Thanks Laura! I'm almost there but had a snag. My Parent table alias is _DBID_JOBS and I used [JobNumber] as my reference field.
the formula is URLRoot() & "db/" & [_DBID_JOBS] & "?a=dr&rid=" & [JobNumber]
When I click the link, I get an error message, "Job Not Found, It has probably been deleted. If you followed a link to get here, you may want to inform the author of that link that this job no longer exists."
