Question

Query user on form drop down change

I've been digging around trying to work out how to create a pop up to ask for a user response, I have found bits of what I need to do (URL formula to the form etc) but can't quite get the whole thing.


What I'd like is if a field on a form changes state (user selects a choice from a drop down), I'd like to have a pop up to query, "would you like to do x?". A "Yes" response would open another form in another tab and a "No" response would simply return them to the current form.

Any help would be much appreciated!

If I was being asked to do this natively, I would suggest a formula text field which displays a Message on the screen with a corresponding set of response buttons which can either Save the record and redirect the User to another Form (same or another table) or to essentially Save & keep working (save the record, populate the response checkbox and redirect the user to the same record in edit mode).  From both buttons, a checkbox field can be populated to indicate that the user has responded to the first question; and thus on future views; that form message and buttons would not display again.
