9 years ago ah - I misread your original email - you want to duplicate records, not remove duplicates. so, basically, for an existing record, you'd like a button to create a new copy of that record, duplicating all of it's information, correct? This shouldn't be hard to do, but part of me cringes at the idea of duplicating information in the database. It seems like a better design would be to have a single record for all the metadata, with a list of physical representations of that data for the different formats. But that would take a significant redesign, so for now I think I'll just go with the easy fix.

Without messing with your process to locate and delete duplicate records, we need a function to duplicate records similar to in FilerMaker Pro. This will ensure consistency in metadata for records that are copies of each other but in different formats.
