 The intital submit is working and it shows up on the list as Supervisor Approval Needed, email goes out just fine, but when you go in to approve/disapprove, the correct view shows up - but if click on the reject or approve buttons - the status isn't updating.  I do have a rule on the buttons.

So - are you saying the form never gets submitted with the status of "Supervisor Approval Needed", or when an item with that status is opened, it doesn't switch views, or something else?

 yes I did.  Should only be a combo of those.  I've uploaded a new version of the form.      

Did you check your form load rules? One of the conditions looks weird to me, at least in the copy of the form I have.

 Ok, now that works great but I can't get it past Supervisor Approval Needed.  I redid the buttons, separated the rules, changed the browser setting to always...and it just sits on that status.   Any ideas?

 Thank you.  I did that, then deleted the extra fields on the order form and it works perfectly! I have several tools wanting this capability so you helped me out!

I have attached all of the screenshots. Hope this helps

Promote that field to the form library. Add a query to the library that includes this new column and the ID column - don't ...
