  • Can you tell us if you are adding or editing a record and where you are launching from to do this action?

      HI Mark,
      Sorry my post wasn't informative . 

      1. We are using GENCOPY to copy a record

      2. We now want to "save" the record and at the same time open the added record using a different form(dfid) which is much more detailed.

        So, you're using GenCopyRecord from the default View mode form (I'm assuming), which will take you to a new record and show the default Add mode form. Instead of having to then save the record and open it up into yet another form, maybe you could change the form the user is directed to when they click the button? So, instead of the default Add mode form, direct the user to your Copy form. Would that be sufficient for your process?
