Any ideas why I am getting the followon error for this URL button: I have the following code for a URL Button: If((not([showcalledby]) or [Unclaim Lead]), URLRoot() & "db/" & [_DBID_LEAD_NOTES] &...

You have "&rid=" & [Record ID#] & twice. Remove the second instance.
If((not([showcalledby]) or [Unclaim Lead]),
URLRoot() & "db/" & [_DBID_LEAD_NOTES] & "?a=API_EditRecord&rid=" & [Record ID#] &
"&rid=" & [Record ID#] & //REMOVE THIS LINE
"&_fid_39=" & URLEncode ([Current User]) &"&rdr="&URLEncode(URLRoot() & "db/" & Dbid() & "?a=doredirect&z=" & Rurl()))

- Does the record ID exist yet? ie - are you pushing the button when creating a new record, or has it been saved and the rid created?

------------------------------- Ahhh, I was creating a new record. In all cases the record ID will have been created. Thanks!!!

------------------------------- Not necessarily. There is a new functionality to deal with that. I haven't played around with it a lot, but here are my notes on it:
Use record ID# as a parameter when you click a custom hyperlink from an add record form. This lets you leverage newly created record IDs and expands custom code page workflow options. Use record ID# in formulas with data-replaceRid=true and %%rid%% where you would like the RID.
Note: You can only use this parameter when the hyperlink navigates to the same tab, not when it is set to open in a new tab or popup.
Here's an example of a formula-rich text field that uses this feature:
var text rid =
If([Record ID#]>0,
ToText([Record ID#]), // Record ID already exists
"%%rid%%" // New record, no Record ID exists yet
)
;
var text url = URLRoot() & "db/" & Dbid() & "?a=er&rid=" & $rid;
