I am trying to use a view to display a list of items (Purchase Request)
and want to have the user click on the specific PR they want to work on
without having to enter the PR number in a query field. Best solution
is if the user could click on the PR number in the list to open the
edit form.

Any ideas or suggestions?

Hi,

How about creating a Master/Detail across views?

Create 2 views. On the first view you put a repeating table to show a list
of all the items (PRs). You then add a button to each item in the list. This
button will switch to the detail view (the second view) for a selected item
(PR). On the second view you put a repeating section with all the necessary
fields for an item (PR). Then you filter the repeating section to only show
the details for the item which was selected in the first view. The PR can be
edited in the second view and changes made saved on submission.

Hope this helps.
