Hello. I am just starting to use OO Base after many years using FileMaker Pro. In my first database, I have a simple data entry form. I would like to be able to duplicate a record (except for the primary key, of course) to avoid the work of retyping most of the same information again when there are only minor changes from one record to the next. While filling in a form, I'd like to have a button similar to "new record" or "delete record" that just adds a new copy of the current record. Is there such a button that I am just not seeing? Can I copy/paste entire records?

Is this the appropriate place on the board for questions like this or should I be in the beginners section?

Thanks much!
