Linking to another record

[kathyba]

I don't know if I am explaining this correctly but this is what I want to do. I have a value list on a layout. The user can select a person's name from the value list. I have another layout with the person's name, address and phone number. I would like to put a button next to the field where they selected the name that would take them to the layout with the contact information. I can't seem to create a script that does that. The button just goes to the contact layout showing the first record, not the record of the name I selected.

How can I do that? thx.

You will need a relationship keyed on the name selected or the ID of the name selected to the name table. Then you can use a Go to Related Record to get to it.
