i have about 100 buttons in layout 1, each of the buttons need to lead to a certain record in layout 2. how do i have button 3, in layout 1, bring up record 3 in layout 2.

i can't figure this out, and much appreciate any help.

in case you're wondering, this database will be for a resource only, after it's completed, it will not be changed.

thanks

There are many ways: one way is to program the button to perform a find for the desired record.

Another is to use the Go to Record/Request script step, and put the desired record number into a script parameter.

Better to use Go to Related Record. Go to Record/Request/Page operates by record number, not record id.
