Question

Identify current url, OR, view / add / edit of a form.

This is probably really easy - but I am stumped.

I would like to display a piece of bright colorful text on my form and have it be conditional depending on whether the user is adding a record, viewing a record, or editing a record.

Identifying that the user is adding a record is not an issue, a record id does not exist until after created.

I can not figure out how to tell my formula text field that the user is either in view or edit while on the form. If I could get the exact url from the browser of the user, I could use the "dr" or "er" as my indicator for my formula.

If anyone could share any ideas - I think I might be stuck within a box and need some other brains to have a thunk at it.

Thank you!

    Use three fields.  Then set Form properties to show them respectively for View, Edit, Add.

    Can you then also do an "if statement" in the URL field, to say "IF field=add, then use specific URL, of field=view, then use specific URL, otherwise use Edit URL"?
