I tried switching and it changes the record I need and refreshes the page, but then doesn't launch the email.

- Try this syntax
$URLTWO
& "&rdr=" & URLEncode($URLTHREE)
& URLEncode("&rdr=" & URLEncode($URLONE)) - Almost there! This format updates the record and brings up the email, but the page redirect ends up being blank. If I hit the back button to load the previous page, it shows the record with the change I needed.
- Yes - I have been getting the same problem. Technically what you want is the MailTo to open in a separate window; but I cannot get this to work natively myself from a single button. The problem with having to use the back-button is that this is not user-intuitive behavior and so it would probably be smarter to get some more technical support to make this a user-friendly feature.
Alternatively, use a 2-button process. One button to edit/redirect and a second to launch the MailTo. If you do figure it out; I would love to see the solution. - yea, I've tried a lot of different arrangements of those last 3 lines and couldn't get it to work.
- I have exactly the same issue. Did you ever find a solution?

------------------------------- I had to find a different approach. I made a notification email that triggered from a checkbox instead. I made a button that toggled a checkbox and changed my send for approval date, and my email notification would fire when that particular checkbox would toggle, and the email would send a specific form that was made specifically for email that had all the information, attachments fields, etc.
