I have a Schedule table and buttons for start and complete to change the status of the items. The buttons are used in different contexts and so having it go to a specific report is not friendly for work flow. Is there a way to have it just edit the record and stay put without going to record or to a certain report?

no problem. make a formula variable called, (I suggest), URL and then continue the formula box with the javascript refresh syntax.
var text URL =
URLRoot() & "db/" & Dbid() & "?a=API_EditRecord" &
"&rid=" & [Record ID#] &
"&_fid_11=Complete";
"javascript:" &
"$.get('" &
$URL &
"',function(){" &
"location.reload(true);" &
"});"
& "void(0);"
Don't worry that you don't understand that javascript stuff. It just executes the formula variable called URL and refreshes whatever page you were on. It's magic.

And if you don't need to see the change on that page immediately, you can swap out
"location.reload(true);" with the line below to remain on the same page but display a small disappearing popup. It makes it even quicker when trying to update numerous records in a report.
Just replace the bold part with whatever text you need to see in the popup.
"$.jGrowl('Record #" & [Record ID#] & " has been marked Completed', {life: 5000, theme: \n'jGrowl-green'});"
