Pulling data from related field when creating a new record

[mikew26]

In my master file I have a master ID that gets auto-assigned. The master ID will be the match field for all related databases. I'd like to place a button on the on the master page that opens a new record in a related database, while pulling the specific master ID across. This would allow me to enter information in the related database, without having to enter the master ID again.

Thanks in advance for any help with this.

Since a button is used to activate a script, you need to write a script which will copy the master id and paste it in the new record. You may want to use that as a reference point for auto-lookups for related fields.
