I am trying to create a URL formula button on a form that Edits the Record in a Different form and then stays on that form after saving. This formula returns me to the orginal form after saving. What do I add to to the formula that keeps me on the new form?

URLRoot() & "db/" & Dbid() &
"?a=er&rid=" & [Record ID#] &
"&dfid=29"

try this

var text EDIT = URLRoot() & "db/" & Dbid() & "?a=er&dfid=10&rid=" & [Record ID#];
var text Display = URLRoot() & "db/" & Dbid() & "?a=dr&dfid=10&rid=" & [Record ID#];

$EDIT
& "&NextURL=" & URLEncode($Display)

I solved this issue with a custom edit button using this url:
URLRoot() & "db/" & Dbid() & "?a=er&dfid=yourformID&rid=" & URLEncode([Record ID#])& "&z=" & Rurl()

z=Rurl() should return you to the url from where you pressed the edit button, so in this case, the same form in display mode.
