Is there an easy way to update/modify a field in a FORM just by URL? I have looked through the forms and help areas and I cannot find anything on the topic. 

Basically I just want to change status field (a drop down) in my FORM from "New" to "Active" with once click. I do not want to have to to into the form, change the pulldown and hit save every time (that is already in place). I was trying to create an action button in the report list view that when clicked just changed that value - and I cannot figure out how to do this.

Any help or some direction will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

David
