record.
URLRoot() & "db/" & [_DBID_table where the record will be edited] & "?a=er&rid=" & [Record ID#] &nexturl=" & URLEncode(URLRoot() & "db/" & AppID() & "?a=showpage&pageid=5")
I have not tested that, but it might work.
There is a pretty straight forward way to make your own save button with any color and label, which i can supply if needed. You can suppress the native save button by suffixing the URL with
&ifv=1
URLRoot() & "db/" & [_DBID_table where the record will be edited] & "?a=er&rid=" & [Record ID#] &ifv=1&nexturl=" & URLEncode(URLRoot() & "db/" & AppID() & "?a=showpage&pageid=5&ifv=1")
If it is possible to make a button which will save and redirect, it would require using what is known as the IOL - Image On Load technique, which is non native, and non supported by Quick Base and will break in the future when they launch their new forms (not sure when that will happen, but forms have been mostly the same since like 2001, so they well know its time for an update.
So that is why I'm suggesting to explore a native solution.

I tried the code you provided, however, I got a syntax error message.
URLRoot() & "db/" & [_DBID_PRE_SURVEY] & "?a=er&rid=" & [Record ID#] &ifv=1&nexturl=" & URLEncode(URLRoot() & "db/" & AppID() & "?a=showpage&pageid=7&ifv=1"
What would I do to simply have it save the record?
And then to explore, what would be the native option and how that would work.
Sorry, I am not very good at coding, in the process of learning.
