back to record button

Is there a way to create a button that takes you back to the previous record?

I have a custom button that navigates out of a case to allow us to fill another area but to go back to the case we were working on we have to press the case number in a lookup field. A button would help?

Adding retUrl will work for your backspace key, or the back history button of your browser.
But if you want to add a button to go back to some page, in your case the case Id create a button with execute javascript having the below code
Button Type [Detail Page Button : Display in existing window without sidebar or header : URL]
Formulae : /<caseId field> - case Id field you can get from the merge field option

Is it a VF page or standard page?

Standard page. The first record is a case which has a related list with a button that takes you to another standard page in that object.

Hi,
To the custom button you already have, add "&retURL={!Case.Id}" at the end of URL. Hope it helps!
