    Open an existing Library Form record from filler form

    I'm trying to figure out a way to open an existing form from a different library using a button in a filler form. For example, I have nameField1 in my filler form. I am looking to open a form in a different library with the same identifying nameField. So I would want the button to look in the second library for a record with nameField1 and then open the existing record.

    Does that make sense?

    How about using a hyperlink instead of a button? You'd want to concatenate the form server url, your second library and then your nameField1 - it will be something like: http://YourSharePointSite/_layouts/FormServer.aspx?XmlLocation=/YourSharePointLibrary/nameField1.xml

    You can also use qRules OpenForm command which allows you to specify a template to open a specific XML with. Let me know if you'd like to go that path and we can give you more info.
