I have a need to create a copy of a record (as they tend to be detailed) and then just change the items that need changed. Does anyone have a process that can be documented on the forum to use?
Also, a copy record button would be a nice improvement to the form buttons development team.

I asked this question a year and a half ago and got some good responses from mamboBrown and others. I never really got around to implementing their suggestions but maybe this would help you,

I'd love to hear how this worked out. (maybe you can even post a solution in the Tips & Solutions area!  )

Thanks for the fast response.
I have been digging more and found http://forums.codecharge.com/posts.php?post_id=59765 which let me do the trick.
I created a copy of my edit / maint page and called it NewRec
On the _list page, I copied the Edit URL and changed it's name to COPY then under Href Source on the data tab, pointed it to the new page.
Back on the NewRec page...
Changed the text box for the key field to a label.
Changed all the properties of the update button to INCERT
Data tab
name : Button_Incert
operation : Incert
Format Tab
id : changes last part of line from update to incert
title :Incert Record
type : Submit
value : Incert
Events Tab
Custom Code
Added : formname.Button_Incert.VISIBLE = TRUE
Right click on the new button and select Input Properties
Label : Incert
Tooltip : Incert record
That should do it.
