While on an edit page, I want to enter text into one field and click a button to have it update a status in the same table but a different field. In a sense, what I am trying to accomplish is a button that if the person reading the data on the edit page is happy with the entered text, he or she can click a button called "Accept" which will in turn update the status field to "Signed" and return the user back to the list page.
Any help for this? I am currently using PHPrunner 6 and the table name is a view named dictationqueue.
Thanks

Why create a button, is it not easier for the user to click the submit button (renamed to what you want) then run an update event based before add keyfield = $keys["keyfiled"]. If that's not easier just run the update event on the server side of the button (add new button on the visual editor tab).

That is good advice but may not work as the final desired affect. I will give it a shot but would still like to know how to do this with a button so that I can have more options that just submit from the edit view. There may be a submit which does what you say but I may want to bypass the submit and allow for 2-3 options for the user to do.

Why not add the "Accept" button beside each record on the list page? The status field will be updated with an ajax call.

[size="3"]
[size="3"][color="#0000FF"]2. Then add the following in the Before record updated event of your Edit page:[/size]
$values["status"]='Signed';
[size="3"]3. Add the redirect link in the After record updated event of your Edit page:[/size]
header("Location: dictationqueue_list.php?a=return");

exit();
