Link to form

I was working with a development team who created a button I can click on which displays a word document and the document changes based on certain slections from the main form. Below is a screenshot. I am looking to use this same method to add a new form. i.e. take a word document attach it to quickbase and allow certain items to fill in or be checked off based off what is selected on the main form

    Are you looking to push a button and generate a Word or PDF document with data filled into the document along with the boilerplate template?  Then I strongly suggest you look at paying for an add-on called Juiced Exact Forms Plus.

      right now it just opens a webpage URL and i print it to PDF, Im looking to reolicate this but I dont have a development team anymore so I am trying to do it myself. Basically im wondering where the URL comes from that creates the form that i gave them to recreate. Let me know if im not being super clear about it.

        I suspect that you app is using native Quickbase Exact Forms.  I myself never use that with my clients as I feel its a bit of a pain to create and update the forms.  imho The Juiced Add on is more user friendly when you don't have a dev team to do the work for you.

        You would have to read the Help information in Quickbase about something called Exact Forms.
