Open Document in Edit Mode

I want a nav button, that when clicked will bring up a specific document in edit mode.
I know the document's DocumentUniqueID. What code do I put in the button to make this
happen ?

Thanks for your help.

is it in web or notes client?

in web means, just have this code as the javascript:

location.href = location.href.split(".nsf")[0] + ".nsf" +"/0/" + document.forms[0].<documentidfieldname>.value +"?editdocument"

if you are not doing this action from the view, just use this code:

@Command([OpenView];"<your viewname>");
@Command([OpenDocument];1;"<your docid>")

As far as i know, there is no parameter in editdocument to take docid, the third parameter is just to show itin preview pane or not,edit document just puts the current document in edit mode, ur question was how to put a specific document (may be the current document but not necessarily) to put in edit mode?
