Save and Keep working on different form

Question

Strange use case, but I have a situation where I would like to save and keep working, but on a different form. Then redirect to the original form (user can click a button to enter a field, so they are given them impression they are in a different place, sort of like an alternative to a pop up window).

Ive seen some code in the forum for a save and continue working button, but not one to direct to a different form. Anyone ever done this?

I think that this will work if you set the Advanced Table properties to "Save parent record automatically when a child record is created".

URLRoot() & "db/" & dbid() & "?a=er&dfid=10&rid=" & [Record ID#]
& "&NextURL=" & Urlencode(URLRoot() & "db/" & dbid() & "?a=er&rid=" & [Record ID#])

What should happen is that you have dirtied the record and try to navigate away. It should autosave and land on the same record in edit mode using form ID #10. Then upon save the NextURL would be to the same record still in edit mode but on the regular default form. "a=er". Or if you want to land in display mode, the "a=dr".
