You didn't mention which language you were using. I'm using VB.NET but most of the code is very simple stuff, just declarations and assignments, so you should be able to translate it to C# very easily. Replace the keyword
Mebythisand you're most of the way there.Inside my button's
_Execute()code, I first make a local copy of the record to be copied:I then add a new record to the database:
And copy over the relevant information:
That will make a copy of the currently selected record if each value in the record is a single value. If a value has a relationship to another table and contains several records, you will need to loop through that value.
For instance, the above is just the general information for my quote. I also have a relationship to a table of quote line items. Each quote has several line items and all of these need to be copied as well. So I need to loop through each line item and create a duplicate of it as well.
