Paste Record

[Arin]

There's a "Copy Record" script step, does anyone know any easy way to create a new record (different DB) and Paste all of the copied data into it?

I realize that I could copy a Unique record ID and just use lookups, or relational fields, but I'd like to avoid doing that if at all possible.

If not I guess that's my solution.

Duplicate Record is the step. This will create an EXACT duplicate of the current record. Make sure that you then change/update your various IDs and Create/Modification fields.

Maybe I didn't state my problem very well.

I want to copy a record from database "A" and paste it into a new record in database "B"

I found that using the import feature in FMP 5 will provide a usable solution.

-Thanks.
