I have a button "Add Notes" that opens a new record in a new table.  How can I use an icon for Add notes instead of the button. I want to use the icon for mail instead of the button

      You can make a hyperlink which uses an icon.

      It would be a formula text field with html enabled.

      Not tested, but try this

      var text Image = "<img src=https://images.quickbase.com/si/48/016-email_1.png>";
      var text URL = [Add Notes];
      "<a href=" & $URL & ">" & $Image & "</a>

      or you could create a formula text field that runs the formula url and use can use the built in classes to make the button coloured.

      "<a class='Vibrant Success' href=' " & [URL Add Notes Field] & " '> Add Notes </a>"   

      change Viberant Success to 

      Vibrant
      Vibrant Danger
      Vibrant Alert
      Vibrant Primary
      Vibrant Snowy

      Which would give you 6 different coloured button options.

      Thank I did get the icon to work, Do you know how to make the icon a mouse hover over to display a field from the related table.
      Can you post that as a new question along with your current code.  I don't have time to answer immediately, but perhaps someone else knows the answer quickly.
