If they are just editing an existing record, the easiest way to do this would be to take advantage of the way Quickbase utilizes breadcrumbs. On the record they will be editing, setup a button that will push them to EDIT mode on the form you wish them to use. Be sure to remove any redirect code at the end of the URL. Since the intended form is the last one they visited, that will be used as the default breadcrumb and when the user selects Save, they'll land on it.

Is there a way to hide the system Edit  so they are forced to use the URL Edit button?  I need users on a specific form based on the form type for both view and edit but it jumps to the default form if the system Edit is used.

    You can add '&ifv=1' to the URL and this will effectively put them into an iframe, removing all headers/footers. You will need to be sure to include your own buttons for any necessary navigation when doing this, though.
