Need to "Copy PO" - duplicate record with main and subform

3 New Member
I have been trying to create a purchase order database in Access, and I have been successful in creating all the tables, queries and reports that I need. I have only one issue: I need to copy the PO - which has a relationship set up as one-to-many with a subform that includes the PO items (Qty, Desc & Price). I want to be able to create a duplicate record using a simple command button, that not only duplicates the main record, but includes all the PO items in the subform in the new duplicated record. Not sure how to proceed.

Why are you duplicating??? Surely that is against DB protocol?

what is the reason ? there may be other ways to give that same functionality

I need to copy the PO, then edit - so that PO's with many entries in the ITEM ENTRY subform will be copied as well, the new PO# will be assigned and then I can edit the required date, Vendor, etc. Will save data entry time with a new similar PO.

I need to write a program to "copy" files and preserved the files' atime, mtime, ctime, file permissions. I also need to have this program working in Unix and Windows, where the "Archive" attribute on the file also has to be preserved (any more Windows idiosyncrasies?). Any help will be very much appreciated. Thanks in advance. Ben

Please forgive me if this is a bit off topic, but I haven't had any takers in other forums. With ASP.NET projects, is it possible to have VS.NET automatically change the configuration options of the "Copy Project" dialog box based on the value selected in the "Solution Configurations" drop down list? I'd like to set up the project that when Release is selected and I select "Copy Project", my production server's values are filled in.

I hope someone can help me...I haven't got a clue how to do this. I have a table with several one-to-many relationships. One of the related tables has it's own one-to many relationships as well. I would like to copy a record when I am in a form and append it to the last record. To make it more complicated, I have an auto-number (primary key) on the main table and some of the related tables also. I can't do what I want to do using...

I hope someone can help...I feel like I'm walking in the dark without a flashlight (I'm NOT a programmer but have been called to task to do some work in Access that is above my head).

However, there are related child tables with primary keys (set to Autonumber) stored in sub-forms. That information...

Hello, The C++ reference says the return result of "copy" is an output iterator. I'm wondering how I can assign the returned iterator to some other iterator. I tried int main(){ string s("abcdefg"); vector<charv; vector<char>::iterator k = copy(s.begin(),s.end(),back_inserter(v));

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
