Hi,
If you are on version 7.1, I would suggest a Service-call instead. This
requires only 1 API-call instead of other suggested techniques that
requires a minimum of 2 calls.
The Service-call is a special active link action where you can specify
Form, Input and Output feilds (parameters). You will then create a Filter
that triggers on the Service-action that starts your guide. You do not
even have to have a record to "modify/submit" for the service-call to
work.
