Hi Renee:

QuickBase uses report links to display related records. These can be from the same table but mostly these are displaying child records that somehow relate to the parent record (like, "display all the tasks where my project's Record ID# matches the Related Project reference field"). And if you use this you can choose either a link or an embedded report.  If neither of them satisfy need you can also add a formula URL field and make that a button that will do the same thing.

The video shows how to gather the information we need for the button and how to build it.

URLRoot()&"db/"&[_DBID_TASKS]&"?a=q&qt=tab&dvqid=32&query={'48'.TV.'"&[Record ID#]&"'}&clist=6.23.127.67.12.13.108.33.86.85.76.77.10.98.75.3.84&slist=12.77&opts=so-AA.gb-V.qws."

 We cover questions like this in our daily, "Office Hours" webinars held each weekday, M-F at 1pm Eastern time. This is an open Q&A session where we take questions and build solutions.

HALLP! I broke my link :(

I want to append this to open a code page that says you're request has been submitted:

But when I was messing around with it (Like I shouldn't have been) it broke. 

URLRoot()&"db/"&Dbid()&"?a=API_EditRecord&apptoken=92wd2db2nn765dy8e3tqcpksavu&rid="&[Record ID#]&"&_fid_186=Request Approval&rdr="&URLEncode(URLRoot()& "db/" &Dbid()&"?a=dr&rid="&[Record ID#]
I get this error message:

The code page is this:

    It looks like you are missing the closing-parenthesis off the end of the formula ) after the last [Record ID#]

    Another version of this formula would be:

    URLRoot() & "db/" & Dbid()& "?a=API_EditRecord&apptoken=92wd2db2nn765dy8e3tqcpksavu&rid=" & [Record ID#]
    & "&_fid_186=" & URLEncode(Request Approval) 
    & "&rdr=" & URLEncode(URLRoot() & "db/" & Dbid() & "?a=dr&rid=" & [Record ID#])
