i usually hard-code where i want the form to go after accept, but it sounds like this does not work for you.
what about appending a var to the url that is where to go after: http://foo.com/app/meetings/editmeeting/123?redir=app/home would that work for you? (i have not tested if the var persists past the form submit though, just a thought. good luck, cfh On Aug 23, 7:44 am, "david.waldrop" <[email protected]> wrote: > I have a basic update form code that is called via a HREF form another > view and form a menu.
