Thanks Mark!! I read through the link you provided. I should have thought about that.
I have a number of custom buttons already in my different forms for things such as Approvals, Clock in/out, etc., and by using the code in the button, I populate certain fields in the same form.
I guess I wasn't associating the fact that I could do the same with a different table. My understanding and application of the concept stopped at doing things on the same table where the button is located, and it didn't even occur to me to use the same process across different tables.
But it makes sense if I am already transitioning to the other table, to call out the appropriate field and have it pre-populate, which is exactly what I was looking for.
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!!
