Post your formula for the Add Child buttons, you should be using the native & "&z=" & Rurl() and it should return to the correct tab after adding a child record.

    Thanks for the reply Everett.  Code from button below. 

    The issue is that the button to add the child record is not on the child record tab for us.  It basically saves the user from having to click the tab header and then click add child.  This way they just click add child and then when completed it returns them with the correct tab in focus so they can see it come through and review/edit if required.  

    URLRoot() & "db/" & [_DBID_CONTACTS] & "?a=API_EditRecord&rid=" & URLEncode ([Record ID#])
    & "&_fid_104=11"
    & "&rdr="
    & URLEncode(URLRoot() & "db/" & [_DBID_OPPORTUNITIES] & "?a=API_GenAddRecordForm&_fid_17=" & URLEncode ([Related Company])& " &_fid_43=" & URLEncode ([Record ID#])& "&z=" & Rurl())

      Sorry I must have misunderstood, you are wanting a function within the code page that looks at the value of _fid_104 and determines which tab to focus?

      (function () {
//Get the expected tab value
var QBUmytab = Number($("#tdf_1").text());
//Go to tab based on value
switch(QBUmytab) {
    case 3:
		$("#tab_t3_link a").click();
		break;
    case 4:
		$("#tab_t4_link a").click();
		break;
};})();

        Hi Everett,

        I pasted the code in but nothing is happening.  Do you by chance have any debugging code I can insert to see if the variable is passing in and if the cases are selecting properly?  

        Thanks!
