Cloning a record (almost)

frmA is displaying record r1 from tA

What I want to do is create a new record r2 with all its fields (except the
autonumber ID, of course) filled in to be the same values as those in r1 . .
..

. . . and then display r2 using frmA.

From that point I'll modify the values of r2 which are different from r1 and
save it.

(The reason for doing this is that modifying the values which are different
will take less time for the user than keying in all the values for r2 from
scratch.)

I'm thinking that there's probably a "good practice" way to do this and
would like to know what it is!

Thanks in advance.

I posted an answer to your later message on the same subject. 8 hours
is really not long enough to wait before reposting.
