Duplicating record

Hi

How can I make a copy of a record in the same table via code? Is there a
feature like whole record copy & paste?

Thanks

Regards

Umm... create a select query that grabs the record you want. Probably
point it to the open form.
Turn that into an append query so that it appends to the same table
that it's looking at.
In your form, bookmark your record (if you want to return to it), shut
off your warnings, run query, then turn warnings on again, and return
to bookmark. (or you could go to the last record...)

Sorry. Access != Excel.

Can I do it without any reference to specific fields, as the fields can
change and I don't want to remember to come back and change the insert query
every time?

Thanks

Regards

I have found a wealth of information here on how to duplicate records in forms with subforms. I have adapted code found here to work with my forms. It works beautifully the first time I hit the "duplicate" button. It copies the main form data, the subform data and moves to the new record. Great! Here's the problem...if I move to another record (or stay on the newly created record, for that matter), and hit the Duplicate button...

I have a Form where I have created a duplicate record button, no problem... The subform is where my problem lies. The subform displays data matching the mainform's ID, these two values are linked. The subform has no primary key, since there are multiple matching entries. Basically the mainform displays Customer info + order totals, and the subform displays the products. When I goto duplicate the record, the ID from the duplicated...

I have used the wizard to create a Duplicate Record command button on a form. It works fine for a single duplicate but if I want to duplicate an additional record I receive an error: "The command or action 'Paste Append' is not available right now." I have to close out of the form and reopen to get the button to work again. A bit of a nuisance. Any suggestions.

First off - I want to thank all who respond / try to help out and even those who took a moment to read over my question. Please be patient as I am -very- new to VB in general and unfortunately I've only had the chance to pick up pieces here-and-there. So keep that in mind when reading my inquiry as I am liable to misuse terminology. My question, although lengthy, is likely quite basic but I can't seem to find a solution and yes I have...

My problem is this, I can set up a command button to duplicate a record everytime I click on it. What happens is that I get a record but it will be at the end of the table. For example, if I am on record 5 of 10 records and I click on my button I get a new record as number 11, I want the record to be number 6, inserted after the record I click on. I need to have the records in order because the next step is to generate a new number for the...
