Copy Acct Info

[smoothdra]

Is it possible to specify what fields are copied to a new record when the Duplicate command is activated?

I published my database using HomePage 3.0, but when I duplicate a record I only want certain fields to carry over to the new record (I have two unique fields that I don't want duplicated).

I sometimes have multiple orders per the same account info, and I would like to copy the account info into a new record.

Thanks for the advice.

As far as I know, when you duplicate a record it dupes the entire record, and you have no control.

If you want only specific info duped, then you are going to have to write a script to do it. Easiest script I can think of would be to , after selecting the record you want duped, have script and/or button that duplicates it and then clear the fields you want to put new data in.

Hope this helps.

Is there a way to do that all in one step on the web?

Say. . .click a button to: 1.duplicate the record, 2.clear certain fields, and 3.go to the record_detail.htm page that only shows the fields I want copied over?

Yep, use hidden fields to insert the data you want into the new record.
