Qrew LegendThe syntax of a button to display a record is this
URLRoot() & "db/xxxxxx" & "?a=dr&rid=" & [Record ID#]
The xxxxx needs to be replaced with the table ID you see in the URL when you view the "other" record. It will be a string of about 8 characters.
Where I show [Record ID#] that is where you put in the field that has the [Record ID#] of the Other table's record.

URLRoot() & "db/btbcahsih" & "?a=dr&rid=" & [the field name in this table that holds the Record ID# of the record in the other table].

------------------------------Hi Mark,
I want this button in my app (bsb76aszn), but to push to app (btbcahsih), table [_DBID_POWER_CLEAN]. When I enter the way you have noted, it tells me the [_DBID_POWER_CLEAN] table is not in the app (bsb76aszn). Is it possible to button between two different apps, not two different tables?
Many thanks for all your expertise here.
Melanie

Please post your current URL formula by a copy and paste. Note that the "code" for the table needs to come from the target table and not the target app Home page.
