Hi Antonina,

Here's a KB article that outlines what you described:

Let me know how it goes!
ooooo, I'm almost there! Just it opened the "add new form". how can I open another #19 form to edit current record I'm in?
I have now: URLRoot() & "db/" & [_DBID_THE_CORE] &"?act=API_GenAddRecordForm&_fid_xx="&[Record ID#] &"&dfid=19" &"&z=" & Rurl()

To go to the edit record form replace API_GenAddRecordForm above with er:

URLRoot() & "db/" & [_DBID_THE_CORE] &"?act=er&_fid_xx="&[Record ID#] &"&dfid=19" &"&z=" & Rurl()

The er stands for Edit Record.
hm.. it still gives me the form for add initiative and not edit the record. any ideas why?

Give this one a try:

 URLRoot() & "db/" & Dbid() & "?a=er&key="&[Record ID#]&"&dfid=19"
