Hi ,

I am looking forward to create a button on a parent table form to download the related child record table which will get downloaded automatically. Tried multiple ways but its redirecting to the specific report only, not able to download upon clicking on a button. Request your help

    I think that this is possible to do with a URL formula button and a special report.

    Step 1 - make a Table report with an <ask the user> filter on [Related Parent] and set the "format" option to be comma separated values.  

    Then make a formula URL to run the rpeort

    URLRoot() & "db/" & [_DBID of your child table here]  & "?a=q&qid=99&nv=1&v0=" & [Record ID#]

    Replace the 99 with the report # you created.

    The button should run the report, auto answer the ask the user question and create a CSV.
