Duplicate Command on Forms

[pinkdanbob]

I have a form which enters records onto a table. I want to create a button which duplicates the record more than once therefore the duplicate command button is no good as I may need the record duplicated 10-100 times. Is there any way I can create a button which will enable me to enter how many duplicates of the record I want?

Thanks

Place an unbound textbox, call it NumberCopies.

Private Sub cmdMultiCopy_Click()
 
Dim Copies as Integer
 
If Not IsNull(Me.NumberCopies) then
 
Copies = Me.NumberCopies
 
 
For I = 1 To Copies
  If Me.Dirty Then Me.Dirty = False
  DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdSelectRecord
  DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdCopy
  DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acNewRec
  DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdPaste
 Next I
 
End If
End Sub

But the question is, why? Are you going to change one or more fields on each record? You don't really want multiple totally identical records.

I want to duplicate identical records as I am creating a stock form- I want to record what each pallet of stock contains and some pallets contain 50 of the exact same item and I need them to appear 50 times so I can link a customer to each product...

I'm not very tech so were do I put all the writing you gave me? I only know the really know the real basics of access!

Thanks for your help.

I would suggest that you add a field to your table to track quantity rather than duplicate the same record so many times. You haven't given many details about your project, but I can't imagine a situation where you wouldn't want to just assign a number for quantity. It will make adding items, removing items, counting the number of items, etc. much simpler.
