Hi Mike,

Rurl() currently seems working within the current app only. This seems to be a bug when it comes to different apps as it defeats the purpose. The only way is to manually redirect using hard coded db id.

Babi,

Can you explain how I would manually redirect? I'm trying to use Marks suggestion but am unclear on some of his references to field id's.

  Mark's response with use of second variable for redirect url is what I talked about.
  
  var text DisplayParent = URLRoot() & "db/" & Dbid() & "?a=dr&rid=" &[Project ID]
  
  Sometimes its freeky to use Dbid() for redirect , so suggested approach is to create a formula field text field within your table and mention the dbid there.
  Example: CF-ParentDBID (Formula text) = "<put the dbid>"
  var text DisplayParent = URLRoot() & "db/" & [CF-ParentDBID] & "?a=dr&rid=" &[Project ID]

    Dbid() just means the Table that the button is on. Just a short form for ease of use.
