Blake, thanks for your reply!
Our original plan was to go to a different form in the same window, and then go back, but we thought it might be less confusing to the users if it was a popup instead. We are trying to design the system to be as easy to understand as possible to cut down on training and mistakes.

I would encourage you to go that route, rather than the javascript popup. The use of javascript - except for calling code pages - isn't something that's supported by Quickbase and can't be guaranteed to work consistently or long-term.
Pushing users to a different form is a pretty standard practice and your users will become accustomed to it. If you're concerned about user errors, you can also start incorporating message banners (see below example) on your more complex forms or where users tend to make most of the mistakes.
