Hello,
I have a user that wants to browse there past edit after they take a break to see where they left off.

Then they want to add a record and stay in edit mode after add.
Thanks
Frank

Frank,
I guess users can browse records on the list page before adding a new one. Is that what you asking.
In PHPRunner5.2 after record is added user is able to click 'Edit' or 'View' links. It's also possible to redirect user to the Edit page automatically in AfterAdd event.

The users are telling me they add a bunch of records and then walk away and when they return, do not remember where they left off.

I guess they leave the add page open.
They used to use a system were they could move between records using a form and just click add.
I do not think they like the jumping to list page and having to look at the list.
HTH
Thanks

What about using Inline Add?

What about using Inline Add?



There is too much info in the record that needs to be entered.

I do not think they would like to scroll across to record data.
If I can't do the form navigation, maybe I can display the last record first in the list or create a view that shows last 20 entries.
Thanks
Frank

Sorry, I just cannot see how you can fit a large Add form and a list of records on the same page.
In regards to displaying last 20 entries - you simply need to order data by ID or datetime field in descending order (ORDER BY ID Desc)
