I'll do my best to describe this one.

You will need to make a Formula URL field with the following formula.

"javascript:var a=window.open(\""&[Master URL]&"\", \"newwindow\",\"width=600,height=500\"); setInterval(function() {if (a.closed) {window.location.reload();}},500);"

This will open the [Master URL] that you define in a new small window, and when the window is closed it will refresh the original page.

So you will want your [Master URL] to have the API_EditRecord function and the rdr that will be used in the pop-up.

    I'd recommend that for the RDR you have it go to a simplified form where it only has the needed field you are looking for. 

    You can copy the original form, and strip out the unneeded fields.

    So what code is supposed to be in the [Master URL] field? This would be an additional field. Additionally, which URL am I using? Would I create the new form with that single field on it and then pull the URL from the preview form screen?
